6. Maintenance and Cleaning
6.1. Maintenance
When used correctly and with care in accordance with the operating
instructions, the Bona OptiSpread100 battery is maintenance-free.
6.2. Cleaning
The Bona OptiSpread 100 Battery has been factory-fitted with a PTFE
working piston. It is not permitted to use any lubricants, greases, oils or any
other similar products. The inside of the tube must only be cleaned with
compressed air or with a clean, lint-free cotton cloth or with Bona Tool
Cleaner.
The upper side of the filler tube and the outer thread are usually subjected to
most fouling as a result of fresh adhesive which deposits in small amounts on
the thread and the inside of the filler tube when replacing the tubular bag.
Such fresh adhesive fouling should be removed immediately using Bona Tool
Cleaner, since accumulation of adhesive in the thread turns or the inside of
the tube may lead to accidental adhesive bleed.
Regular cleaning of respective parts of the machine ensure enduring
functioning of the Bona OptiSpread 100 Battery and les cleaning required
when you have completed your work!
6.3. Cleaning the Adhesive Nozzle
The adhesive nozzle is designed as a non-return nozzle which can be
disposed of after you have completed your respective project. However, the
nozzle can also be used repeatedly. No specific range can be specified,
since the nozzle has a long service life on account of the hard-wearing
material and in the case of regular cleaning and correct handling.
After thorough cleaning, the nozzle can be used repeatedly. Cleaning should
be carried out as follows:
o
Dismantle the nozzle as described in item
o
Remove the side caps of the nozzle and remove any unhardened, fresh
adhesive. This can be carried out easily by using a rod or cloth pulled
through the tube.
o
Clean the inside using several Bona Tool Cleaner cloths by pulling them
through the nozzle.
o
It is easiest to remove residual adhesive in the toothing when the
adhesive has hardened. Make sure you do not damage the toothing form
by using sharp and pointed items so as to ensure lasting, even adhesive
bleed.
o
The adhesive outlet at the nozzle shoe should also be cleaned using
Bona Tool Cleaner.
