Instructions BFW 40/E
Dear Customer,
With the BFW 40/E you have purchased a machine
which is ideal for milling and drilling metal, plastic and
wood. This machine is equipped with:
- a high-quality, quiet running permanent magnet DC
motor with a high tractive force throughout the entire
speed range;
- high-performance voltage supply unit with low voltage
safety feature;
- stepless speed control for optimal adaptation of speed
to different materials and tools;
- continuous spindle for true-running precision
with 1/2" external thread for mounting collet chucks
or drill chuck;
- ø 43 mm spindle neck for mounting in drilling or
milling stands according to European standards;
- 6 steel collet chucks from 2.35 to 6 mm for optimal
true-running.

Please do not dispose off the machine!
Operation:
Important
The motor must only be operated with the
accompanying safety voltage supply unit (40 volts DC).
There is a risk of injury if used with another voltage
supply unit.
Mounting on a drilling or milling stand:
Note
Safe and precise operation is only possible if the
machine is properly fastened in a stable drilling or
milling stand. The drilling or milling stand must be
securely fastened to a table top. For safe and precise
operation, we recommend the PROXXON BFB 2000
drilling and milling stand in conjunction with the KT 150
compound-type table.
Important
Disconnect the power cable or the motor connecting
lead before all operations on the machine.
1. Insert the machine in a secure drilling stand (Fig. 2)
and tighten the clamp.
2. Connect the voltage supply unit to the mains using
the power cable.
3. Ensure that the voltage supply unit is switched off.
4. Connect the machine to the voltage supply unit.
