Safety regulations: Wear personal protective equipment and al- ways wear protective goggles. Depending on the type and use of the electrical device, wear personal protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-slip safety shoes, a helmet or hearing protection to reduce the risk of injuries. Wear a breathing mask if the work you do generates dust. If dust extractors and collectors can be in- stalled, then ensure that these are connected and used correctly. The use of these devices reduces the hazards that dust poses. General view (fig. 1):

Description of the machine: For profiling, slotting, chamfering, trimming, sep- arating, etc. Your MP 400 enables, e.g., precise machining of sides and long sections such as for doors, flaps and housing parts. The profiling tool is height-adjustable: On a dovetail guide, the carriage with the drive unit can be set precisely with the help of the scaled hand wheel (one revolution is a 1 mm height difference, i.e., one scale graduation line is 0.05 mm). While working, this helps you to slowly and very accurately “feel” your way to- wards the required profile depth as needed. The spindle is manufactured precisely and has a double ball bearing. The see-through guard can be adjusted in height, thus making it possible to adjust it to the work piece thickness; it also functions as a hold- down. Additional flexibility is offered by an angle stop and a longitudinal stop. This can be used on ei- ther side of the profiling tool on the work table. This makes it possible to machine a large width area of the work piece. Also ideal for broader strips or boards. - 10 -- 11 - Scope of delivery: 1 pc. Profiling device 2 pcs. Spanners 1 pc.

Collets Technical Data: Voltage: 220 - 240 V, 50 Hz, ~ Capacity: 100 watt 10 min Working speed: 25000 rpm Dimensions: 340 x 160 x 180 mm Weight: approx. 2.6 kg Tool shank diameter: up to 3.2 mm Sound power level: 104 dB(A) Work piece height/thickness: 40 mm You must wear hearing protection while working! Only for use in dry rooms Do not dispose of the electrical device in the household waste! Operation: Before work: Fastening the profiling device (Fig. 2): Before beginning work, fasten the profiling de- vice 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. Connecting the vacuum cleaner (Fig. 2b): Caution! Connect the dust extractor! It is recommended to always work with dust ex- traction. Insert the vacuum hose 1 of the vacuum cleaner into the connecting piece 2. Inserting and replacing the profiling tool: 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! Inserting the profiling tool: 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 oth- er spanner to unscrew and remove the swiv- el nut 2.

2. Insert the appropriate collet 3 into the open-

ing 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.

but do not unscrew it.

Caution! Please note that the shank diameter must al- ways correspond to the inside diameter of the collets! If the collet must be replaced for this rea- son, then proceed as previously described in “In- serting the profiling tool”. Height adjustment: 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. GBTo precisely achieve the desired depth for your profile, the scale ring 2 can be set to zero:

1. Simply turn the hand wheel 1 to set the pro-

filer to a height where it just barely touches the work piece.

2. Hold the hand wheel and turn the zero posi-

tion of the scale ring to the marking on the profiling guard. The required profile depth can now be precisely set with the hand wheel in compliance with the numerical val- ues on the scale ring. Please also note: One full revolution of the hand wheel corresponds to a traverse path of 1mm, twisting by one graduation line causes a height adjustment of 0.2 mm! Adjusting the longitudinal stop (Fig. 5 and 6): In the position shown in Fig. 5a, the limit stop is suitable for manufacturing chamfers or slots in the front side of strips.

1. Loosen knurled screw 1

3. Retighten knurled screw

If slots or the like will be made in wider strips or boards, the longitudinal stop can also be mount- ed in the position as shown in Fig. 5b. To remount the longitudinal stop, please proceed as follows: Caution! It may be necessary to remove the guard (Item 3, Fig. 6) for this. To do so, release knurled screw 4 and pull up the guard to remove. When replacing the guard, make sure you push the square nut properly into the rail of the alu- minium profile so that you correctly “hit” the hexagon socket head of the spindle in the work table of the profiling device with the spring- mounted hexagon at the miller guard!

1. Completely unscrew the knurled screw and

the Allen screw 1 and 2 (Fig. 6) and remove together with the associated discs and the bushing.

2. Roughly estimate the distance to the profiler;

the longitudinal stop can be screwed into the matching threaded holes in the work table in the position as shown in Item 3. Do not for- get the bushing and the disc. Do not tighten the knurled screw at first!

3. Fine adjustment may now be done as de-

scribed earlier under “Adjusting the longitudi- nal stop”. Angle stop (Fig. 1, Item 13): This stop can be inserted into the designated slot; it can be moved back and forth here. To ad- just, release the knurled nut and turn the plastic element. Working with the Micro profiler: Caution! Always wear hearing protection when working! Caution! Never work without the protective device (Item 7, Fig 1) ! The guard must be adjusted so that it covers the milling cutter closely over the work piece. Use extreme care when profiling work pieces over 5 mm height/thickness. Never reach into the rotating tool! The work piece must only be so long and wide so that it still fits on the work table and can be easily guided (max. approx. 200 mm x 500 mm). The maximum chip thickness should never ex- ceed 1 mm. To manufacture the profile, the work piece is al- lowed to glide along the limit stop as shown in as in Fig. 5. You must make sure that the profiling infeed (the removal) and the push speed are not too great! Too much removal and a too great push speed will lead to bad milling results and strain the ma- chine mechanics unnecessarily. Instead, make several operating passes and readjust the limit stop or the profiling height sev- eral times. Caution! It is recommended to always work with dust ex- traction. A rubber suction connection at the rear of the device has been provided for this pur- pose. You can easily connect a vacuum cleaner here. - 12 -- 13 - A tip on this matter: When using the Proxxon CW-matic vacuum cleaner, manual switching on and off is no longer necessary. The CW-matic is fitted with an auto- matic control device which switches on and off automatically when the power tool is switched on and off. Care and maintenance: Caution! Have defective individual components replaced by a specialist only. Caution! Always unplug the mains plug during repair and adjusting work! The profiling device is primarily maintenance free. For a long service life, you should clean your device after every use with a vacuum cleaner or a soft cloth. Please always use the suction device. Disposal: Do not dispose of the device in the household waste! The device contains materials that can be recycled. If you have questions concerning this topic, please contact your municipal disposal company or other appropriate municipal institu- tions.
