Working with the device
Caution!
To operate, the work piece must be securely
clamped or otherwise fixed! An improperly
fastened work piece can work loose, fly
about and cause injury!
Switching on:
1. Switch on the device by pressing the
switch 10 (Fig. 1).
2. The speed can be adjusted with knob 1.
Carefully select the correct speed. The set
speed is shown in Display 11 and must be mul-
tiplied by a factor of 1000. Note that smaller
tool diameters tend to require higher speeds
and vice versa.
The correct speed depends above all on the tool
diameter, and in the case of milling cutters, on
the cutting edge geometry and number and on
the respective material pairings.

Caution!
Please also note the recommendations of
the milling tool manufacturers!
The topic is too complex to give blanket recom-
mendations here; the infl uence of individual
parameters can be decisive.
If you are not sure, we recommend you always
work with smaller infeeds and feeds of the tool
and try experimenting a little. This helps you to
get the necessary feel for the tool and to make
full use of its performance range and diverse
possibilities over time.
Caution!
Avoid unexpected start-up! In the event of
a power failure or other malfunction, switch
off the device and disconnect it from the
power supply.
Maintenance, cleaning and care
Caution!
Disconnect the mains plug prior to every ad-
justment, maintenance measure or repair!
Every device is dirtied by dust when working.
Cleaning is therefore essential. To ensure a long
service life, however, the device should be clea-
ned with a soft cloth or brush after each use.
Mild soap or other suitable cleaning agent may
be used in this context. Solvents or cleaning
agents containing alcohol (e.g. petrol, cleaning
alcohols etc.) should be avoided as they could
damage the plastic casings.
