Visually check the machine for damage.
The machine must be checked before operation for any signs of damage that will affect the
operation of the machine. Particular notice must be taken to the mains cable, if the machine
appears to be damaged it should not be used, failure to do so may cause injury or death.
Check operation of the machine.
The machines operation must be checked to ensure that all components are working correctly.
Machine Brushes
- should be checked to make sure there is no abnormal wear present (this
should be checked at least once a week if used frequently). If the brush has worn more than 2/3
the original length the brushes should be changed. Failure to do so may cause damage to the
machine.
Magnetic base
–
before every operation the magnetic base should be checked to make sure
that the base is flat and there is no damage present. An uneven magnet base will cause the
magnet not to hold as efficiently and may cause injury to the operator.
Check machines grease.
The gearbox grease should be checked once a month to ensure all moving components are
covered to prevent wear. The grease should be changed at least once a year to ensure you gain
the best from your machine.
Check Armature of the machine.
This should be checked at least once a month to check that there are no visual signs of damage
to the body or to the commutator. Some signs of wear will be seen on the commutator over a
period of time, but this is normal (this is the part that comes into contact with the brushes)
however, if there are any signs of abnormal damage the part should be replaced.
