6 Insert size-5 Allen key into regulating screw
(4) insert size-2.5 Allen key into regulating
screw (11) (Fig. 5.12) .
The arrows in Fig. 5.12 indicate clock-
wise sense of rotation.
7 Tighten/loosen screws (11) and (4) alternately
to adjust miller (3) along the z-axis. The miller
is adjusted correctly when angle ’a‘ equals
angle ’b’, i.e. when the distance between each
end of the milling edge and the contact plate
is the same: in Fig. 5.13a the finishing miller
correctly adjusted.
The miller MUST NOT be positioned as shown
in Fig. 5.13b and 5.13c!
Tightening either regulating screw (4,
11) (= clockwise rotation in the sense
of the arrow) moves the corresponding
side of the miller towards the contact
plate.
8. If one of the two screws has been tightened
as far as it will go, slightly release the oppo-
site screw . This slackens the screw that had
been completely tightened.
Do not tighten screws (4, 11) too much.
If screws (4, 11) are too tight, screw (7)
(for adjustment along the y-axis) can
no longer be moved.
Caution:
Be very careful when bringing the
contact plate close to the milling edge.
Always use the magnifier.
Make sure the milling edge does not
hit the contact plate!
