MAINTENANCE
Before starting maintenance or repair work, always disconnect the machine from the mains supply. Turn off the
machine and remove the plug from the power socket.
It is necessary to ensure the V-belts are always kept tight.
The machine should be cleaned regularly. The rods, pins, threads and other parts liable to be rusty should be
lubricated with suitable oil. The interval for such maintenance will depend on the manner of work the machine is being
used for, but it should be performed at least once a month.
The bearings of the electrical motors and moulding spindle have permanent grease filling, are closed on both sides
and do not require any lubrication.
Avoid contamination of belts with oil or grease. If this occurs, clean the belt with paper only, or dry it.
Removing the dust is best done with a vacuum cleaner. Perform this activity regularly, at least once a week.
TROUBLESHOOTING
No faults should occur while the machine is used correctly and maintained duly. If the extraction hose is blocked with
chips, the machine should be switched off before handling. If a workpiece becomes jammed, turn the machine off
immediately. A blunt knofe often causes the electric motor to overheat. If the machine vibrates excessively, check its
setting and anchoring, possibly also clamping and balancing of the tools used.
