wear hearing protection while working!
Noise/vibration information
The information on vibration and noise emission has
been determined in compliance with the prescribed
standardised and normative measuring methods
and can be used to compare electrical devices and
tools with each other.
These values also allow a preliminary evaluation of
the loads caused by vibration and noise emissions.
Warning!
Depending on the operating conditions while operating the device, the actually occurring emissions
could differ from the values specified above!
Please bear in mind that the vibration and noise
emission can deviate from the values given in these
instructions, depending on the conditions of use of
the tool. Poorly maintained tools, inappropriate
working methods, different work pieces, too high a
feed or unsuitable work pieces or materials or unsuitable bits and cutters (here: saw blade) can significantly increase the vibration load and noise
emission across the entire work period.
To more accurately estimate the actual vibration and
noise load, also take the times into consideration
where the device is switched off, or is running but
is not actually in use. This can clearly reduce the vi-
bration and noise load across the entire work period.
Warning:
• Ensure regular and proper maintenance of your
tool
• Stop operation of the tool immediately if exces-
sive vibration occurs!
• Unsuitable bits and cutters can cause excessive
vibration and noises. Only use suitable bits and
cutters!
• Take breaks if necessary when working with the
device!
For use in dry environments only
Protection class II device
Wear safety glasses!
Please do not dispose off the machine!
WARNING!
Please note the following:
Pull out the mains plug before carrying out any work
on the unit!
In any case ensure that the switch is set to the
"OFF" position in order to prevent the unit starting
up again accidentally or unexpectedly.
Operation of the MSG motorised carver
Inserting or replacing the blades (Fig. 2)
WARNING:
Always ensure that the mains plug has been pulled
out when you insert or change the blade!
Please note the following when handling the blades:
The blades have a sharp cutting edge:
DANGER OF INJURY!

1. Loosen the coupling ring (1) with the chuck key
(2) and pull the blade (3) out to the front.
2. Push the new blade into the slot
3. Tighten up the coupling ring again.
Please ensure that the blade has been securely
tightened up. This is essential for safe and proper
work. This will benefit both the work piece and the
tool and will considerably reduce wear. In addition,
the results of the work will be considerably better.
Note:
Blunt blades should be replaced in good time.
The blades can be resharpened with sharpening
stone No. 28 578 (not part of the scope of supply).
Working with the carver
WARNING!
Always work moving away from the body and never
hold your fingers or hand (Fig. 3) in the direction of
cutting. You could hurt yourself if you slipped. Work
as shown in Fig. 4!
WARNING!
Do not switch on the unit when it is under load (axial
pressure). Do not work without protective glasses.
1. Firmly secure the work piece.
2. Turn on the unit at the switch 1 (Fig. 1).
3. Hold the unit such that the ventilation slots 5
(Fig. 1) are not covered.
4. Guide the unit with light hand pressure (Fig. 4)
and avoid strong pressure. You can achieve
cleaner work results if you let the unit cut
through the material by itself without much
pressure.
Immediately switch off the machine and allow
it to cool down if it has overheated.
Note:
Trace or draw the design motif before starting the
work on the work piece and cut it out roughly.
You can find technical books and templates at your
bookstore. You will also find usual information about
materials and working techniques in our "Manual
for Creative Model Makers" with part number
28 996.
Maintenance, cleaning and care
Attention:
Disconnect the mains plug prior to every adjustment, maintenance measure or repair!
Note:
Every device is dirtied by dust when working with
wood. Cleaning is therefore essential. To ensure a
long service life, however, 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 alcohol (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.
Accessories
For more detailed information on accessories,
please request our device catalogue from the address specified on the last page in the warranty information.
Please note in general:
Proxxon bits and cutters have been designed to
work with our machines, which makes them optimal
for their use.
We will not assume any liability whatsoever for the
safe and proper function of our devices when using
third-party bits and cutters!
