GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow all instructions may result in electric shock, fire and serious injury. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mainsoperated (corded) power tool. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

WORK AREA SAFETY

1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

2. 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.

3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

1. 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.

2. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

3. 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 energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

4. 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.

5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

7. 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.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

7. 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.

IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in electric shock. The conductor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.

In all cases, make certain the outlet in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a licensed electrician check the outlet.

GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS

When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows the correct size to be used according to cord length and nameplate ampere rating. When in doubt, use a heavier cord. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

ASSEMBLY & PREPARATION

WARNING: To prevent injury from accidental operation, make sure the tool is switched OFF and unplugged from the power source before assembling the tool or making any adjustments.

CLEANING THE SURFACES

Your tool comes protected with a layer of heavy-duty anti-rust coating. Remove the protective coating from surfaces using a soft cloth, moistened with kerosene (do not use cellulose-based solvents such as paint thinner or lacquer thinner, as these will damage the painted surfaces). Apply a light layer of good-quality machine oil onto the machine’s surfaces to protect from rust and corrosion.

MOUNTING TO A BENCHTOP

For safe operation, the machine must be securely mounted onto a flat, secure workbench. Place the workbench away from direct sunlight, high moisture or dust.

Position the machine on the benchtop and leave enough space around the machine for table travel.

For unrestricted handwheel operation, make sure the cross feed and longitudinal feed handwheels extend out beyond the edge of the benchtop. Square the machine to the benchtop using a precision level.

Drill four 10 mm-diameter mounting holes on the benchtop (same size as the machine’s mounting hole). Mount the machine using four M10 bolts and nuts (mounting hardware not included).

TIP: Your milling machine is compatible with the

WEN 6588 Multipurpose Planer Stand, available at wenproducts.com. Forget measuring and drilling holes on your workbench, simply mount your machine onto the mobile stand with pre-drilled holes, and transport your machine around the workshop with ease.

You may also use clamping kits to hold the workpieces to the machine’s worktable. Follow the instructions with your accessory for proper installation and operation.

ASSEMBLY & PREPARATION

Your machine can work as both a milling and drilling machine, depending on the type of cutter that is installed.

Refer to the introduction below for some common cutter holders and cutting tools that you can install onto your machine.

CUTTER HOLDER

The two most common cutting tools for the milling machine are drill bits and end mills. Drill bits are held in place by drill chucks (one included), while end mills are held in place by either collets or end mill holders (not included). Use the suitable holder for your cutting bit. The shank taper is R8.

• Drill Chucks

The included drill chuck is ONLY able to hold drill bits for drilling operations. It is NOT able to hold milling bits. For end milling or face milling operations, collets or end mill holders are needed.

• Collets (not included)

Collets are shorter than end mill holders to allow more vertical work area. It secures the end mill all the way around the shank to provide a better grip. They are also less expensive than end mill holders.

• End Mill Holders (not included)

End mill holders are longer than collets and so the cutter can reach closer to the machine’s worktable. The end mill is secured in the holder by a set screw that bears on the flat shank of the end mill. Changing end mills is easier to do on an end mill holder. They are also more robust than collets and are less prone to wearing out.

Collets, end mill holders, and drill chucks are held in the spindle by the drawbar (Part No. 210). The drawbar is tightened from the top of the spindle and extends through the spindle to the holder/chuck. When tightening the drawbar, make sure it is snug in the spindle threads, but do not overtighten.

CUTTING TOOLS

An end mill is the most common type of cutting tool for the milling machine. While a drill bit can only make plunge cuts in the vertical direction, an end mill can cut from the side of the workpiece. Some can also make plunge cuts.

• End Mills

End mills can be classified into center-cutting and non-center-cutting mills. In a center-cutting mill, the flutes meet in the center on the tip of the end mill. This allows the mill to be plunged into the workpiece as is done with a drill press. In a non-center-cutting mill, the flutes do not meet at the tip, leaving a gap with no flutes in the center. The non-center-cutting mill can only cut from the side of the workpiece. It is recommended to use center-cutting mills for their cutting versatility.

End mills can also be classified into 2-flute and 4-flute end mills, identified by the number of flutes on the tip of the mill. Commonly, 2-flute end mills are used for making bigger cuts or when cutting soft metals such as aluminum, as there is more room between the flutes to extract larger chips. 4-flute end mills can produce a better finish because there are twice as many cutting edges, each taking off less material. These end mills are used more commonly on harder metal such as steel and brass.

• Drill bits

Drill bits can be used on the milling machine for it to function as a drill press. However, drill bits are not designed to cut from the sides as they are not built to withstand the lateral forces imposed by sideways cutting.

DO NOT USE A DRILL BIT IN PLACE OF AN END MILL.

11

ASSEMBLY & PREPARATION

WARNING: To prevent injury from accidental operation, make sure the tool is switched OFF and unplugged from the power source before assembling the tool or making any adjustments.

REMOVING THE DRILL CHUCK TAPER SHANK

4. Hold the drill chuck gently with your hand. With the other hand, gently tap the top of the drawbar with a rubber or plastic mallet to unseat the tapered shank in the spindle. Then remove the taper shank. NOTE: To protect the table from getting damaged,

5. Wipe clean the taper shank and the inside of the spindle sleeve. Safety store the taper shank and drill chuck.

INSTALLING THE DRILL CHUCK TAPER SHANK/END MILL HOLDER

1. Make sure the machine is unplugged to prevent accidental starting.

3. Wipe clean the taper shank and inside of the spindle sleeve. The mating surfaces should be clean of any debris, oil, or other detritus, as they can improperly orient the taper shank when tightening.

4. Insert the taper shank into the spindle sleeve.

5. With the cylinder protective cover (Fig. 3 - 1) removed, insert the spindle lock rod into the right side hole to lock the spindle. Using the M14 open end wrench, tighten (clockwise) the spindle drawbar to fix the taper shank in place. The drawbar should be snug in the spindle threads, but do not overtighten it.

6. Remove the spindle lock rod and reinstall the protective cover.

INSTALLING A DRILL BIT

1. Grab the drill chuck key and fully insert the tip into the hole on the chuck. Hold the bottom part of the chuck stationary while rotating the chuck key counterclockwise to loosen.

2. Wear work gloves when handling drill bits to prevent injuries. Clean the shank of your drill bit and insert the it into the drill chuck.

3. Insert the drill chuck key and rotate it clockwise to fully tighten.

NOTE: The above steps only applies for installing drill bits into the drill chuck. For installing end mills onto the collet and end mill holder, follow the instructions included with your accessory.

ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING: To prevent injury from accidental operation, make sure the tool is switched OFF and unplugged from the power source before assembling the tool or making any adjustments.

ADJUSTING THE TABLE TRAVEL

The milling machine’s worktable can be adjusted along the X axis and Y axis to accurately set the cutting location.

The gauge on each handwheel indicates the distance of travel.

1. To move the table along the cross (X) axis (left and right), loosen the cross feed lock lever (Fig. 4 - 2), and rotate the cross handwheel (Fig. 4 - 4). Tighten the cross feed lock lever to lock the cross travel.

2. To move the table forward and back along the longitudinal (Y) axis, loosen the longitudinal feed lock lever (Fig. 4 - 3), and rotate the longitudinal feed handwheel (Fig. 4 - 1). Tighten the longitudinal feed lock lever to lock the longitudinal travel.

NOTE: The lock lever can be pulled outwards and repositioned on the screw.

ADJUSTING THE BEVEL ANGLE

The machine’s bevel angle can be adjusted up to 45 degrees to the left and right.

1. Loosen the bevel lock nut on the back of the machine using the large wrench. Keep hold of the column to prevent it from falling.

2. Adjust the bevel angle as indicated on the bevel gauge.

3. Fully tighten the lock nut with the M36 large wrench to secure the bevel angle setting.

ADJUSTING THE HEADSTOCK HEIGHT

For normal feeding, the handle clutch (Fig. 5 - 1) should in the outer position, disengaged from the pinion (Fig. 6 - Normal Adjustment). Rotate the feed handles (Fig. 5 - 2) to bring the headstock up or down. Use the depth gauge on the left of the column to calculate the cutting depth.

For fine feeding adjustment (down to 0.001 inch increments), push the handle clutch into the pinion (Fig. 6 - Fine Adjustment).

Rotate the fine feeding wheel (Fig. 5 - 3) to make fine adjustments to the headstock position. Use the fine adjustment gauge to calculate the cutting depth.

The gib act as a sliding interface between two slide faces. The gibs have been pre-adjusted from the manufacturer and should not require further adjustment until about after a year of operation. In order to maintain mechanical precision, the gib needs to be adjusted to maintain the correct pressure between the two slide faces. Check and adjust the gibs every year, more frequently if under heavier usage.

There are 4 gibs on this machine. Refer to the exploded view and parts list to locate the gibs below:

• X-axis gib (Part No. 33013-036), between saddle seat and worktable slide face.

• Y-axis gib(Part No. 33013-034), between base and saddle seat slide face.

• Z-axis lower gib (Part No. 33013-045), between column and bevel center slide face.

• Z-axis upper gib (Part No. 33013-064), between column and headstock slide face.

1. To adjust each gib, first loosen the lock nuts using the M10 wrench.

2. Each gib has multiple lock nuts and set screws that need to be adjusted. Adjust the pressure by tightening or loosening the adjustment screws using the M3 hex wrench. When properly adjusted, the gib should provide slight resistance without contriction.

NOTE: Adjust the middle screws first, then move towards the two sides to adjust the outer screws to ensure an even pressure. All adjustments screws should be adjusted to the same protrusion.

3. Tighten all lock nuts uniformly.
