Technical data

Emissions

The values stated are emission levels. Although there is a correlation between emission and imission level, it cannot be reliably derived from this whether additional precautions are necessary. Factors influencing the current immission level existing at the workplace comprise the duration of exposure, the room characteristic, other sources of noise, etc. such as e.g. the number of machines and other adjacent machining operations. In addition, the permissible immission level may differ from country to country. This information is nevertheless suitable for providing the machine user with an improved assessment of the hazard and risk.

Noise emission specifications

Noise emission values determined according to EN 60745:

The noise measurement was recorded using the tool included in the standard equipment.

Drilling with stop pin (Fig. 16)

The base plate 6 (Fig. 1) is equipped with two springloaded stop pins 8. They are used to place the drill holes at a fixed distance of 15.5 mm to the outer edge of the workpiece. The machine stop can be positioned at the left or right.

Drilling with positioning on side faces (Fig. 17)

The base plate 6 (Fig. 1) is equipped with two contact surfaces 6a (Fig. 1). They are used to place the drill holes at a fixed distance of 49 mm to the contact surface. The machine stop can be positioned at the left or right.

Drilling according to tracing via base plate

The base plate 6 (Fig. 1) has reference markings on the top, front and bottom side for the machine centre, drill bit centre and inner sides of the stop pins or the additional stops “N”. The outer reference markings on the front and top side only correspond to the leading edge of the additional stop “M” (see chapter 5.9). The reference markings on the left and right side faces 6a (Fig. 1) each correspond to the centre of the drill.

Drilling according to tracing via tilting stop

The tilting stop 7 (Fig. 1) has three reference markings. The middle reference marking corresponds to the machine centre. The reference markings on the left and right each correspond to the centre of the drill.

Vertical drilling with fixed distance 9.5 mm

Attach the additional support ZA 22 to the underside of the base plate using the knurled screws 23 as shown in Fig. 5 (the handle support 24 points downwards!). The additional support ZA, which protrudes 10 mm above the drilling plane, can now be used as a stop edge with 9.5 mm edge distance. The tilting stop 7 which is set to 0° ensures a secure support.

Drilling with additional stop set ZAG (Fig. 18- 25)

The additional stops 25 (Fig. 6) from stop set ZAG can be inserted into contact surface 21 (Fig. 6), the underside of base plate 6 (Fig. 6) and the contact surface of tilting stop 7 (Fig. 6) with different edge distances.

**** For different edge distances, see sketch images on page 6.

Drilling with position indicator PAZ according to tracing (drilling of longitudinal parts, e.g. drilling of frames)

**** The distance can be infinitely adjusted between 19 and 60 mm to the drill axis.

• Unfasten the wing nut 2 (Fig. 1)

• Use the setting wheel 5 (Fig. 1) to move the tilting stop 7 (Fig. 1) to the very top.

• Fit the position indicator PAZ 26 ( Fig. 7 ) onto the columns of the height guide.
  

• Slide the position indicator in the direction of tilting stop 7 until it engages at the tilting stop.

• Set the tilting stop 7 (Fig. 1) to the desired scale value using the setting wheel 5 ( Fig. 1 ).

• Retighten the wing nut 2.

• The distance between the position indicator PAZ and the centre of the drill hole corresponds to the set distance of the contact surface of the tilting stop 7 (Fig. 8 ).
  

• Use the additional stop “N” on the tilting stop for right-angled alignment to the longitudinal edge of the workpiece.

Drilling with lateral stop set SA 320

Lateral stop for large edge distances and repositioning (flush body machining).

**** The edge distance can be adjusted between 105 and 320 mm in 5 mm increments to the drill centre.

The side stop 27 (Fig. 9 + 10) can be inserted alternately in 2 positions on the base plate 6 (Fig. 1). Position 1: Mount the side stop 27 as shown in Fig. 9. The spring-loaded stop pin 30 in tab 28 is in the same direction as the stop pins in the base plate.

Position 2 : Mount the side stop 27 as shown in Fig. 10. The spring- loaded stop pin 30 in tab 28 protrudes downwards beyond the contact surface of the base plate.

After inserting the side stop, check that the locking lever 31 ( Fig. 9 ) is fully engaged.

By pressing the push-button 29 ( Fig. 9 ) the tab 28 can be adjusted to the desired edge or repositioning distance.

Lateral stop for edge distance with infinitely variable fine adjustment (offset body machining)

**** Only useful if tab 32 is set to a minimum distance of 105 mm!

• Actuate push-button 29 ( Fig. 9 ) and remove tab
  28 completely from the stop rail.
  Slide the tab 32 ( Fig. 11 ) with mounted roller edge guide 34 onto the stop rail and set the smallest distance 105 mm.

• Mounting the roller edge guide 34: Observe the symbols on the roller edge guide in this regard. Position the roller edge guide and push it backwards up to the stop. Close lever 37 ( Fig. 11 ).
  

• Loosen the knurled nut 36 with a few turns.

• Set the knurled screw 35 to the desired distance. Adjustment travel +/- 5 mm referred to the stop pin 8 ( Fig. 11 ). 0.1 mm travel per scale line.

• Retighten the wing nut 36.

Lateral stop for producing rows of holes

**** Only a setting to 320 mm makes sense! (10x drilling distance 32 mm) In this way, you avoid excessive tolerance deviations during continuous repositioning!

• Use tab 32 ( Fig. 12 ) without the roller edge guide 34 ( Fig. 11 ).

• Dismantling the roller edge guide 34: Observe the symbols on the roller edge guide in this regard. Open lever 37 (Fig. 11). Push roller edge guide forward and remove.

• Mount the additional stop “K” 38 ( Fig. 12) from the set ZAG on the tab 32.
  

• Actuate push-button 33 ( Fig. 12 ) and set the tab to 320 mm.

• Attach the additional stop “K” 38 in an existing drill hole and place the other drill holes in the row of holes.

• Then remove the side stop from the machine. Mount the additional stop “K” 38 directly on the base plate. Drill the missing holes between the previously inserted drill holes.

Drilling with trim stop LA (Fig. 24 + 25)

Danger
Only 1 drill bit with max. ø 8.2 mm may be used! Remove unused threaded pin from the machine!

**** The drilling distance to the stop pin is 7.5 mm! When adjusting the drilling depth, make sure that it is reduced by 15 mm by means of the trim stop LA!

For drilling narrow strips (approx. 14 – 48 mm) and small drilling distances, use the trim stop LA 39 ( Fig. 13 ).

• Mount only 1 piece drill bit with max. ø 8.2 mm. ( see chapter 4.4 )
• Press the locking levers 42 ( Fig. 13) together at the trim stop and insert the trim stop 39 (Fig. 13) on the front side of the base plate. The trim stop can only be fitted in the correct position to the mounted drill bit!
• Use the additional stop “P” ( Fig. 25 ) for rightangled alignment when applying it to the stop pin 40 (Fig. 13), or to the additional stop “O” ( Fig. 24 ) from the set ZAG on the stop pin 41.
  
  

Insert these into the corresponding mountings of the tilting stop.

Drilling with dowel drilling template

For working with the dowel drilling template 43 ( Fig.14 + 15 ) see operating instructions of the dowel  drilling template. Order no. see chapter 8 Special accessories.

For horizontal drilling, position the toothing of the tilting stop 7 against the dowel drilling template as shown in Fig. 14.

For vertical drilling, tighten the additional support ZA 22 ( Fig. 4 ) to the underside of the base plate with the knurled screws 23. Then apply the toothing of the additional support to the dowel drilling template as shown in Fig. 15.
