Danger from electric current!
DANGER
Danger to life due to electric current!
Contact with live wires or components
can lead to serious injury or even
death!
Observe the following safety precautions
to avoid any danger from electric current:
► Do not open the housing of the
machine. Risk of electric shock from
touching live connections.
► Never immerse the machine or mains
plug in water or other liquids.
► Only use extension cables or cable
drums with a cable cross-section of at
least 1.5 mm².
► Only use extension cables that are
approved for the location of use.
► Check the condition of the extension
cable regularly and replace if damaged.
► Avoid bodily contact with grounded
parts (e.g., pipes, radiators, steel
girders) to reduce the risk of electric
shock in the event of a defect.
► When using the machine outside or in
a humid environment, an RCD (residual circuit device) must be used.
Risk of injury!

Before using for the rst time
Transport inspection
As standard, the machine is supplied with
the components indicated in the “Scope of
supply” section.
NOTE
► Check for visible signs of damage or
missing items on delivery. Report an
incomplete or damaged delivery to
your dealer/supplier immediately.
Preparation
This section contains important instructions
on the required preparation before beginning any work.
Safety measures
WARNING
Risk of injury from a workpiece.
Pressure must exerted by the machine
on and against the work piece during
cutting work, which can cause the work
to piece to fall. This can lead to serious
injuries.
► Secure the workpiece by suitable
means against falling down (e.g.,
clamping equipment).
► Use the protective equipment stipulat-
ed in the section “Personal protec-
tive equipment”.
Checking the properties
of the workpiece
The surface of the workpiece must meet
the following requirements.
■ The surface must be completely smooth
and level.
■ There may not be any burn points, slag,
welding joints or similar.
NOTE
► Before beginning with milling, remove
surface unevenness.
Setting the chamfer height
Proceed as follows to set the chamfer
height:
Loosen the side clamping screw (3,
g. 4).
Set the desired chamfer height by
turning the entire machine head. The
set value can be read from the ring
scale (10, g. 5) (one turn = 2 mm
infeed).
Tighten the clamping screw again.

horizontally and secure it.
ATTENTION
Potential damage to property if the
machine is improperly used!
Observe the following instructions to
avoid damage to property:
► Lay the connecting cable so that
it cannot be caught by the running
machine.
Set the chamfer height, see section
“Setting the chamfer height”.
Insert the plug into the mains socket.
Clasp the handles and put the ma-
chine upright with the supporting plate
onto the workpiece so that the milling
milling cutter does not move onto the
workpiece.
NOTE
► With the EKF Series 500/600, it is
possible to use both side handles (11;
1x short/1x long) either left or right.
Switch on the machine, see section
“Switching on the machine”.
Wait until the necessary speed has
been reached. This process takes
approx. 3 seconds.
Using
13EKF Series 300/500/600
GB
NOTE
Observe the following instructions:
► Never attach the reversing plates (20,
g 6) to the material during standstill.
► Maintain an even feed.
Push the machine slowly and evenly
in the opposite running direction of
the tool. (feed direction = from left to
right).
NOTE
Observe the following instructions:
► Pay attention to the direction of rota-
tion marking on the supporting plate.
► In the case of machines of the
EKF Series 500/600, the supporting
plate rotates to reduce friction during
processing.
► Make sure that the machine and the
