The equipment’s control
unit does not light up or the
equipment cannot be
switched on.
Check that the Emergency Stop button is not pressed down and
that the electrical outlet to which the equipment is connected is
energized.
In case of equipment power failure during use, the
equipment must be reset by pressing the Emergency Stop button
down and lifting it up. Reset the equipment as follows:
1. Release the foot pedal.
2. Turn the power switch to “1”.
3. Set the direction of rotation selector to the middle position.
4. Depress and release the Emergency Stop button.
The control panel lights
up, but the equipment
does not start.
Make sure the direction of rotation selector has been set to
Forward or Backward, the “1-0” switch has been set to “1”, and
the RPM adjustment switch is at least in the position “10”. Also,
see the explanations of the different signals of the control
panel’s two LEDs on page 13.
The above-mentioned steps
have been taken but the
equipment does not start.
Make sure that the equipment’s flexible shaft or the tool at its
end are not stuck in a pipe rupture, for example, and that about
10m of the flexible shaft have been reeled out of the equipment.
The control panel lights up
and the motor starts, but the
flexible shaft does not rotate.
Check flexible shaft attachment to the cable fastener.
The flexible shaft rotates, but
the tool at its end does not.
Check tool attachment to the flexible shaft.
The flexible shaft’s jacket
heats up intensively.
Replace the flexible shaft. The reason is lack of lubricating oil
between the flexible shaft and its protection jacket.
The flexible shaft rotates
only for a moment and
stops.
Fully extract the flexible shaft from the pipe and make sure that
nothing in the pipe prevents the shaft or the tool at its end from
rotating. The equipment’s control unit is equipped with an
electronic safety switch preventing shaft from rotating in case of
excessive resistance. This is to protect the shaft from breaking
down.
The equipment does not
operate despite the
above mentioned steps.
