Maintenance safety
a)
Pull out the main plug before starting inspections and repairing on the machine. The main switch can be
locked in the “OFF” position by using a padlock and placing it through the main switch.
b)
Wait for standstill of all drives before any inspections, adjustments and/or maintenance work is started.
c)
Block machine in stable position before doing any maintenance work.
d)
Failures due to inadequate or incorrect maintenance may generate very
high repair costs
and long
standstill periods of the machine.
Regular
maintenance therefore is imperative.
e)
Operational safety and service life of the machine depends, among other things, on proper maintenance.
f)
Prevent premature wear by keeping the machine as dust free as possible. Clean the machine for this
reason regularly with a dust collector and non-aggressive materials, Never use a high pressure water
cleaner to clean the machine.
g)
Do not use any
aggressive
cleaning materials!
h)
Use lint-free
cleaning cloths
!
i)
It is advisable to stock all spare parts or wear parts that cannot be supplied quickly. As a rule, production
standstill periods are more expensive than the cost for the corresponding spare part.
j)
The suitable precautions include decontamination before disassembling the machine, adequate filtered
ventilation of the exhaust air from the room in which it is disassembled, cleaning of the maintenance area
and suitable personal protection equipment.
3.7
Dust collector safety by the machine
a)
Always use a Blastrac dust collector to ensure a dust-free operation of the machine and clean air at the
workspace. Also the airflow helps to cool the machine and prevents overheating.
b)
Read the operating instructions of the dust collector before using it.
c)
The dust container/bag of the dust collector must be emptied regularly. Comply with the local waste
treatment regulations considering the removed material.
d)
The dust hose must be connected properly with a hose clamp and industrial tape.
e)
The dust hose must be undamaged and free of obstructions.
f)
Always switch on the dust collector first!
3.8
Transport safety
a)
Be aware of your surroundings and machine operating level.
b)
The weight of the 900-VMB is 880 kg (without shot, hoses etc.) When transporting the machine with a
crane or lift, use the lifting eyes of the machine.
c)
Before every use check the lifting eyes/lugs and welds for:
deformation, damages, cracks, corrosion and wear.
d)
Each lifting lug has a WLL of 1500kg.
e)
When lifting the machine from the ground, always use the lowest lifting speed. The cables must first be
tensioned at this speed; they must not be slack when the machine is lifted from the ground.
f)
During hoisting make sure to be at a safe distance from the machine with the most optimal view on the
machine and working environment.
g)
Never stand directly below the machine.
h)
When transporting the machine do so in such a manner that damage due to the effects of the use of force
or incorrect loading and unloading is avoided.
i)
The lifting eyes/lugs can also be used to fasten the machine on a pallet or during transport.
j)
Don’t leave the machine unsecured on jobsites.
k)
Park the machine always on a flat horizontal and levelled surface.
l)
Remove the abrasive from the machine before transport.
m)
Make sure the electrical cable and dust hose are disconnected before transport.
n)
Store the cleaned and dry machine in a humid free room. Protect the electrical motor from moisture, heat
dust and shocks.
o)
Never use the machine for lifting persons or items.
p)
Only lift the machine as shown in the picture below.
