1. Safety
1.1 General safety rules
Read the Operator's Manual and the general safety rules
(Material number 1239438, red document) in their entirety
before starting up the machine. Follow precisely the directions
contained therein.
Read the Operator's Manual and the safety instructions
(Material number 125699, red document) in their entirety
before starting up the machine. Follow precisely the directions
contained therein.
The safety regulations according to DIN VDE, CEE, AFNOR
and other regulations which are valid in individual countries
should be adhered to.
Danger
Lethal danger due to electric shock!
Remove the plug from the plug socket before undertaking any
maintenance work on the machine.
Check the plug, the cable and the machine for damage each
time before the appliance is used.
Keep the machine dry and do not operate in damp rooms.
When using the electric tool outside, connect the fault current
(FI) protective switch with a maximum breaking current of
30 mA.
Warning
Danger of injury possible due to improper handling!
When working with the machine, wear safety glasses, hearing
protection, protective gloves and work shoes.
Do not plug in the plug unless the machine has been
switched off. Pull out the mains plug after use.
Warning
Risk of injury to the hands!
Do not place your hand into the processing line.
Use both hands to hold the machine.

Caution
Damage to property possible due to improper handling!
The machine will be damaged or destroyed.
Do not use the power cord to carry the machine.
Always guide the electric cord away from the back of the
machine and do not pull it across sharp edges.
Arrange for start-ups and checks on manual electric tools to
be carried out by a trained specialist. Only used the original
accessories provided by TRUMPF.
Warning
Risk of injury from high-temperature chips!
High-temperature chips are expelled from the chip ejector at
high speed.
Use a swarf box.
Warning
Risk of injury from falling machinery!
The entire weight of the machine must be taken up after
processing of the work workpiece.
Use suspension bracket with balancer.
Use suspension cable.
Caution
Damage to property possible due to improper handling!
Collisions could result from an erroneous setting of the
machine.
Turn the screw (15) one full clockwise rotation using the Allen
key provided. If no collisions can be detected, remove the
Allen key and put the machine into operation in accordance
with regulations (see Fig. 13092, Pg. 5).
1.2 Specific safety rules
Ensure the tool is connected to a circuit protected with a time delay
fuse (15 A min.).

2.1 Correct use
Warning
Risk of injury!
For processing and materials, only use machines which are
named in "Correct use".
The TRUMPF bevelling machine TKF 1500-0 is an electric hand
tool used for:
• Preparation of all of the K-, V-, X- and Y-shaped welding
grooves usual for gas and electrical fusion welding with various
continuously-adjustable angles of bevel and continuously-
adjustable lengths of bevels.
• Forming of uniform, oxide-free, bright metallic welding bevel
edges in steel and aluminium.
• Machining of chromium steel and similar high-tensile materials
(recommendation: machine in 2-gear version).
• Bevelling of straight and curved edges insofar as the minimum
radius with inner curves is at least 55 mm.
• Bevelling of edges on flat and crooked workpieces, particularly
in connection with tubes when the inside diameter is at least
100 mm in size.
• Bevelling of edges in both directions, whereby the bevelling
can begin and end at any give point on 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 underneath the
machine) and in "upside-down position" (carrier above the
machine), which is particularly advantageous with the bevelling
of X- and K-welding grooves.

Note
The angle of bevel "ß" is continuously adjustable between 20° and
45° with the use of the standard stripper (24).
1. Loosen the screws (61) (on both sides).
2. Set the desired angle in accordance with the scale.
3. Retighten the screws (61).
Fig. 38120
E226EN_08.DOC Tool assembly 13
Note
Angles of bevel between 20° and 55° can be achieved with the
help of a special stripper (Material No. 032119). In such cases, the
stripper (24) is to be replaced prior to setting the desired angle of
bevel "ß".
3.3 Setting the sheet thickness
Caution
Damage to property as a result of defective cap screws!
Longer cap screws are utilised with spacers for greater sheet
thicknesses. These screws are subject to great stress.
When replacing spacers, inspect the cap screws and replace
them with new original screws when they show signs of wear.
Converting the machine for processing sheet thicknesses
> 40 mm
For maximum sheet thicknesses use a spacer and a longer screw
(49).
Spacer and cap screw Sheet thickness range

40-80 mm
M16x130-12.9 DIN 912

80-120 mm
M16x170-12.9 DIN 912
(Material No. 027799)
120-160 mm
1. Place machine on the sheet (work position).
2. Loosen clamping screw (23).
3. Adjust the rest plate (43) to match the sheet thickness using
the spindle (37). Allow for 0.5 to 1 mm of play when doing so.
4. Lock the spindle (37) into place with the clamping screw (23).
5. Remove swarf box.
6. Loosen cap screw (49) and unscrew it.
7. Remove supporting arm (36) with spindle (37) and clamping
plate (50).
8. Put the respective spacer into place at the bottom side of the
pressure die (28) with the smooth end between the side plates.
Table 3
14 Tool assembly E226EN_08.DOC
9. Place supporting arm (36) on the centring pin of the spacer.
Put on the clamping plate (50), screw in the associated cap
screw.
10. Align the individual parts before tightening. The play between
the rest plate (43), the spindle (37) and the pressure die (28)
should be approximately 0.1 mm.
11. Tighten the cap screw (49) with a moment of 250 Nm.

Adjust the height of the cutting tool in such a way that it protrudes
approximately 1 mm (min. 0, max. 3 mm) out of the sliding
sleeve (22).
1. Rotate the eccentric shaft (15) until the cutting tool (1) has
achieved its highest point (UDP = upper dead point).
2. Loosen clamping screw (7).
3. Rotate the carrier (20) by 360° as often as needed until the
cutting tools protrudes 0-3 mm out of the sliding sleeve (22).
One rotation (360°) corresponds to a height adjustment of
1.75 mm.
4. Retighten clamping screw (7).
