Brief Description - IGM Fachmann MFT2200 Mode D'emploi

 The cutting depth must never be adjusted with the motor
running. A mistake in this time could lead to personal
injury and/or damage to the milling head or work-piece.
 The operator should remain alert and keep the milling
head apart from all objects during operation.
 When the milling operation has been completed,
locking lever should be operated so that the machine
returns to its upper starting position.
 The motor must be allowed to come to completely stop
before being put to one side between uses.
 The milling heads should be protected from impacts
and knocks.
 The milling heads should not be touched after use
because they could cause serious burns.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION

This machine is designed for use with rotary milling heads
for milling slots, edges, profiles and rough-edged holes,
from a firm base, in wood, synthetic and light construction
materials, and for milling operation with a copier.
By employing the correct milling heads and using slow
speeds, non-ferrous metals may also be milled.
BEFORE USING THIS TOOL
Make sure the mains voltage is correct: it must be the
same as that on the specification label. Machines with
230-V can also be connected to a 220-V mains supply.
The machine is put into operation using the lever A,
pressing it upwards (I-ON) will start the machine. Press-
ing it towards the base (0-OFF) will stop it.
Speed adjustments. Constant electronic performance
The control electronics allow continuous pre-setting of
the revolutions and impact frequency to adapt the ma-
chine to the type of material to be worked on. Adjust-
ment is made using the speed adjustment switch L,
which has 6 positions to regulate the speed.
The higher the number, the greater the speed and
impact energy. The range of settings from "1" (low
power) to "6" (full power) makes the tool very flexible
and adaptable to different applications.
The constant speed control maintains the pre-set num-
ber of revolutions and impact frequency.
Check the speed adjustment label N for the desired
working speed.

MILLING HEAD SELECTION AND INSTALLATION
1.1. Milling head selection
Depending on the materials to be worked, the following
milling head qualities may be selected:
 High-performance, fast-cutting steel milling heads
(HSS): suitable for soft materials, such as soft woods
and plastic.
 Milling heads with hard metal blades (HM): suitable
hard and abrasive materials, such as hard woods and
aluminum.
WARNING! The milling heads that are employed must
be officially approved in accordance with the maximum
revolutions defined for the respective tools. The milling
head shaft diameter should match the inside diameter of
the tool-holder (locking clip).
1.2. Milling head installation
WARNING! The mains cable must be removed from the
socket before any adjustments are made to the machine.
It is recommended that protective gloves be worn when
installing or removing milling heads.
- To install the milling head, press the spindle lock of
shaft B until it coincides with the shaft planes.
- A 22-mm spanner should be used to loosen clip fixing
nut D in an anticlockwise direction.
- Insert the milling head so that the shaft enters the clip
by a minimum of 20 mm (shaft length).
- Tighten the clip fixing nut D with the spanner and
release the clip-carrier shaft support lever B.
PRECAUTION: Do not tighten clip fixing nut D without a
milling head inserted into the clip.
ADJUSTING MILLING OPERATION DEPTH
WARNING! The milling operation depth adjustment
must only be performed with the machine switched off.
The milling operation depth may be adjusted according
to the work to be carried out.
The machine is fitted with a depth stop E, the upper
surface of which is used in conjunction with the gradu-
ated scale M fine control of the milling operation depth.
For deep cutting operations, it is recommended that
several passes be made, with a reduced chip thickness.
Operate the fixing lever H and slowly push the upper
section of the machine against the depth stop E. Lock
the machine by releasing the fixing lever H.
Pressing locking button G will unlock the depth stop E,
providing a simple method of stop adjustment.
Fixing lever H should be pressed to immobilize the
machine at a determined working height.
To prevent running off-load, rotate the depth adjustment
handle C until the desired return distance is obtained.
With the stepped stop F it is possible to perform the
milling operation in three stages. To start, adjust the
milling depth to the lowest position of stepped stop F.
Then the milling operation can be carried out at the
higher positions.
PRECAUTION: For large diameter cuts, it is recom-
mended that the depth is set to minimum and to con-
tinue cutting in stages.
When commencing the work, the milling head should be
slowly entered until the desired depth is obtained and
then allowed to advance, always supporting the machine
with two hands.
