Do you have a question about the AREBOS AR-HE-TBM500 and is the answer not in the manual?
This document is the user's manual for the AREBOS Bench drill 500W, model AR-HE-TBM500. It provides comprehensive information on the device's function, technical specifications, usage, and maintenance.
The AREBOS Bench drill 500W is a power tool designed for drilling operations. It is intended for use in a technically perfect condition and in compliance with all safety instructions. The machine is designed to be securely fastened to the floor to prevent tipping over during operation. It features a belt drive system that allows for adjustable spindle speeds, making it suitable for various drilling tasks. The drill also incorporates a laser for precise positioning of the drill bit on the workpiece. Safety features include protective devices and an emergency stop switch. The device is not intended for purposes other than drilling, and using it for heavy work beyond its specified power range is discouraged.
The bench drill is designed for ease of assembly and operation. Unpacking involves carefully removing the device and packaging materials, checking for completeness and transport damage. Assembly requires securing the column to the base, attaching the drilling table, and mounting the drill head. The drill bit is clamped into the drill chuck using a key.
A key feature is the adjustable spindle speed, which can be set to 550, 950, 1450, 1950, or 2500 min⁻¹. This adjustment is made by opening the belt case, loosening a cross screw and a wing screw to relax the belt, and then repositioning the belt on the pulleys to achieve the desired "height" or speed. The belt must be tensioned correctly (rotatable by approx. 90°) before closing the belt box.
Workpiece clamping is crucial for safe and accurate drilling. The manual illustrates the use of clamping devices, jaws, or a vice to secure the workpiece to the table, emphasizing that workpieces should not be held by hand, especially if they are too small to clamp. The drilling depth can be set to a maximum of 50 mm.
Before starting operation, a test run is recommended. This involves checking the on/off switch and emergency stop function, ensuring all safety devices are intact, and verifying that the table clamp lever and drill bit are securely fastened. The laser helps in precise alignment of the drill bit with the workpiece. Users are advised to keep hands and clothing away from moving parts and never to remove chips or splinters while the machine is running.
Regular maintenance is essential for the safe and optimal performance of the AREBOS Bench drill. The manual outlines a maintenance plan that includes checks before and after each commissioning, and as necessary.
Key maintenance tasks include:
The manual stresses that any adjustments, maintenance, or repairs not described in the operating instructions should be carried out by a specialist workshop using original spare parts. It is strictly forbidden to dismantle, modify, alienate, or install any other protective devices on the machine. Users are also warned about the risk of burns from hot insert tools after machining.
