MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS:
Periodic maintenance is required to keep this system operating properly, most critical of which is gun maintenance, described below. System
maintenance is controlled by internal firmware cut cycle counters that shut down the system for maintenance once a maintenance cycle is reached.
Once the predetermined cut cycles are reached operator intervention is required to perform maintenance and reset the counters.
Gun Maintenance:
BG/CG GUNS ONLY: Properly setting and maintaining the Ground Pin is critical to proper e•drill
operation. Failure to properly set and maintain the Ground Pin will cause poor e•drill performance
and cutting results, and will potentially damage the system.
BG/CG GUNS ONLY: DAILY the condition of the end of the Ground Pin and its protrusion should be checked with
the Ground Pin Setting Tool (P/N EDT0102) provided with the system. The ground pin is extremely fragile and an
electrode should be attached at all times to protect the ground pin. The ground pin should not be bent and should be
central inside the electrode, and it should still have its protective plastic sleeve intact. Adjust as necessary and dress
with the abrasive pad located on the setting tool if the tip is fouled. Consult the User’s Guide for further details.
ALL GUNS: Check Cable, Strain Relief and Case for damage. Check for water leaks out of Case. Check
Electrode is tight. When cutting steel fasteners: At the end of a work session the tip of the gun should be
dried, and if it has been used on a highly corrosive fastener material such as alloy steel, then the inside of
the tip area should be lightly sprayed with a lubricant such as WD40.
Ground Pin Replacement:
BG/CG GUNS ONLY: If the ground pin is maintained as above, and fastener heads are cleaned before attempting to
cut, ground pin replacement is only necessary after several thousand cut operations.
Refer to the User Guide - Ground Pin Replacement section for detailed instruction on replacing the Ground Pin.
System Maintenance Screen:
System maintenance functions are accessed through the System Maintenance Screen. Touching an LED button will
turn the button green (on) and activating the function. Retouching the button will turn the function off and the button
back to red (off). The Tank Full and Tank Empty LED’s display system water level status in the Sediment Tank and
turn on and off automatically as the system is serviced.
DI water system maintenance:
The DI water system requires periodic filling or “Top Off” to replace small amounts of DI water used in the cutting
cycle. The system will indicate when that is necessary. To “Top Off”, Immerse the tip of the e

(do not submerge
the entire drill, only the Adapter Tip should be submerged).Touch the Top Off function. At the completion of the Top
Off cycle the Tank Full LED button will illuminate green when the system is full and the pump will turn off
automatically.
The system will also indicate when the sediment tank should be emptied or the filter replaced. Consult the Users
Guide for the relevant procedures.
