LM410
LOG HOUSE MOULDER
Risk of serious injury if maintenance is neglected.
The LM410 is easy to maintain since most of the
machine structure is protected against rust. All
cutter bearings and the motor are maintenance free.
Necessary maintenance is set out below.
Ensure that the power is disconnected before
opening the hatch for the cutter or removing any
protective covers.
Tip: Compressed air can be very useful for blowing
the machine clean each time you open the hatch.
Use ear protection and safety goggles.
When the machine is being used
- Clean the machine from wood debris each time it
has been used. Especially ensure that wood debris
has not accumulated on the motor or in the cooling
fan of the motor. This can interfere with the cooling
of the motor and lead to a motor breakdown or, at
worst, fire.
After each working session
- Clean the machine from loose wood debris and
dust with a soft brush or compressed air (in that
case use ear protection and safety goggles). Also
check chip chutes and chip hoses.
- Cleaning and rust protection with Universal
Oil 9999-000-5105: Dried sap and resin can be
removed with universal oil. Also spray a thin layer
on the cutter head, the knives and the ball bearings
of the wheel suspension as a rust protective
measure. Avoid getting large amounts of oil on
the belt transmission. When changing knives or
remounting knives, the knife slot in the cutter head,
the knife gibs and the knives should be cleaned very
thoroughly. The slightest trace of wood debris on
the contact surfaces of the knife can lead to total
breakdown and risk of personal injury as the knife
breaks.
- Lubrication points for Silicone, Ref. no: 9999-000-
5110: The power inlet on the machine and the plug
on the power cable. Lubricate all plastic parts and
cables when cleaning the machine.
- Lubrication points for Super Flo, Ref. no:9999-000-
5115: The transmission chain, the sprockets and
the trapezoidal threaded bars. Super Flo is a dry,
non-adhesive lubricant. Do not use ordinary oil on
the trapezoidal threaded bars, since it makes wood
debris and dust stick to them.
- Check the safety switch on the hatch:
Disconnect the power and make sure that the safety
switch on the cutter-head hatch works. The switch
is to be clean and its button easy to move. (It should
not be possible to start the machine when the hatch
is open.)
If the machine is not being used during
a long period of time
- Disconnect the power.
- Clean the entire machine extra carfully, and
perform the same maintenance as after each
working session. Do not forget the lubrication
points.
- Remove knives and knife gibs/chip breakers. Keep
these well lubricated and at room temperature.
- Place the machine so that it is not in contact with
the ground. Cover the machine with a tarpaulin.
Before starting the machine after a
longer period of staorage
Condensation can accumulate in the motor and in
the control panel if the machine has been stored in
a cold room for a longer period of time. The motor
has a drain plug on its underside. Open the plug and
empty out any water. Open the control panel and
dry up accumulated water.
The chain transmission should run easily! In the photo
you can also see the chain tensioner.
