Initial start-up

3.1 Important notes

WARNING!

  • The voltage specified on the maker’s plate and that of the local power supply must match. The plant may only be connected to an AC power supply.
  • It is a compulsory that the operator has read the safety regulations.
  • In the event that the plant is operated from a generator, the mains supply voltage must not exceed that specified on the maker‘s rating plate.

3.2 Rotary speeds
The three-speed portable shearing plant is specially designed for professional use. The lowest speed is ideal for  inexperienced shearers and for shearing under difficult conditions.
The medium speed setting is suitable for shearers with average shearing skills and for running in new shearing  handpieces.
The high speed setting is for experienced, professional shearers who demand high shearing performance.

3.3 Changing the speeds

CAUTION!

An authorised service point in compliance with the following instructions may only carry out changing the speed!

Pull out the plug from the socket.

Remove the cover by loosening the nine screws (Diag. 2, pos. a). A plate bearing the speed specification is fitted beneath the cover. See also Chapter 4.2, “Service”.The self-tensioning belt tensions the belt automat ically.

Push the belt by means of a slight movement so that the drive axis turns into the new desired position (Diag. 2, pos. c). To ensure that the belt is not damaged, do not use any auxiliary aids when changing speeds.

Make sure that the belt is located in the grooves at the same height on both axis.

Re-secure the cover using the nine screws (Diag. 2, pos. a).

3.4 Assembling the shearing plant
Pay attention to sufficient fastening of the shearing plant.
3.4 .1 Assembly height of the wall mounting
Fix the wall mounting in such a way that a gap of approximately 10 to 25 mm remains between the end of the rigid drive downtube (or flexible drive) and the working area (Diag. 4, pos. c). In doing so take into consideration the type of application cited below.
If the plant is to be operated with the rigid drive downtube or flexible drive, the shearing plant is assembled in accordance with Diag. 4, pos. b. If the plant is to be operated with a flexible drive then it can also be suspended on a rope (Diag. 3).

3.4.2 Assembling the rigid drive downtube or flexible drive

Release the quick release (pos. 54, Diag. 6).

Push the coupling tube of the flexible or the solid drive downtube into the downtube bush of the shearing plant.

Start and stop the motor while at the same time push the coupling tube upwards to the mark.

Ensure the coupling tube is in the correct position with the mark and secure the flexible or solid dr ive by means of the quick release mechanism.

CAUTION!
Check that the flexible or solid drive is securely fixed by the quick release mechanism and located correctly before use.

3.5 Switching the shearing plant on / off
CAUTION!
Make sure that the ventilation holes are always clear (Diag. 6, pos. a + b). The shearing plant must never be switched on when it is lying on flat ground as the cooling air flow would be interrupted and the motor could burn out (Diag. 6, pos. b).

NOTE!
Connecting the shearing plant to the power supply, the motor is not yet engaged. The shearing plant is switched on and off respectively via the cord / lever (Diag. 6, pos. c). The drive is switched on by means of one downward pull, and is switched off again by repeating this operation.
Should the power supply be interrupted whilst the drive is running, for safety reasons the motor switches off automatically, which means that the unit must be switched on again via the cord / lever when the power supply is re- established.

Maintenance

4 .1 Cleaning
Before commencing any maintenance work disconnect the electrical power supply by pulling out the plug!
Remove any oil and dirt from the shearing plant by means of a dry cloth. Do not use liquids!

4.2 Service
WARNING!
For safety reasons the portable shearing plant should be subjected to an annual inspection. It is important that the self-tensioning belt is checked periodically, since the functionality of the patented safety cutout device is dependent on this.
4.3 Lubrication
Lubricate the machine in accordance with the following specifications, since a lack of lubrication is the most common source of faults for unsatisfactory shearing results.

4.3.1 Portable shearing plant
Requires no lubrication.
4.3.2 Flexible drive
prior to each period of operation Oil the flexible drive prior to use, and at least each time the cutters are replaced (Diag. 7, pos. a).
after 100 hours of operation The flexible drive is fitted with sealed and permanently lubricated ball bearings. The rotating shaft bore must, however, be greased at regular intervals (after approximately 100 hours of operation or every 2 years).
To perform this task dismantle the flexible drive in order to remove old grease residue from the shaft bore. Then re-lubricate the shaft  borealong its whole length with fresh, high-quality mineral grease.

4.3.3 Rigid drive downtube
The rigid drive downtube is fitted with sealed and permanently lubricated ball bearings. The rotating cogs of the universal joint must, however, be lubricated at regular intervals during use (approximately every 2 operating hours). Lubricate the shaft at the  lubrication points provided in accordance with Diag. 7, pos. b. Only high quality mineral oil is to be used for this purpose (engine or gearbox oil).

4.3.4 Shearing handpiece
See operating instructions for shearing handpiece.

4.4 Storing the machine
CAUTION!
Get into the habit of always giving the shearing plant a good clean after use, store the unit in a dry and clean location out of the reach of children.
