Usage Features
Operation Penal: The control panel features a Stop button, Power socket, Forward / Reverse switch, Speed adjustment knob, Foot switch, and Power cord.
Installation / Operation:
- Power Cord: Connect to a 100V~240VAC single-phase power supply.
- Power Switch (SW1): "I" for On, "O" for Off.
- Forward / Reverse Switch (SW2): Selects the direction of rotation.
- Stop Button: Press to pause all motion and disable control. Rotate clockwise to reset.
- Speed Adjustment Knob (VR1): Rotate clockwise to increase speed, counter-clockwise to decrease speed.
- Foot Switch (F.S): An alternative type switch. Press once to activate the roller, press a second time to stop it.
- Fuse Holder (Fuse): Provides overload protection.
Main Wheel Adjustment Procedure:
- Step 1: Start the machine and adjust the speed to 50%.
- Step 2: Use a 17mm wrench to adjust the nut in a clockwise direction until the PU roller moves.
- Step 3: Press the rollers with approximately 20-30 kg pressure and check for any slip on the PU rollers.
Maintenance Features
Electrical Safety:
- Ensure the counter, safety device against excess current, and electrical installation are compatible with the machine's maximum power and main voltage.
- The connection (single-phase or three-phase) must be compatible with the cable link's plug.
- The earth connection must never be cut by the protection device against electrical shocks.
- Avoid contact between metal parts and phase/neutral conductors.
- Ensure electrical connections of different machines are properly earthed.
- Before control or repair, switch off and insulate the apparatus.
- Only qualified persons are authorized for electrical installation interventions.
General Maintenance:
- Regularly check the insulation and good condition of apparatus and electrical accessories (taps, cords, coatings, switches, extension cords).
- Maintenance and repair of insulating coatings are crucial.
- Defective accessories should be repaired by a specialist or replaced.
- Regularly check the adjustment and non-heating of electrical connections.
Individual Safety:
- Operators must wear appropriate protective clothing and gear.
- Avoid contacting connected or accidentally connected metal parts.
- Wear leather gloves with gauntlet.
- Safety clothes, gloves, apron, and safety shoes protect against burns, projections, and slag.
Gases and Fumes:
- Gases and fumes from plasma cutting or welding are hazardous.
- Ensure adequate ventilation to remove fumes from the breathing area.
- Use an air-supplied respirator if ventilation is insufficient.
Fire Safety:
- Oil or grease with oxygen can ignite violently. Keep cylinders, valves, couplings, regulators, hoses, and apparatus clean and free from oil and grease.
- Do not handle oxygen cylinders with oily hands or gloves.
- Do not allow oxygen to contact oily or greasy surfaces.
- Do not use oxygen as a substitute for compressed air.
- Remove combustibles from the work area or provide a fire watch.
- Do not cut containers that have held combustibles. Remove all flammable materials that could be ignited by sparks.
Noise:
- Noise can cause permanent hearing loss.
- Wear proper protective ear muffs or plugs.
- Ensure others in the operating area are protected from noise.
