Getting started
Preparations before commencing work.
Certain preparations must be done before starting work.
Cleaning:
The machine should be carefully cleaned and all functions checked and
are found normal before use of the machine.
Tools:
Use only those tools that are intended to be used to operate the
machine: For the Pentruder 6-12
HF a special 3/8” – 8 mm socket
is required.
Any 3/8” ratchet can be used that
is not thicker than 54 mm (socket
included). We offer a ratchet with
Part No 65300200 Ratchet 3/8" 6 -
12 HF. You’ll also need 65353800
Allen socket 3/8" 8mm 6 - 12HF.
There is also the toolkit which
suits all the Pentruder machines and consists of the following: Ratchet
1/2" Kamasa, Socket 1/2" - 19 mm, Allen socket 1/2" 8mm x 90 and T-
key 8mm x 100.
A torque wrench is needed for tightening the centre bolt on the blade
flange and for tightening the clamp screw that clamps the blade flange to
the machine.
Quick disconnects:
Check the HF motor quick disconnect coupling for correct function and
cleanliness. Grease coupling screw threads once per week.
Guide rollers:
Check that the guide rollers on the saw head can move freely without too
much friction. A certain amount of friction is always present as the
bearings are double sealed with both rubber and steel scraper seals.
Replace bearings and shields when worn or if rollers don’t run freely.
Remote Control unit:
Check the remote control unit for correct function and that the Cannon
connector is clean and undamaged.
Water feed:
Check that the machine can be supplied with clean cold water, minimum
4 L / minute (1 GPM).
Power cords:
Check that all cords are undamaged and in faultless condition.
Power supply:
Check if sufficient power is available on the site. The machine must be
connected to a 380 – 480 V 3-phase supply with minimum 16 Amp fuses.
We recommend to use a 40 Amp fuse if possible. With 16 Amp fuse the
power output must be reduced by turning the feed rate knob on the
remote control.
