SECTION 4 STARTING – A TRY
After studying the manual and the operation of the moulder we can start the moulder as follows
1. Check that the cutter heads and knives are firmly and corretly in place
2. Check that all guards are in place
3. Check that the pressure rollers and guides are correctly aligned
4. Switch the Master Switch ON
5. Check the rotation direction of the cutting heads and feed rollers by starting each operation
individually (The rotation direction of the tools must be opposite to the feed direction and the
same as the direction of the arrows located on the machine tool.).
6. If the rotations is incorrect, isolate the moulder by use of the Master Switch and change
phases on the supply terminals
7. Once all the heads and feed are operating correctly, start all the functions and leave the
moulder to run for about one hour without and load
8. While the moulder is running check for any noise or vibration that may indicate a possible fail-
ure
9. Stop the moulder and check the bearing temperatures. They should not exceed ambient
+50 C.
10. Check for any loosening or misalignment and adjust as necessary
After performing all of the above checks and operations you may now start to use the moulder.
