Maintenance
4.1
Cleaning
Before commencing any maintenance work disconnect the electrical power
supply by pulling out the plug!
Remove any oil and dirt from the shearing plant by means of a dry cloth. Do
not use liquids!
4.2
Service
WARNING!
For safety reasons the portable shearing plant should be sub-
jected to an annual inspection. It is important that the self-tensi-
oning belt is checked periodically, since the functionality of the
patented safety cutout device is dependent on this.
4.3
Lubrication
Lubricate the machine in accordance with the following specifications, sin-
ce a lack of lubrication is the most common source of faults for unsatisfac-
tory shearing results.
4.3.1
Portable shearing plant
Requires no lubrication.
4.3.2 Flexible drive
prior to each period of operation
Oil the flexible drive prior to use, and at least each time the cutters are re-
placed (Diag. 7, pos. a).
after 100 hours of operation
The flexible drive is fitted with sealed and permanently lubricated ball bea-
rings. The rotating shaft bore must, however, be greased at regular intervals
(after approximately 100 hours of operation or every 2 years). To perform
this task dismantle the flexible drive in order to remove old grease residue
from the shaft bore. Then re-lubricate the shaft bore along its whole length
with fresh, high-quality mineral grease.
4.3.3 Rigid drive downtube
The rigid drive downtube is fitted with sealed and permanently lubricated
ball bearings. The rotating cogs of the universal joint must, however, be
lubricated at regular intervals during use (approximately every 2 operating
hours). Lubricate the shaft at the lubrication points provided in accordance
with Diag. 7, pos. b. Only high quality mineral oil is to be used for this pur-
pose (engine or gearbox oil).
4.3.4 Shearing handpiece
See operating instructions for shearing handpiece.
