Servicing / care
Servicing unit
The servicing unit keeps dirt, dust, water and oil droplets out
of the compressed-air line. Always make sure the reservoir is
emptied in good time. The filter has no effect if the reservoir
gets too full. This will result in malfunctioning and faster
wear to valves and cylinders. The necessary intervals must be
defined internally as they will largely depend on the quality of
compressed air provided.
Servicing units must be checked for water at the sight glass
every day.
Note!
After completing all work, make sure all screws and
lines are securely connected on the compressed-air
systems.

6. Instructions on inspections

Inspections are measures for establishing and assessing the
actual condition of a machine and its components.
Note!
Inspections are carried out as preventive maintenance
and to ensure your personal safety.
Failure to carry out an inspection in good time is deemed
non-intended machine use.
The machine operator must check the machine on a daily
basis for externally visible faults and immediately rectify any
faults identified or, if this is not possible, report them.
The machine must only be operated if it is in proper working
order.
The machine's surroundings must be kept clean and clear
of stumbling hazards. Compressed-air hoses and suction-
extraction hoses must be routed so as not to get in the way
of the machine operator and restrict movement.
The prescribed servicing work must be carried out at the
intervals shown. If necessary, the owner must define other
appropriate intervals or specify additional work.
During weekly cleaning work, all of the machine's components
should be checked for wear and damage wherever possible.
The sooner damage is identified, the less it will cost to repair!
Once fitted, check all screw connections for secure fit! This
applies in particular to all components exposed to dynamic
strain.
During monthly servicing work, carry out random checks on
screw connections exposed to dynamic strain!
Check safety guards at regular intervals (at least once a
month) for proper working order.
Check all electric cables and compressed-air hoses for
damage and secure fit.
Check cable glands at terminal boxes for proper sealing and
secure fit.

General

Regularly clean drilling dust off the machine.
Regularly check electrical cables and compressed-air lines.
Immediately renew faulty or damaged components. Only use
genuine replacement parts!

4. Reporting malfunctions

1. General information
Note!
Always first identify the cause of any malfunction.
2. Malfunctions caused by the owner
Before leaving the factory, the machine/system was checked
for proper working order by our skilled personnel.
Malfunctions attributable improper treatment, non-intended
use or poor (unpunctual / improper) servicing are not covered
by the warranty. The risk is borne solely by the owner.
3. Troubleshooting
Caution!
Observe the regulations, warnings and precautions
when carrying out any troubleshooting activity
When locating any fault, proceed in stages and make a
written note of observations, testing or measuring results.
Try and establish as accurately as possible which operating
situation the malfunction occurred in, in other words try and
answer the following questions:
Which work operation was the machine still performing
properly?
After which work operation did the malfunction start to
occur?
Does the malfunction occur regularly or only occasionally?
In the case of occasional malfunctions, try to find out
whether the malfunction can be associated with
events or actions immediately before the malfunction occurs.
Does the malfunction only occur in conjunction with specific
components (material, shape, particular profiles)?
Observe the operating manuals for all additional equipment /
options.
General causes of malfunction
Before removing components in any troubleshooting activity,
first make sure:
157
• the machine and / or its equipment is not showing any
157
visible damage,
157
• the machine is clean and no dust deposits are obstructing
or affecting the way components move,
157
• the compressed-air supply is working properly and
157
operating pressure is within the permissible tolerance
157
(6 - 7 bar),
• the mains power supply conditions match the specifications
for the electric motors (rating plates) and / or electric
equipment, and motor protection is correctly set, and
• servicing measures have been performed on time.
Malfunctions while machine is operating
All work involved in repairing, setting, troubleshooting and
servicing must only be carried our by duly instructed, trained
and authorised skilled personnel.
Always consult the machine setter in the event of any
malfunction.
Try and locate the area of the machine the malfunction has
occurred in.
Check whether:
• switches are incorrectly set or faulty,
• air hoses are leaking or kinked, and
• electric cables have been damaged by the switches or
solenoid valves. It is not uncommon for electric cables to
break.
