Maintenance, Cleaning And Care; Working With The Machine - Proxxon LBS/E Manuel D'utilisation

• Depending on the collet size, bits and cutters may
have a shaft diameter of max. 3.2 mm.
• Insert the tools are far as possible when clamping. En-
sure that the shaft of the tool does not stand out more
than 30 mm from the collet. Excessively protruding
shafts can bend easily and contribute to poor concen-
tricity.
• Do not in any case use bits and cutters with an arbour
length of more than 55 mm!
• When using collets, always make sure that the collet
chuck and the utilised tool have the same shaft diam-
eter! The arbour of the tool must be seated firmly and
securely in the collet!
• Do not work with damaged, bent or worn bits and cut-
ters! Make sure the tools are in perfect condition.
Damaged or worn tools can break and cause injuries!
• When storing the bits and cutters, make sure they are
reliably protected from damage!
Clamping, changing the tool
Attention!
Pull the mains plug out before changing tools.
1. Turn the spigot nut 1 (fig. 2) slightly and press the
Iocking button at the same time, until it engages.
Loosen the nut for a few turns and change the tool.
lf the union nut sticks, use the enclosed chuck key.
The drill grinder LBS/E has an ergonomically design, so
that it can be easily guided at the fitting collar. The thread
for the clamping jaw nut is lowered into the machine
housing. The use of a drill chuck ist therefore not possi-
ble.

Working with the machine

Attention:
• Never work without safety glasses.
• Wear a protective mask if large amounts of dust or
harmful dusts accumulate.
• A correct and consistent speed achieves a high grind-
ing performance, not excessive contact pressure!
• By tendency: Bits and cutters with smaller diameters
require higher speeds than those with a larger diam-
eter.
• Attention: You absolutely must observe the permissible
maximum speed of the bits and cutters! The tool can
break when the maximum permissible speed is ex-
ceeded. Flying parts can cause damage and severe in-
juries!
1. To activate, operate switch 2 (Fig. 1) and set the right
speed for the work on rotational speed adjusting knob
1 (Fig. 1). Applicable in principle, tools with smaller di-
ameters must be operated at higher speeds, and tools
with greater diameters at lower speeds in order to
achieve optimal results.
2. If you would like to guide the device by hand while
working, hold it like a ballpoint pen whilst milling or
engraving. Do not cover the ventilation slots (Fig. 3).
For coarser work, hold the device like the shaft of a
hammer (Fig. 4).
3. An ideal working environment is achieved if the device
is clamped by its 20 mm fit into a drill stand, a univer-
sal holder or comparable mechanism.
4. A diversity of additional fields of application develop
when combining your professional grinder LBS/E with
other machines and devices!

Maintenance, cleaning and care

Attention:
Disconnect the mains plug prior to every adjustment,
maintenance measure or repair!
Every device is dirtied by dust when working. Cleaning
is therefore essential. To ensure a long service life, how-
ever, the machine should be cleaned with a soft cloth or
brush after each use.
Mild soap or other suitable cleaning agent may be used
in this context. Solvents or cleaning agents containing al-
cohol (e.g. petrol, cleaning alcohols, etc.) should be
avoided, since these can attack plastic casings.
The apertures required for cooling the motor must always
be kept free of dust and dirt.
