General instructions for use

The CIM toolholder system is designed for a fast and simple way of achieving correct indexing of Tiny Tools inside
the machine.

Following is a recommended procedure for the first use:
1. Adjust the rear stopper screw according the tool required over-hang.
Insert the Tiny Tool into the collet and push it gently until it passes the internal indexing mechanism.
Adjust the rear stopper screw according the required overhang (do not set the final tool orientation).
That procedure should be done only once and outside the machine.

2. Remove the Tiny Tool from the CIM toolholder and mount the holder on the machine.
Clamp it well and it is ready to use. At that point the clamping nut should be screwed on the toolholder collet
by hand and remain open.

3. Insert the Tiny Tool into the CIM collet and push it inside gently until you will hear a click.
Rotate the tool by hand clock wise and counter clock wise until you hear a click and the indexing mechanism
set the tool to center.
4. Close the nut by the wrench key.

In that point the tool is ready to use.
For a tool replacement, open the collet with the wrench key, replace the tool, close the collet and continue
working.
