Frequently Asked Questions - MP 300 PROXXON

How to adjust the height of the profiling router bit?

Use the graduated knob (fig. 4). Turn it to the right to raise the tool, to the left to lower it. One full turn corresponds to 1 mm, one graduation to 0.2 mm. For precise adjustment, you can zero the graduated ring by bringing the tool just above the workpiece without contact, then align the zero with the mark on the guard.

How to install the longitudinal stop?

The longitudinal stop can be mounted on either side of the router bit. To change sides, unscrew the thumbscrew and the hexagon head screw (fig. 6), remove the stop, then screw it back into the threaded holes on the other side. Do not forget the sleeves and washers. Then make the precise adjustment with the knob.

What safety instructions must be followed?

Always wear hearing protection (104 dB(A)) and safety goggles. Use a dust mask if necessary. The transparent guard (pos. 7) must be in place and adjusted to cover the tool just above the workpiece. Never put your hand in the area of the rotating tool. Disconnect the device before any adjustment or maintenance.

How to replace the profiling router bit?

Unscrew the lock nut with an open-end wrench while holding the shaft with another wrench (fig. 3a). Remove the used tool, insert the collet suitable for the shank diameter, then place the new tool. Tighten the lock nut again. Make sure the tool is designed for 25,000 rpm.

What is the noise level and what should I do?

The noise level is 104 dB(A). It is imperative to wear hearing protection during use to avoid hearing damage.

How to connect a vacuum cleaner?

The rubber dust extraction nozzle is at the back of the device. Simply insert the hose of your vacuum cleaner. If you use a Proxxon CW-matic vacuum, it will start and stop automatically with the device.

What are the maximum dimensions of the workpiece?

The workpiece must have sufficient length and width to rest well on the table, approximately 200 mm x 500 mm maximum. The cutting depth should not exceed 1 mm. For thicker pieces, make several passes.

How to maintain the profiling router?

Clean the device after each use with a vacuum cleaner or soft cloth. Always use the dust extraction device. No special maintenance is required, but regular cleaning extends the service life.

Can I use non-Proxxon router bits?

It is recommended to use only original Proxxon spare parts and tools. Ensure that the tool shank has a diameter suitable for the collet (max. 3.2 mm) and that the tool can withstand 25,000 rpm.

What to do in case of malfunction?

Unplug the device. Defective parts must be replaced by a professional. Contact Proxxon customer service or an authorized repairer. Do not attempt to repair sensitive electrical or mechanical components yourself.

Operation:

Beforework:

Fasteningtheprofilingdevice(Fig.2):

Before beginning work, fasten the profiling device to a sturdy wood board with the matching screws.

There are drill holes in the housing bottom of the device. The wood board can then be fixed to a table using screw clamps, for example.

Connectingthevacuumcleaner(Fig.2b):

Caution!

Connectthedustextractor!

It is recommended to always work with dust extraction.

Insert the vacuum hose 1 of the vacuum cleaner into the connecting piece 2.

Insertingandreplacingtheprofilingtool:

Caution!

For all work described below, it is advisable to position the height-adjustable safety mechanism (see Fig. 1, item 7) all the way up. Disconnect the mains plug!

Insertingtheprofilingtool:

Caution!

Make sure that the profiler is suitable for speeds up to 25,000 revolutions per minute.

1. Hold the output shaft 1 (see Fig. 3a) with the included open-end spanner and use the other spanner to unscrew and remove the swivel nut 2.
2. Insert the appropriate collet 3 into the opening of the shaft and screw the swivel nut back on, but do not tighten!
3. Insert the matching profiler 4 (Fig 3b).
4. Tighten the swivel nut as shown in Fig. 3b.

Replacingthetool:

1. As shown in Fig. 3b, loosen the swivel nut, but do not unscrew it.
2. Remove the profiler 4
3. Insert a new profiler.
4. Re-tighten the swivel nut

Caution!

Please note that the shank diameter must always correspond to the inside diameter of the collets! If the collet must be replaced for this reason, then proceed as previously described in “Inserting the profiling tool”.

Heightadjustment:

Before the profiling process, the height of the profiler must be adjusted. Turn the hand wheel 1 (Fig. 4) to do so.

Turn to the right: profiler moves up, turn to the left: profiler moves down.
