4 Safety E681en_02
Risk of injury to hands.
WARNING
Ø Do not reach into the processing line with your hands.
Ø Use both hands to hold the machine.
6 Description E681en_02
■ Bevelling of straight and curved edges, provided the mini-
mum radius of the inner curve is 55 mm.
■ Bevelling of edges on level and crooked workpieces, in par-
ticular tubes with an inside diameter of at least 100 mm.
■ Bevelling of edges in both directions, with the bevelling proc-
ess being able to be started and finished at any point of the
sheet edge.
■ Bevelling of edges on large, bulky workpieces, for which the
bevelling machine is guided as a hand-held device.
■ Bevelling of edges in normal position (carrier below the
machine) and in "upside-down position" (carrier above the
machine), which is of advantage in particular when bevelling
X and K welding joints.
The TRUMPF TruTool TKF 1500 beveler (1B1) also offers 2-
gear changing for modifying the working speed when machining
high-tensile materials.
Note
The following symbols are important for reading and understand-
ing the instruction manual. The correct interpretation of the sym-
bols will help you operate the machine better and safer.
Notes
■ The specified vibration emission value was measured in
accordance with a standardized testing procedure and can
be used to compare one electric tool with another.
E681en_02 Symbols 9
■ The specified vibration emission value can also be applied
for a provisional estimate of the vibration load.
■ Times during which either the machine is switched off or run-
ning but not actually in use can considerably reduce the
vibration load during the entire working period.

2. Consult the table to find the desired length of bevel/ram
length ls and the associated scale value W (see "Tab. 5", pg.
11).
3. Rotate the crank sliding block (65) until the scale value W on
the crank sliding block lines up with the reference point B.
4. Tighten the hex. screw (60).
Notes
■ With stripper (24), the angle of bevel "ß" is continuously
adjustable between 20° and 45°.
■ With stripper 55° (order number 0032119), the angle of
bevel "ß" is adjustable between 20° and 55°. Stripper
(24) must be exchanged for this.
1. Undo the screws (61) (on both sides).
2. Set the desired angle in accordance with the scale.
3. Retighten the screws (61).

Regrinding dia-
gram
Note
Optimum utilzation of the high-performance cutting tool is
ensured only with the machine in the 2-gear version.
Adjust the height of the cutting tool in such a way that it pro-
trudes approximately 1 mm (min. 0, max. 3 mm) out of the slid-
ing sleeve (22).
1. Rotate the eccentric shaft (15) until the cutting tool (1) has
achieved its highest point (UDP = upper dead point).
2. Undo the clamping screw (7).
Note
Depending on the material thickness, tensile strength and type of
workpiece, a different gear must be selected for machining.
Instead of in 2nd gear, 1st gear can always be worked with, but
never vice versa.
Chips that fall away during machining are collected in the chip
box.
Tube-shaped handle
Note
Do not use washers.
Ø Tighten the tube-shaped handle with a screw (2).
Roller holder without handle 1. When the roller holder is to be installed without a handle
base base, the supplied screws, washers, and nuts will also be
required.
The roller holder below can be used to bevel tubes with an out-
side diameter of up to 200 mm. The minimum tube inside diam-
eter must be 100 mm.

Installing the roller holder
The special tool below can be used for pipe and tube process-
ing for bevelling tubes with an inside diameter of 30-120 mm.
The wall thickness of the tubes must not exceed 11 mm for this
process.

4. Operation
Notes
■Do not move the machine towards the workpiece until full
speed has been reached.
■ In order to improve the cutting result and increase the
service life of the cutting tool, coat the cutting track with
oil before machining the workpiece.
5. Processing the material:
28 Operation E681en_02
− Place machine on the sheet and at first maintain a few
centimetres clearance between the cutting tool and the
sheet edge.
− Push the machine carefully as far as possible against the
sheet edge i. e. "piercing".
− Slide the machine along the sheet in such away that the
machine axis is roughly parallel to the sheet edge.
− Press the machine against the sheet edge while doing
so.
Switching off the machine 6. Press the off switch (2).

5. Maintenance
Notes
■ Maintain the minimum length of the cutting tools (see "Tab.
7", pg. 15).
■ Do not use shorter cutting tools.
30 Maintenance E681en_02
■ Dress the cutting edge with an oil stone after regrinding.
Ø If both cutting edges are blunt, regrind the cutting tool on the
grinding face.
