Operating
Select a suitable burr/cutter that has a free running speed higher
than the maximum running speed marked on the tool. Make
sure that the diameter of the shank exactly matches the diameter
of the collet mounted in the tool. The collet size available for this
tool is 1/4" dia (6.35 mm).
Never try to close a 1/4" diameter collet to secure a 6 mm
shank. Always match correctly the shank size to the collet size.
If uncertain, have parts measured by a competent person. Push
the shank as far as possible into the collet and tighten the collet
nut using the spanners provided on the collet nut and output
spindle. The shank of the mounted point may be pulled forward
from the maximum insertion length but always ensure a
minimum gripping length of 10 mm.
The cutting edge of the burr/cutter must be between the Shoe
Plate (44) and the Adjusting Bar (39). Set depth of cut by
screwing Adjusting Screw (35) to set roller height.
The cutter must be unchipped and in good condition especially
the shank. The fitting of the burr/cutter should be done by a
trained operator. When first starting the tool with a new cutter
the tool should not be near other persons and be held in a
protected area, i.e. under a bench and run for a few seconds.
This will protect personnel from possible effects of damage to the
cutter before it was fitted to the tool.
Always use eye protection and wear protective gloves if there are
sharp edges in the work area. The tool and the process can
create a noise level such that the use of ear protectors is advised.
If the process creates a dust then use a suitable breathing mask.
Check that the material being work will not cause harmful dust or
fumes. If this is so then special breathing masks may be
required. If the tool vibrates when first fitting burr/cutter or
during operation, remove from service immediately and correct
fault before continuing to use.
Do not apply excessive pressure as this will reduce the cutting
efficiency and apply light loads to allow the burr/cutter to cut.
Handle the tool with care. If the tool is dropped, carefully check
for damage, i.e. chipping and start for the first time as for fitting
a new cutter, i.e. under a bench.
Never exceed the maximum air pressure. If there is possibility
always use this tool with a pressure reducing valve fitted in the
supply line. Your supplier will advise of suitable equipment. This
tool is fitted with a speed regulator and the speed may be
reduced by rotating Air Regulator (4) with a suitable screwdriver.
When making speed checks always rotate the air regulator to the
position to give the highest maximum speed.
