8.1. Maintenance and control
Caution! Danger of injury!
Repairs may only be carried out when the main switch is off and secured against switching on or
when the machine is cut off the mains.
The coolant tray may be taken out of the machine base for maintenance and cleaning. The pump is limited by the length of the
connecting cable and the coolant piping.
Caution: Used up coolants are special waste!
Our recommendations:
Regular cleaning and maintenance of the coolant aggregate increase the coolant pump life and
functionality. Use water-mixable coolants, if possible, not irritating the skin with high anti-ageing and anti-corrosion protection.
Check the coolant oil content at least once a week. Optimum cooling sufficiently increases the band life.
Lubrication:
Regular lubrication and cleaning increase the machine lifetime and its function. When making ordinary machine checking make sure
that frictional surfaces and vice screw are well lubricated.
Hazards due to dangerous matters cannot be excluded while handling coolants. Observe in your
own interest the manufacturer's and/or your company's instructions and recommendations
concerning safe handling of coolants.
Correct cutting angles will be achieved when the bearing surfaces for the workpiece and the jaws are free from metal chips and
other impurities.
Coolant unit cleaning
Observe the instructions and recommendations related to safe disposal of service waste.
For maintaining the efficiency of the machine and its components it is unconditionally necessary to carry out the maintenance of the
machine which includes: machine cleaning • metal chips removing • coolant exchange • lubrication of sliding and guiding surfaces •
checking of connecting cables for damage • vice control
Checking of Protective Covers
Check the protective covers of the machine for damage and failures in regular intervals (at least once a week).
Checking of Connecting Cables
Check the connecting cables for intactness in regular intervals - at least once a week.
Machine Cleaning
Clean the machine thoroughly in regular intervals (at least once a week). Use appropriate cleaning agents. Do not use solvents (e.g.
nitrosolvent) for machine cleaning. Do not use compressed air for machine cleaning! Otherwise the fine chips and impurities will
penetrate under the sliding elements.
Chips removal / liquidation.
Caution! Danger of injury
Carry out maintenance only with the main switch off or with the machine cut off the mains.
