Servicing and care
Warning
Before starting any servicing or repair work always disconnect the mains plug.
After all repairs you must have the core drilling machine inspected by an electri-
cian (statutory regulation pursuant to VBG4 since 1.1.1990).
7.1
Daily care
Ensure that no water escapes from the overflow hole. This will cause gear damage and may reduce the
electrical safety of the core drilling machine. In this case please contact an authorised service centre.
Inspection the machine for signs of damage to the switch, mains lead or plug connector.
After completing the drilling work clean the core drilling machine. Grease the core bit mounting thread. The
ventilation slits must be kept clean and open at all times. Ensure that no water gets into the core drilling
machine whilst you are cleaning it.
To ensure that the sealing function is maintained, oil the drill spindle:
-
Disconnect the core drilling machine from the water supply. Open the water connection shut-off
cock and insert a drop of oil, close the shut-off cock, place a few drops of oil into the overflow hole
and turn the machine briefly by hand.
7.2
After approx. 150 hours of use
After the first 150 hours of use, the gearbox oil must be changed.
7.3
After approx. 250 hours of use
Have the carbon brushes checked, and replaced if necessary, by an electrician.
-
Remove the screws (37). Pull the cap (35) off the motor casing (2). Remove the carbon
brushes screws (10), raise the carbon brushes retaining springs and take out the carbon
brushes (8). Clean the carbon brush holder and collector with a paintbrush.
-
Fit new carbon brushes following the above instructions in reverse. Position the cap (35) and
secure it with the screws (37). Fit the cap (35) on the motor casing (2) by tapping it gently with
a rubber mallet or the like. Tighten the screws (37). Release the stress by tapping the cap (35)
twice.
Avoid adjusting the carbon retaining springs.
