17 Cleaning and maintenance
CAUTION
When cleaning and servicing the milling unit, always wear protective work
clothing, protective gloves, safety footwear, respiratory protection and safety
goggles.
CAUTION
Cleaning with compressed air is prohibited, because fine dust can penetrate
the machine mechanism and damage or destroy it.
Regular cleaning and maintenance of the milling unit increases the service
life on individual parts and prevents malfunctions.
Cleaning and daily maintenance is to be performed by a trained milling unit
user. Annual maintenance can only be performed by a Planmeca authorised
service technician.
Automatic cleaning programs can be used to make daily cleaning
procedures easier. They can be started from the
Cleaning and maintenance
view in Control software (select Settings > Cleaning and maintenance).
Note, however, that automatic cleaning programs do not replace or eliminate
the need for manual cleaning.
