STARTING & USING THE MACHINE
Before operation:
-
Before installing Picote tools, always make sure that the machine is fully turned
off and the battery charger unplugged.
-
Always round off the sharp edges of the shaft to avoid cuts and to make it easier
to insert the shaft into the tool or for a leader to be used.
-
Check that there is the correct length of flexible shaft (without its plastic casing) at the end of the flexible shaft and
that all screws have been loosened so that the shaft can be easily inserted inside the tool. Position the shaft inside
the tool, as far as it will go, and tighten the screws.
Consult accessory operating manuals (cutters & grinding chains) for detailed information.
While in operation:
Always lay the machine down horizontally on the floor. During drilling, grinding and cutting processes, always use a
separate vacuum extraction system or run water in the drain to remove dust.
This section contains important safety information. Failure to comply could result in serious injury
1.
The machine has an operator presence control or
‘
OPC
’.
When the control is not held down, the machine
stops. The machine can also be stopped by pushing the Emergency Stop Button down, rotating the power
gear to
“
O
”
or by removing the battery.
2.
Check the rotational speed of the shaft before powering up. The rotational speed control is located on the
control box. The rotational speed can be set at speed levels from 1 to 10.
3.
Place the tool inside the pipe.
4.
Turn on the power switch.
5.
Release the Red Emergency Switch Off Button.
6.
The machine starts when the OPC foot pedal is pressed down. Always hold the flexible shaft with both
hands firmly while operating the machine.
7.
Rotating the tool slowly makes it easier to move the tool forward inside the pipe.
8.
The lifespan of the shaft outer casing can be prolonged by using a Sleeve Bearing designed for the outer
casing.
There is an electrical safety clutch in the Battery Mini Cleaner and Battery Mini CC. If the machine is
overloaded the safety clutch stops the motor. The user will notice a
“
flashing
”
red light when the motor is be-
coming overloaded. The light turns solid when the clutch engages. Release the foot pedal, pull the shaft back a
little bit and continue working.
