8. Use 8.1 Switching on and off Always guide the machine with both hands. Switch on first, then guide the accessory towards the workpiece. Avoid inadvertent starts: always switch the tool off when the plug is removed from the mains socket or if there has been a power cut. In continuous operation, the machine continues running if it is forced out of your hands. Therefore, always hold the machine with both hands using the handles provided, stand securely and concentrate. Avoid the machine swirling up or taking in dust and chips. After switching off the machine, only place it down when the motor has come to a standstill. KFM 15-10 F (see page 3, Fig. B): Switching on: push the sliding switch (21) forwards. For continuous operation, now tilt it downwards until it engages. Switching off: press the rear end of the slide switch (21) and release it. KFMPB 15-10 F (see page 3, Fig. B): Switching on: slide the paddle switch (22) in the direction of the arrow and then press the paddle switch (22). Switching off: release the paddle switch (22). KFM 16-15 F (see page 3, Fig. B): Torque activation: Switching on: press in the lock (23) and then press the trigger switch (24). Release the lock (23). Switching off: release the trigger switch (24). Continuous operation: Switching on: press in the lock (23) and hold it in place. Press and hold in the trigger switch (24). The machine is now switched on. Now press in the lock (23) once more to lock the trigger (24) (continuous operation). Switching off: press the trigger switch (24) and release. 8.2 General working instructions 1. Check the indexable inserts (19). Change damaged or worn indexable inserts. 2. Fix workpiece without vibrations using clamping devices. 3. Pay attention to chapter 8.3 when working on pipes. 4. Set the chamfer angle (see chapter 7.1). 5. Set the chamfer height (see chapter 7.2). 6. Always hold the machine with both hands on the designated handles, take a secure stance and concentrate on the work. ENGLISH en 7. The indexable inserts (19) do not touch the workpiece. First switch on, then place the machine with the guide rail (14) onto the workpiece and only then put the tool close to the workpiece. 8. Slide the machine only in the direction specified by an arrow on the machine (15). Slide the machine only in the direction of the arrow (15). Otherwise there is the risk of kickback. Guide the machine evenly at a speed suitable for the material being processed. Do not tilt, apply excessive force or sway from side to side. 9. Guide the machine in such a way that the guide rail (14) is in contact with the workpiece. 10.Finishing the work: remove the tool from the workpiece, switch off machine. Let motor come to a stop, put down machine. 8.3 Working on the outer edge of pipes 1. Determine the diameter of the pipe to be worked on. 2. See page 3, Fig. C: attach the guide roller (25) to the guide rail (14) as shown. Move the guide roller (25) and adjust on the scale (26) on the pipe diameter. Tighten the guide roller nut with a spanner and thus tighten the guide roller. 3. Pay attention to the general working instructions (chapter 8.2). 4. Always hold the machine with both hands on the designated handles, take a secure stance and concentrate on the work. 5. Place the machine with the guide roller (25) on the outer surface of the pipe. Then place the guide rail on the surface of the pipe end. 6. The indexable inserts (19) do not yet touch the workpiece. First switch on, then slowly tilt the machine around the guide roller (25) to move the milling head close to the workpiece. 7. Pay attention to the general working instructions (chapter 8.2). 8.4 KFM 16-15 F: Possibility for rotating the guide rail (14) For most tasks, the transversely fitted guide rail (14) on the KFM 16-15 F are ideal because high forces are caught better and as a result low-fatigue working possible. For specific tasks, a longitudinally fitted guide rail (14) can offer advantages, however. If you would prefer to have the longitudinally fitted guide rail (14), please contact Metabo customer service for the alteration. 9. Maintenance 9.1 Changing indexable inserts Pull the plug out of the socket before making any adjustments, changing tools, carrying out maintenance or cleaning. Indexable inserts, holders for indexable inserts, the workpiece and chips can be hot after work. Wear protective gloves. 17

8.4
KFM 16-15 F: Possibility for rotating the
guide rail (14)
For most tasks, the transversely fitted guide rail (14)
on the KFM 16-15 F are ideal because high forces
are caught better and as a result low-fatigue
working possible.
For specific tasks, a longitudinally fitted guide rail
(14) can offer advantages, however.
If you would prefer to have the longitudinally fitted
guide rail (14), please contact Metabo customer
service for the alteration.
