4 Maintenance and repair
4.1 Cleaning and transportation
After each use, clean the outside of the MICROlight. Do not use high-pressure cleaning
equipment.
The MICROlight must be transported in the associated rack.
The air motor must be dismantled, cleaned (without oil or grease, only with Ballistol) at
regular intervals (recommendation: weekly) and stored in a dry location.
Dismantling, see 5.2.2 Disassemble and reassemble air motor.
Reassemble the air motor at the latest before starting the next cutting work.
The motor should not remain mounted for lengthy periods as water in the hose line can
cause corrosion, which, in turn, can destroy the bearings.
4.2 Care and maintenance
Regular visual inspections of the media feed lines to the MICROlight and the hose package
are mandatory. Damaged or kinked hoses lead to admission of water into the cutter and thus
to damage of electrical components as well as corrosion of mechanical parts.
Faulty media supply lines or hose assemblies must be replaced. Provisional repairs of such
faults by simply using insulating tape or similar affects the operational safety and is not
permitted.
The oil-free cutter operation leads to wear on ball bearings and air motor discs. These are
available from the manufacturer and can be replaced by the operator (see 5.2.2 Disassemble
and reassemble air motor). Wear can be detected by an increase in axial bearing play, the
air motor “getting stuck” when being switched on, reduced cutting performance or by scrape
marks on the motor housing.
This maintenance work must be performed regularly and is not covered by the
manufacturer’s product warranty.
The air feed-through in the reel hub is maintenance free.
