7 Maintenance
This chapter contains important information about maintenance of the system.
Proper maintenance and the proper operation of the corresponding supply units – in
this case the extraction system – are basic requirements for a smooth function of the
system.
Maintenance has to be performed and documented regularly according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
The system is designed for a service life of 10 years used in one-shift operation (10
hours a day). The specified maintenance intervals are valid for one-shift operation at 5
days a week.
7.1 Safety
Follow the safety instructions below for your own protection and for the protection of
other persons in the vicinity of the maintenance work. The maintenance personnel
must ensure that the described prerequisites for the planned maintenance tasks are
fulfilled and they must observe the special warning messages for the individual
maintenance tasks.
Contact the LPKF Service for maintenance or repair tasks that go beyond the tasks
described in the maintenance schedule for the maintenance personnel of the operator.
Danger to life by electrical shock!
Touching energized parts causes a direct danger to life by electrical shock. Damage
to the insulation or damaged individual parts can be dangerous to life.
Use only the mains cable included in the delivery or a mains cable approved by
LPKF.
All work on energized components of the system must be performed by a
qualified electrician.
If the insulation is damaged, switch off the power supply immediately and
initiate the repair.
De-energize all energized components of the system or equipment, before
working with them. Ensure that the system or equipment is de-energized for the
whole time of the task.
Never bridge or deactivate fuses.
Always keep moisture away from energized parts because it can cause a short
circuit.
Health hazard by insufficient filtration!
Filters cannot be cleaned or reused. If you are using saturated, defective or no
filters at all, filtration of particles that can be harmful to health is not guaranteed.
Only operate the system with installed and working filters.
Observe the recommended maintenance intervals and replace the filters in
time.
Dispose of the saturated filters properly. Observe the local disposal regulations.
