Ec Declaration Of Conformity; Repair And Maintenance; Replacing The Drive Belt; Lubricating The Machine - Proxxon FF 500 Manual De Instrucciones

A useful accessory for precisely adjusting the height of the
spindle is the easy to retrofit fine feed (Art. No.: 24 254). A parti-
cularly fine processing depth can be adjusted here optionally by
handwheel (graduation 1 graduation line = 0.0.25 mm).

7 Repair and Maintenance

Disconnect the mains plug before all repair and maintenance work!

7.1 Replacing the drive belt

If the drive belts are worn, you can replace them yourself. You will
receive spare belts from the PROXXON Central Service (address
at the back of these instructions)
1. Release knurled screw 1 (Fig. 10) and swing up the housing cover.
2. Slightly release fastening screws 1 (Fig. 11) and shift the hou-
sing somewhat to the right until the lower V-belt relaxes.
3. Unscrew the motor from the screws 3 (Fig. 10)
4. Now both belts can be replaced. Please note: The belts do not
have the same length! Do not mix up the belts!
5. Screw the motor back on
6. Position the lower V-belt 2 (Fig. 11) correctly according to the
required speed. Use the sticker on the inside of the housing or
Fig. 9 as orientation.
7. Shift the housing back to the left until the V-belts are properly
tensioned and re-tighten the fastening screws (1).
8. Close the housing lid and re-tighten the knurled screw 1 (Fig. 10).
7.2 Adjusting the play of the cross table or Z carriage guides
If the guide of a cross table or Z carriage axis develops too much
play after some time, you can readjust the play using the adju-
sting screw 23, 24, 25 (Fig. 1) To do so, release the counter nuts
1 (Fig. 13) and evenly turn in all adjusting screws 2 until the play
is eliminated. Then retighten the counter nuts.

7.3 Lubricating the machine

After use, clean the cross table and milling cutter with a soft cloth
or brush. Then lightly oil the guides and distribute the oil by tra-
versing the table.
Never clean the cross table with compressed air as the guides
would be destroyed by the entering swarf.
To guarantee the long service life of the milling cutter, please
comply with the lubrication schedule in Fig. 14 (A: Oil before be-
ginning any work / B: Oil monthly). Only use acid-free machine oil
from specialist shops!

7.4 Cleaning and care

Always disconnect the mains plug before any cleaning, adjusting,
maintenance or repair! Risk of injuries!
The machine is primarily maintenance free. For a long service life,
clean the device after every use with a soft cloth, hand brush or
brush. A vacuum cleaner can also be recommended.
8 Disposal
Do not dispose of the device in the household waste! The device
contains valuable substances which could be recycled. If you have
questions concerning this topic, please address your municipal dis-
posal company or other appropriate municipal institutions.
