General maintenance and inspection
The user is obliged to maintain and service the cutting unit in accordance with
the details in the operating instructions, and in accordance with country-
specific standards and regulations.
The maintenance intervals are classified in accordance with the recommended
frequency:
Before each use…
… visually inspect the cutting unit for damage.
… clean the profile openings.
Weekly…
… check the correct functioning of the operating lever and of the shear
blade.
… clean the contact surface and profile openings with compressed air.
… check the sturdy bearings of the stop flap.
… check the sturdy footing of the unit on the workbench.
Monthly…
… check the markings and the labels for readability and damage, and re-
place if necessary.
… coat the running surface of the eccentric lever with copious universal
grease.
… lightly grease with a brush and corrosion protection oil the blade and the
cutting unit to protect against corrosion.
… check the sharpness of the shear blade and, if necessary, replace the
blade. Increased formation of burrs on the profile is a sign of wear on the
shear plate.
