Operation

Before first Use

Unpack all parts of the mini drill and milling machine set and check all parts for any damage in transit.
Dispose of packaging materials or store it out of reach of children. Plastic bags etc. may become a deadly toy for children.

Intended Use

The mini drill and milling machine set is designed to perform drilling, grinding, deburring, polishing, engraving, cutting, milling and cleaning jobs on wood, metal and plastic in model-making, workshop and household applications. Use the tool and accessories only for those applications described.
The equipment is to be used only for its prescribed purpose. Any other use is deemed to be a case of misuse.
Please note that this device has not been designed for use in commercial, trade or industrial applications.

Description of the Accessories

Cutting disks (I): For cutting metal and plastic. Insert the cutting wheel onto the clamping spindle (H).
Grinding pins (F): In various grinding head shapes. For grinding and deburring metal and plastic.
HSS drill bit (P): For drilling work on non-ferrous metals, wood, plastic and printed circuit-boards.
Grinding wheels (E): For cleaning and sharpening blades and tools. Insert the grinding wheel onto the clamping spindle (H).
Sanding disks (J): For grinding and deburring wood and plastic.
Engraving pin (N): For engraving decorations and identification marks in glass and metal.
Polishing felts (B): For polishing brass, tin, copper, etc. Also for use with polishing pastes.
Whetstone (C): For sharpening tools.

Sleeves (R): Different sizes for mounting different accessory tools.
Cutter (Q): For cutting plastic, wood and soft metal.
Collet chuck key (A): For mounting accessory tools.

Tool Fitting

Always unplug the tool before installing or exchanging the tool bit!
To insert a tool bit e.g. a wire brush (G), press the locking button (3). Use the provided collet chuck key (A) to turn the locknut of the tool holder (1) counter clockwise to loosen.
Insert the selected tool into the chuck as far as it will go and firmly tighten the locknut, while holding down the locking button (3).

Initial Operation

Ensure that the ON/OFF switch (4) is switched off.
Then plug in the tool.
Use the ON/OFF switch to switch on the tool. The unit starts up.
Use the rotation speed regulator (5) to setup the desired no-load rotation speed. The proper speed depends on the tool used and the type of material to be processed.
The correct way to hold the machine is to grasp the casing firmly with thumb and index finger, just like holding a pen. Take care not to cover the ventilation slots on the side cover of the machine. A whining start up noise is normal and no reason to worry.

Notes

Exert only moderate pressure on the workpiece and allow it to be processed at
uniform speed. You will not finish your work sooner by exerting heavy pressure. On the contrary, heavy pressure will cause the drive unit to slow down or stop. This may overload the motor.
For your own safety, use a vice or screw clamp to secure small workpieces.
If possible, hang the tool on a support stand if you are using the flexible shaft.
Do not kink or bend the flexible shaft very much while working.

Installing the flexible Shaft

Unscrew the end cap (2) from the front side of the tool.
Unscrew the collet chuck nut.
Insert the internal shaft of the flexible shaft (7) into the collet chuck.
Tighten the collet chuck nut.
Now screw the end cap of the flexible shaft onto the tool head.
Insert the desired tool bit into the tool holder of the flexible shaft.
Insert the locking tool (D) into the opening below the arrow marking on the tool holder of the flexible shaft.
Use the provided collet chuck key (A) to tighten the collet chuck nut of the flexible shaft clockwise and fix the inserted tool bit.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Always first unplug the mini drill and milling machine before cleaning or maintaining the machine.
In case of excessive sparking, have the carbon brushes checked by a qualified electrician. Important! The carbon brushes should not be replaced by anyone but a qualified electrician.
Use a brush or similar to clean the ventilation slots.
Use a dry or slightly moist cloth to clean the housing. Do not use aggressive chemicals such as bleach or solvents such as benzine to clean the machine.
Never immerse the unit in water!
Store the mini drill and milling machine in a dry location and protect it from dust and dirt. Store the device out of reach of children.
