Blum Minipress 130
« on: January 15, 2014, 10:07 AM »
I picked up at a door shop closing, a Blum Minipress 130 but no manual was available.  Doing an web search, I see lots of images but no owners manual.  Anybody on either side of the ponds have a .pdf of this unit that you are willing to share.

Thanks in advance.

David.

First three at least appear to be manuals. Not sure whether these match your particular model, but it may be that they're referenced in a different way.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Garry

But no they are "newer" and the changes are enough that they don't address what I need.  Figures!!!!

I'll keep looking, and now that the world is looking as well, somewhere it will show...

No problem.

Have you tried an email to Blum?

the third file down on this Blum page is called Minipress old. Maybe it is it.

Thanks.... Close by no cigar!

I think I'll try Blum like Garry suggests...  If I can't find the manual, what will it be like to get spare parts?..

I had an old  machine like yours that I picked up used and came with out a manual. I called Blum and gave them the serial # and was asked where the power switch was located, it was in the front like yours, I  was told that the machine was unsafe. Apparently Blum had gone around the shops and retrofitted safety upgrades but was no longer doing this, instead would exchange my old machine with a new one. They had someone drive from N. Carolina to my shop in S.E. Pa., pick up machine, drive back to N. Carolina to inspect machine and than back to my shop with new machine in one day.
What a great company, like Festool they stand behind their products!
