Thus, the movable clamping element can be shifted on the rod as space requirements demand during
clamping.
 Verify secure fit by moving the workpieces together.
Stay a safe distance away from the machine. Do not stand or reach into the machine.
Keep other people away from the work area.
 Check to ensure that the heating plate has reached the setpoint operating temperature.
CAUTION!!! To guarantee uniform heat distribution over the entire heating element, the
heating element must not be used until at least 10 minutes after it reaches the target
temperature. Check and verify the temperature with a temperature meter and readjust if
necessary!
 Position the electrical trimmer between the two workpieces.
P500 - 630 B PRO BASIC : Verify the direction of rotation! The machines were polarised to
turn clockwise before leaving our factory!
 Switch on trimmer unit. The planing discs should turn in the cutting direction; if not, use suitable tools
to change over the phase inverter in the mains plug.
 Turn the pressure adjustment valve counter-clockwise all the way.
 Press the control lever leftward and slowly increase the milling pressure to the optimal value.
An excessively high milling pressure can lead to overheating and damage to the miller drive.
When the milling drive is overloaded or at rest, raise the machine and reduce the pressure.
 Once shavings with a thickness of < = 0.2mm are steadily exiting the milling machine, press the
control lever rightward and guide the machine apart.
 Turn off the milling equipment, and wait for the planing disks to stop. Remove the milling equipment
from the basic machine, and place it in the storage case.
 Bring the work pieces together, and let up on the pressure by opening the pressure release valve.
 Check to see that the welding surfaces are flat, parallel and axially aligned.
Should the joint surfaces show any misalignment, repeat the trimming procedure. For best results the
workpiece ends should not be mismatched by more than 10% of the wall thickness and the maximum
gap between the joint surfaces no more than 0.5 mm. This recommendation does not release you
from your obligation to observe national welding guidelines. Clear away any remaining shavings with a
Risk of serious injury! During operation trimmer unit, stay a safe distance
away from the machine, and do not reach into the rotating knife. Use
trimmer in working position only and return it into the designated carrying
frame immediately after use. Ensure that the safety switch functions
properly at all times to avoid any accidental starting of the trimmer away
from the basic machine.
