Working With The Guillotine; Assembly; Blade Changing - EFA Z 13 Betriebsanleitung

3.2.2 Switching off
Release the switches to open the blades
The cutting process can be interrupted or repeated
at any time.

3.3 Working with the guillotine

Wear ear protectors during work!
Never reach into the cutting area
of the guillotine to avoid the risk
of cutting off limbs!
During tool changing, disconnect
the guillotine from the com-
pressed air network.
Wear eye protection or safety
goggles when working with the
guillotine!
3.3.1 Working process
The hydraulic power pack must be ready for
operation.
Hold the guillotine firmly, position correctly and
actuate the two-hand safety circuit (see Chapter
3.2 "Switch operation" (p. 18))
Position the guillotine. Press the switches simultane-
ously (max. time difference 0.3 sec +/- 0.1 sec.).
The complete unit switches on and the moving
blade (12) moves forwards.
After completing the cut, release both handle
switches. The moving blade returns to its starting
position. After after-cutting can be performed with-
out waiting for the moving blade to return to its
starting position. To do this, press both switches si-
multaneously again.
Always apply the guillotine at right an-
gles and in the cutting area (not with
the blade tips). Otherwise the blades
may break due to overload.
Venting of the guillotine is not necessary, as the air
escapes from the venting filter of the hydraulic pow-
er pack via the hydraulic hoses after a few actua-
tions of the guillotine.

3.3.2 Work safety
Hold the machine firmly with both handles.
Work particularly carefully when breaking. The
blades closes within 3.0 s
Always apply the guillotine at right angles and in
the cutting area in order to avoid blade break-
age due to overload.
Suspend the guillotine from a spring balances
for safe handling (guidance).

4. Assembly

Disconnect the machine from the
works mains before starting any
assembly work!
Depressurise the guillotine before disconnect-
ing from the mains supply:
Switch off the machine. Hold the guillotine with
both handles and switch off, then release. The
pressure hoses are depressurised.
The drawings necessary for assembly can be found
in Annex A.5 "Explosionszeichnung / Exploded view"
(p. 31).

4.1 Blade changing

4.1.1 Changing the blades
1. Close the blades (12)
2. Disconnect the air hoses (5 and 6)
3. Loosen and remove the 2 screws (17)
4. Loosen the 2 screws (18, 19)
5. Remove the 2 screws (9) from bracket (10)
6. Remove bracket (10)
7. The fixed blade (12) can be removed
8. Loosen the 2 screws (4) and pull out the moving
blade (12) to the front
9. Reassemble the blades in the reverse order
(point 8-1).
10.Adjust the clearance of the blades (12) with
adjusting screw (18). The blade clearance
should be max. 0.1-0.3 mm (never run the
blades against one another - i.e. blade clearance
always > 0 mm)
