GREASING
To preserve the mechanics, we recommend greasing the slotter every 10 hours of use, meaning actual use (see example of calculation for
greasing). We recommend using Castrol Tribol™ GR 100 PD Range or Mobil Mobilux EP 1. Proceed as follows in order to introduce the right
amount of grease:
•
Loosen the Cap Bolt on the motorized cover
•
Start introducing the greasing using the special grease nipples
•
Stop the introduction of grease when it comes out from the hole
•
Tighten the Cap Bolt back on and start using the tool again.
•
Example of calculation for greasing: If 2 minutes are required to produce one piece and 10 seconds are needed to make just the keyway
for a feather key, grease after about 3600 pieces.
REBUILD
After a long period of use (about 1,000 hours), maintenance will need to be
performed on the slotter, replacing the parts subject to wear such as bearings,
gaskets, etc.
To keep your Motorized Slotter working at maximum efficiency, we give you the
option of using our DIY Rebuild Kit or send us your equipment to repair at our
facility.

Motorized Slotter
MAINTENANCE
ADJUSTABLE GIB SCREWS
After using the slotter for a long time, it will be necessary to eliminate the potential play created in the tool. Do this by unscrewing the
hexagonal nut, tightening the center screw and then screwing the hexagonal nut back on. Repeat this operation on all four gibs of the
slotter. Do not over tighten the screws and hinder longitudinal movement. Adjustment is only to remove any lateral play.
