Only perform servicing work after receiving thorough
instruction or training and in accordance with this operating
manual.
Wherever possible only have any necessary repair work carried
out by Hettich FurnTech GmbH & Co. KG.
Only perform inspection / servicing work after shutting the
machine down and making it safe.
Turn off the master or mains switch and make sure it cannot
move from the OFF position.
Never perform any necessary setting, set-up or servicing work
by yourself when the machine is running.
Note!
We expressly point out that it is not permitted to carry
out any form of welding work on this machine.
Immediately refit any removed mechanical or electrical
guards or safety components after completing servicing work.
Operation is not permissible with guards or safety
components removed, deactivated or bypassed.
Danger!
This could result in damage to property.
Using normal tools and applying the prescribed levels of
torque, immediately retighten any loose screw connections
that are noticed during inspections / servicing work.
Ensure utmost cleanliness during all work. Dirt will result in
malfunctions and damage to property.

18. Cleaning

• Only clean the machine by suction, never by blowing it
clean with compressed air.
• Only wipe away lubricant residue with a dry cloth.
• Only use approved cleaning agents for washing out
components that are oiled up or contain grease.
• While cleaning, check the components of the machine and
electrical system for externally visible damage.
• Immediately take steps to rectify any defects / damage
noticed while cleaning the machine.
• Follow the information on replacement parts, replacement
substances etc.
• Pay attention to the package labelling and safety data
sheet for all chemical substances (cleaning agents and
similar products). Request this sheet from the substance
manufacturer.
• Never coat rubber or plastic parts with oils, solvents,
cleaning agents or any other chemical substances.
• Do not use any aggressive, highly flammable or health-
threatening solvents, cleaning agents or any substances
that contain dangerous solvents for cleaning the machine,
components and items of equipment.

19. Compressed air

Note:
Switch off the power supply
Caution!
The entire compressed-air system must always be
depressurised.
• Clean the machine, at least the work area, in the prescribed
manner.
• Regularly check all compressed-air lines, hoses and screw
connections for leaks and externally visible damage.
• Carefully detach hoses. Escaping compressed air may swirl
up dust.
• Protect air connections to prevent them from getting dirty.
• Never mix up connections, plugs or switches. This will
inevitably result in malfunctions

20. Electrical work

Work on the electrical equipment must only ever be
performed by a qualified electrician.
• Before attempting any work on the electrical equipment
or in the immediate vicinity of live electrical operating
equipment, instruct a qualified electrician to isolate and
reliably disconnect the machine from the power supply and
earth it.
• Before attempting any work on electric drives, devices and
operating equipment always make sure they are dead.
Danger!
When operating electric devices or after connecting
them to the power supply, specific parts of devices or
operating equipment automatically carry a dangerously
high level of voltage.
Always immediately instruct a qualified electrician to replace
damaged and worn-through cables as well as loose or
unsealed cable connections on the machine.
Only use genuine replacement fuses of the prescribed
amperage. Instruct a qualified electrician to check the
electrical equipment if fuses frequently blow.
• Unauthorised persons must be prevented from entering the
work area while these measures are being carried out.
• Failure to observe the safety provisions or DIN, EN or
VDE regulations and / or lacking specialised knowledge
may result in serious damage and / or material damage
when touching or working on electrical devices/operating
equipment.

21. Repairs

Any repairs to the mechanical components demand a high
level of specialised knowledge and experience.
Wherever possible only have any necessary repair work carried
out by Hettich FurnTech GmbH & Co. KG.
Note!
It is not permissible to make alterations or
attachments / modifications to the machine if they
affect the way in which the machine works or its
active / passive safety.
Only carry out repairs to the machine if you possess the
relevant specialised knowledge and follow the instructions in
this operating manual.
To satisfy safety requirements, always restore the original,
safe state at the place of use.
When performing any work only use sound tools in a way that
satisfies safety requirements and reflects the usual code of
practice.

22. Replacement parts

Replacement parts, items of equipment or replacement
substances not tested and approved by Hettich FurnTech
GmbH & Co. KG may jeopardise the machine's active and
passive safety. Replacement parts must only be fitted by
qualified persons from Hettich FurnTech GmbH & Co. KG.
Danger!
Worn or damaged components affect safety and must
be replaced immediately.
Only use genuine replacement parts. Non-genuine parts
may not withstand the prevailing levels of stress and strain
and may not provide the required level of safety. The risk
of accidents may be increased as a result of inappropriate
specifications, poor quality, incompatibility etc. Any risk from
non-genuine parts or items of equipment shall be borne solely
by the owner.

23. Guards / safety components

Only put the machine into operation with properly
functioning guards and safety components.
Warning!
It is explicitly prohibited to remove, deactivate, bypass
and alter safety guards. The owner is solely liable for
the consequences.

Mechanical guards

• All guards must be protected from coming into contact with
moving or rotating machine elements.
• While the machine is running, the machine and danger zone
must be closed off by an isolating safety fence to guard
against unauthorised access.

24. Main power supply

The plug for the main power supply has the purpose of
disconnecting the machine from the electrical power supply.
Before disconnecting the machine from the power supply, e.g.
to shut it down:
• clear (empty) the machine, i.e. all components must have
left the machine,
• switch the machine off,
• wait for the machine to stop and switch off the master
switch.

25. Pneumatic safety guards

The servicing unit has a coupling. Before carrying out any
work on the machine, this must be detached from the
machine to depressurise it.

26. Supplementary guards

The owner is responsible for installing any further safety
guards necessary on the grounds of local circumstances,
under internal regulations or under the requirements of local
supervisory authorities.
Unless otherwise stated in the order confirmation and
otherwise shown in the installation plan, the safety guards
listed below are not provided by
Hettich FurnTech GmbH & Co. KG.
• Guards to prevent any emissions escaping from the
machine, for directly adjacent work place or traffic ways.
• Collision guard for the machine or operator position as
protection against damage from industrial trucks.
• Colour markings required under accident prevention
regulations (UVV), e.g. on the floor, as safety markings to
indicate work areas, traffic ways etc.

27. Disposal and protecting the environment

Any disposal must be in accordance with regulations and in
observance of the law!
Maintenance (servicing) and repair work may produce
the following waste materials requiring disposal – at the
responsibility of the machine owner:
• lubricants, cleaning agents and expendables,
• waste of all types, including worn machine components and
tools
• liquid wastes must be collected as groundwater-polluting
substances in closed, approved containers and disposed of
