Operating Instructions
The beveller is intended for the milling of edges of
steel, stainless steel, aluminium and aluminium
alloys in the professional sector.
For processing aluminium, aluminium alloys and
stainless steel, a suitable lubricant (item no.:
6.23443) must be used.
This lubricant is also recommended when
processing steel as it extends the tool life and the
machine glides more easily over the workpiece.
The user bears sole responsibility for any damage
caused by inappropriate use.
Generally accepted accident prevention
regulations and the enclosed safety information
must be observed.
For your own protection and for the
protection of your electrical tool, pay
attention to all parts of the text that are
marked with this symbol!
WARNING – Reading the operating instruc-
tions will reduce the risk of injury.
Pass on your electrical tool only together with these
documents.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING – Read all safety warnings and
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference! The term "power tool" in the warnings
refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool
or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
2.1 Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
2.2 Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use
an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.
2.3 Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or energising power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of
dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
2.4 Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it was designed.
1. Specified Use
2. General Safety Instructions
Page: 4
ENGLISH
en

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that
may affect the power tool's operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
2.5 Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects, that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
2.6 Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
a) Do not use accessories that are not
specifically designed and recommended for
this power tool by the manufacturer. Just
because the accessory can be attached to your
power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
b) Do not use damaged power tools. Before
use, check the indexable inserts for chipping,
cracks or signs of severe wear and tear. If a
power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for
damage or install an undamaged accessory.
c) Wear personal protective equipment. Use a
face shield, safety goggles or safety goggles
depending on the application. As appropriate,
wear a dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves
and a workshop apron capable of stopping
small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye
protection must be capable of stopping flying debris
generated by various operations. The dust mask or
respirator must be capable of filtering particles
generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure
to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
d) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
work area. Anyone entering the work area must
wear personal protective equipment. Fragments
of a workpiece or broken accessory may fly away
and cause injury beyond the immediate area of
operation.
e) Always hold the tool firmly in your hands
during the start-up. The reaction torque of the
motor as it accelerates to full speed can cause the
tool to twist.
f) Use clamps or another practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a staple
plattform. Holding the work by your hand or
against the body leaves it unstable and may lead to
loss of control.
g) Never lay the power tool down until the
accessory has come to a complete stop. The
rotating accessory may grab the surface and pull
the power tool out of your control.
h) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at
your side. Accidental contact with the rotating
accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the
accessory into your body.
i) Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The
motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing and
excessive accumulation of powdered metal may
cause electrical hazards.
j) Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks and hot chips can ignite these
materials.
k) Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may
result in electrocution or shock.
3.1 Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is the sudden response to an accessory
pinching or jamming while rotating. Pinching or
snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating
accessory. This causes the uncontrolled power tool
to be forced in the direction opposite of the
accessory’s rotation at the point of the binding.
For example, if an indexable insert is snagged or
pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the insert that
is entering into the pinch point can dig into the
3. Special Safety Instructions
Page: 5
ENGLISH en
7
surface of the material causing the insert to climb
out or kick out. The indexable insert may either jump
towards or away from the operator depending on
direction of the indexable insert holder at the point
of pinching. Indexable inserts may also break under
these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions. It can
be prevented if suitable precautionary measures
are taken as described below.
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and
position your body and arm to allow you to
resist kickback forces. The operator can control
kickback forces if proper precautions are taken.
b) Use special care when working in corners,
on sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and
snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or
bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating
accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.
c) Always feed the accessory into the material
in the same direction as the cutting edge is
exiting from the material (which is the same
direction as the chips are thrown). Feeding the
power tool in the wrong direction causes the cutting
edge of the accessory to move out of the workpiece
and pull the tool in the direction of this feed.
d) Prevent any jamming of the indexing insert
or excessive pressure. Do not set the chamfer
height greater than the permitted maximum.
Overstressing the indexable insert increases the
loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of
the indexable insert in the cut and the possibility of
kickback or breakage of the indexable insert.
e) Do not position your hand in line with and
behind the indexable insert. When the indexable
insert is moving away from your body at the point of
operation, the possible kickback may propel the
rotating indexable insert and the power tool directly
at you.
f) Turn/replace blunt indexable inserts or
inserts where the coating is worn in due time.
Blunt indexable inserts increase the risk of the
machine getting jammed and breaking.
3.2 Additional safety instructions:
Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, because the cutter may contact its
own cord. Cutting a “live” wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool “live” and shock the
operator.
Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
WARNING – Always wear protective
goggles.
Wear ear protectors.
Pull the plug out of the socket before making
any adjustments, changing tools, carrying
out maintenance or cleaning.
Wear suitable work clothes.
Ensure that nobody gets injured by
catapulted foreign bodies.
Keep persons nearby and pets at a safe
distance to the device.
Keep away hair, loose clothing, fingers and
other body parts. They can get caught and
sucked in. Use a hair net for long hair.
Warning of rotating tools
Always wear protective goggles, gloves and sturdy
shoes when working with this tool.
Danger of injury from sharp edges. Wear protective
gloves.
Indexable inserts, holders for indexable inserts, the
workpiece and chips can be hot after work. Wear
protective gloves.
A damaged or cracked additional handle must be
replaced. Never operate the machine with a
defective additional handle.
Pull the plug out of the socket before making any
adjustments, changing tools, carrying out
maintenance or cleaning.
Use of a fixed extractor system is recommended.
Always install an RCD (GFCI) with a maximum trip
current of 30 mA upstream. When the machine is
shut down by the RCD (GFCI), it must be checked
and cleaned. See chapter 9. Cleaning.
Wear ear protectors when working for long
periods of time. High noise levels over a
prolonged period of time may damage your hearing.
Use only sharp, undamaged indexable inserts.
The workpiece must lay flat and be secured against
slipping, e.g. using clamps. Large workpieces must
be sufficiently supported.
Ensure that sparks produced during work do not
constitute a risk to the user or others and are not
able to ignite flammable substances. Areas at risk
must be protected with flame-resistant covers.
Always keep a fire extinguisher on hand when
working in areas prone to fire risk.
Always hold the machine with both hands on the
designated handles, take a secure stance and
concentrate on the work.
Keep your hands away from the milling area and
from the tool.
Do not touch the rotating accessory! Remove chips
and similar material only with the machine at a
standstill. Pull the mains plug out of the socket.
Damaged, eccentric or vibrating tools must not be
used.
Do not work overhead.
Never use an incomplete tool or one on which an
unauthorised modification has been made.

5.1 Attaching the additional handle
Only work with attached bow handle (1) or side
handle (5) (depending on equipment)! Attach
the handle as shown (see page 2, Fig. A).
Attach bow handle (1)
- Fit locking discs (2) to the left and right of the
handle (1).
- Move the handle (1) with the locking discs (2) from
the front to the gear housing.
- Insert the thumb screws (3) to the left and right of
the handle (1) and turn gently.
- Adjust the handle (1) to the required angle.
- Firmly tighten the thumb screws (3) to the left and
right manually.
Attach side handle (5) (depending on
equipment, only for KFM 15-10 F,
KFMPB 15-10 F):
When milling edges of small angles (setting <
30°) depending on the working conditions it
may be advantageous to use the side handle (5)
rather than the bow handle (1). For larger angles,
always use the bow handle (1) so that you can hold
the machine securely.
- Attach the side handle (5) on the right or left side
of the machine and secure.
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.
Danger of crushing! Wear protective gloves.
6.1 Setting the chamfer angle
1. Read the set angle on the scale (17).
2. Loosen the screws (13) and slide both chip
protection plates (14) (on the left and right of the
machine) upwards.
3. Loosen the screws (18) (front and back) and set
the chamfer angle to the desired angle by
turning the guide rail (15). Read the set chamfer
angle on the scale (17).
4. Firmly tighten the screws (18) (front and back).
5. Slide both chip protection plates (14) (on the left
and right of the machine) all the way down.
Tighten the screws (13) (on the left and right of
the machine).
6. Changing the chamfer angle also changes the
chamfer height (due to the design). Therefore,
4. Overview
WARNING 5. Commissioning
6. Setting
Page: 7
ENGLISH en
9
also set the chamfer height again every time you
adjust the chamfer angle. See chapter 6.2
6.2 Setting the chamfer height
Set the chamfer angle first:
1. First check that the desired chamfer angle is set:
read the set chamfer angle on the scale (17).
Adjust if necessary. See chapter 6.1
Determining the setting value:
Note: always produce large chamfer heights in
several milling operations (at least 3). Hard
materials require more milling operations. This has
the following advantages: a higher indexable insert
service life, work results with a higher surface
quality, more pleasant working conditions.
Do not exceed the "maximum chamfer height
per milling operation" specified below.
KFM 15...(at 45°):
1st milling operation: max. 6 mm
2nd +3rd milling operation: max. 2 mm
KFM 16...:(at 45°)
1st milling operation: max. 9 mm
2nd +3rd milling operation: max. 3 mm
Do not exceed the maximum permitted chamfer
height (hmax) (see the Technical Specifications
chapter).
It is recommended that very little material is
removed during the last milling operation to ensure
an optimum surface quality.
2. Select the diagram that applies to your machine
(see back).
3. Select the line that applies to the set chamfer
angle (see back).
4. Example for a chamfer angle of 45° and a
desired chamfer height of 3 mm (see figure
below). Result: setting value = 2.0.
Select the chamfer height that you want to set on
the Y-axis. Draw a horizontal line to the
intersection with the line. Draw a vertical line
from this intersection to the X-axis. Read the
value on the X-axis. You must now set this "X"
value as follows on the machine.
Note: The diagram is based on sharp-edged
workpieces. For workpieces with rounded
edges, the milling height must be taken into
account during setting.
Setting the chamfer height:
5. Pull the adjusting ring (7) upwards and turn it so
that the "X" value from the diagram is set on the
scale (9). See figure (below): set "X" value = 2.0.
(One revolution corresponds to "X"=3. For large
X values: perform several revolutions. The scale
(6) is used for rough orientation during the
setting process).
6. Carry out a trial cut.
7. Proceed as follows if the chamfer height should
be set very accurately for the last milling
operation:
Carry out a trial cut. Measure the cut chamfer
height and adjust it by one scale mark if
necessary by turning the adjusting ring (7):
clockwise rotation = larger chamfer height.
Anticlockwise rotation = lower chamfer height.
Carry out another trial cut. Repeat this step if
necessary.
7.1 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.

7.2 Setting speed (KFM 15-10 F)
The speed can be preset via the speed adjustment
wheel (10) and is infinitely variable.
Positions 1-6 correspond approximately to the
following no-load speeds:
1 ........ 7800 / min 4....... 10200 / min
2 ........ 8600 / min 5....... 11100 / min
3 ........ 9400 / min 6....... 12200 / min
The VTC electronics make material-compatible
work possible and an almost constant speed, even
under load.
Speed recommendations for different materials:
Aluminium, copper, brass.............................. 4-6
Steel up to 58.015 psi ................................... 4-6
Steel up to 87.022 psi ................................... 3-5
Steel up to 130.534 psi ................................. 2-4
Stainless steel ............................................... 1-3
The best way to determine the ideal setting is
through a practical trial.
7.3 General working instructions

6. Fix again the indexable insert (20) with a
fastening screw (21). Torque: 3.5 Nm.
7. Slide the chip protection plate (14) all the way
down. Tighten the screws (13).
Note: Causes for indexable inserts with broken
corners or, in extreme cases, for broken indexable
inserts, can include:
- Impacts on the indexable insert due to incorrect
use: See chapter 7.3.
- Workpiece vibrations: Fix workpiece without
vibrations using clamping devices.
- Indexable insert not correctly fastened: Always
clean clamping surfaces and note torque.
- Indexable insert not correctly fastened: Strongly
worn Indexable inserts do not have sufficient
contact surfaces and therefore may not be
fastened sufficiently. Replace the strongly worn
indexable inserts.
Pull the mains plug out of the socket.
Chips and particles can deposit at the milling head
(19). This can lead to blockage of the milling head.
Regularly clean the milling head and its
surroundings and remove chips and particles.
It is possible that particles deposit inside the power
tool during operation. This impairs the cooling of the
power tool. Conductive build-up can impair the
protective insulation of the power tool and cause
electrical hazards.
The power tool should be cleaned regularly, often
and thoroughly through all front and rear air vents
using a vacuum cleaner. Prior to this operation,
separate the power tool from the power source and
wear protective goggles and a dust mask.
KFM 15-10 F, KFMPB 15-10 F:
The electronic signal indicator (11) lights
up and the load speed decreases. There is
too much load on the machine! Run the
machine in idling until the electronic signal indicator
switches off.
-The machine does not start. The
electronic signal indicator (11) flashes
(depending on the model). The restart
protection is active. If the mains plug is inserted with
the machine switched on or if the power supply is
restored following an interruption, the machine
does not start up. Switch the machine off and on
again.
KFM 16-15 F:
- Restart protection: if the mains plug is inserted
with the machine switched on or if the power
supply is restored following an interruption, the
machine does not start up. Switch the machine off
and on again.
- Overload protection: there is a reduction in
load speed. The coil temperature is too high!
Allow the machine to run at idle speed until it has
cooled down.
- Switching on the machine briefly reduces the
voltage. Unfavourable mains power conditions
may have a detrimental effect on other machines.
Power impedances less than 0.4 ohm should not
cause malfunctions.

Emission values
These values make it possible to assess the
emissions from the power tool and to compare
different power tools. The actual load may be higher
or lower depending on the operating conditions, the
condition of the power tool or the accessories.
Please allow for breaks and periods when the load
is lower for assessment purposes. Arrange
protective measures for the user, such as
organisational measures based on the adjusted
estimates.
Vibration total value (vector sum of three directions)
determined in accordance with EN 60745:
ah, SG =Vibration emission value
Kh,SG =Uncertainty (vibration)
Typical A-weighted sound levels:
LpA =Sound pressure level
LWA =Acoustic power level
KpA, KWA=Uncertainty
The noise level can exceed 80 dB(A) during
operation.
Wear ear protectors!
Electromagnetic disturbances:
In individual cases, the speed may fluctuate
temporarily if the machine is exposed to extreme
external electromagnetic disturbances or the
electronic restart protection may respond. In this
case, switch the machine off and on again.
