Kompernass PTBM 350-13 manual Installation and First USE, Switching the Machine on and OFF

INSTALLATION AND FIRST USE

Check that the supply type, voltage and fuses comply with those specified for the machine.

First clean any anti-rust coating carefully from the parts. Then oil the column.

SWITCHING THE MACHINE ON AND OFF

Insert the plug into the mains socket and switch on the machine using the "I” button at the on/off switch . To switch off use the “0” button.

CHECKING AND TENSIONING THE V-BELT

Open the drive/belt cover and check the V-belt tension. If it is correctly adjusted the V-belt should be able to be moved approximately 1 cm in the middle between the two drive wheels. Loosen the adjustment screw and press the motor unit backwards before retightening the adjustment screw .

SETTING THE SPEED

The bench drill has 5 different speeds. The speed is set by simply repositioning the V-belt. To do this open the drive/belt cover , loosen the adjustment screw and place the V-belt on the relevant pair of drive wheels.

Note: The top pair give the highest speed; the bottom pair the lowest ( =2600, = 1750,

= 1250,	= 900, = 600, see figure on page 3).
Then tension the V-belt as described in the section on “Tensioning the V-belt”.
Note: Inside the drive/belt cover		there is a contact which must come together with an opposing
contact (see	) on the drive/belt casing base when the drive cover is closed. The motor can only
be restarted if the drive/belt cover		is properly closed.

SETTING THE DRILLING TABLE

The drilling table can be adjusted by loosening the table clamp screw .

Set the table so that there is an adequate distance between the workpiece top surface and the drill bit point.

The table can be swung to the side, e.g. when you wish to work on a tall workpiece that can be attached directly to the base plate.

DEPTH STOP / DRILLING TO AN EXACT DEPTH

The depth stop with its scale allows you to drill to an exact depth.

First of all press lightly down on to the top of the workpiece surface using the handle and set the drilling depth using the adjustment nut on the scale.

Note: Make sure that you take into account the length of the drill bit point (normally approx.

5 mm) when determining the appropriate setting for the cylindrical part of a drilled hole.

INCLINED DRILLING

The drilling table can be rotated to drill angle holes or to accommodate workpieces with inclined ends. Release the hexagonal socket screws on the drilling table swivel joint. Place the table at the required slope and retighten the hexagonal socket screws.
