• Adjustment by handwheels with moveable scale ring (1 revolution
makes for 2 mm feed)
• Tool holder using 6, 8, 10 and 12 mm collet (included in delivery)
• Milling head can be pivoted to the left and right by 90° (with degree
graduation)
• Throat (column outside to centre of tool) approx. 125 mm
• Column of high-strength aluminium continuous casting, extensively
ribbed to achieve optimal strength

Only to be operated in closed rooms!
Please do not dispose of with household rubbish!
Only work with safety glasses!
3 Setting up the milling cutter (Fig. 4)
Do not insert the mains plug before completing the assembly work
as the machine could be switched on unintentionally. Risk of injuries!
For safe and precise work, it is mandatory to fasten the machine onto
a sturdy workbench or similar working support. There are two drills
holes 2 for two M8 Allen screws on the right and left in the machine
base 1 for this purpose.
Caution!
4 Working with the milling cutter
Disconnect the mains plug before you do any adjustments or when
exchanging tools!
Please note:
There is always a potential risk of injuries emanating from all motor-dri-
ven or manually driven parts from machine tools. Therefore, please ensu-
re you always keep suffi cient distance and never reach into moving tools!
Never hold the tools with your hand - always tighten them properly!
The milling cutter is equipped with a so-called restart protection: In
case of brief voltage interruptions during operation, the milling cutter
will not restart for safety reasons. After the correct voltage is present
again, the milling cutter can be started normally with the ON button.
4.1 Height adjustment of the spindle and/or the Z
carriage (Fig. 5)
The milling spindle, or the Z carriage, of the FF 550 can be adjusted
in height in two ways:
1. With handwheel 1
2. With drilling lever 2
4.1.1 Height adjustment with the handwheel
Here you have an available 220 mm traverse path from the topmost
to the bottommost position. The spindle nut is at the bottommost po-
sition for collect chuck clamping approx. 25 mm above the cross table
surface.
1. Please note that the Allen screw 3 must be released before the
adjusting procedure!
2. Adjust the desired height with the handwheel 1 (1 revolution
corresponds to 2 mm feed).
If not working with the vertical (Z) adjustment during the working pro-
cess, we recommend tightening the Allen screw 3.
4.1.2 Feed using drilling lever
1. Release toggle screw 4
2. Release Allen screw 5 at scale ring 6 and set scale to zero.
3. Re-tighten screw 5.
4. Set the desired height with drilling lever 7.
5. Re-tighten toggle screw 4.
When drilling with the drilling lever, basically proceed just as descri-
bed above. However, naturally Screw 4 may not be re-tightened du-
ring the working process! The possible traverse path here is 30 mm.
4.2 Swivelling the milling head by the (Fig. 6):
To swivel the milling head by the Y axis, simply release Allen screw
1 and swivel the milling head to the desired position. Set the desired
graduated number on scale 2 and re-tighten screw 1. The milling head
can be swivelled to every side by 90°.
