USE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
2.3 PACKING
If you need to pack the Live Tool again for any reason (i.e. to send
it back to us for repair) please pack it carefully. The Live Tool should
be wrapped and insulated in a way to prevent damage during trans-
port; protect all surfaces with oil.
3. USE
The correct and safe attachment to the turret of the live tool
blocks and the tools they will hold should be confirmed prior to
operation of the live tool.
Before mounting the Live Tool in the machine, we recommend
lightly greasing the drive.
If any abnormal noise or excessive vibration are detected dur-
ing operation of the live tool, immediately stop the operation of the
tool and contact the service department at SMW Autoblok.
Any type of use of SMW Autoblok live tools different from those
described here, is forbidden
SMW Autoblok is not responsible for damage to property or
injury caused by improper use of live tools.
3.1 TOOL MOUNTING
In the Live Tooling supplied with an ER collet, the collet must be
mounted in the nut first, then the nut must be screwed on to the
threaded shaft, using the proper wrench (not included).
3.2 LIVE TOOLING WITH EXTERNAL OR INTERNAL COLLET NUT.
Attach the collet nut using wrench "B", keeping the shaft steady
with wrench "A" (see the picture).

4. GREASING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: Use only SMW-Autoblok K67 grease.
4.1 STRAIGHT LIVE TOOLS LT-S
The LT-S (straight Live Tools) do not require any lubrication.
4.2 ANGULAR LIVE TOOLS LT-A
The LT-A (angular Live Tools) should be lubricated every 300-600
running hours. This interval is dependent on the operating condi-
tions.
For safety reasons, the Live Tool must be dismounted from the tur-
ret and placed on a work bench to be greased.
- open the greasing screw (do not lose or damage the safety seal);
- hold the LT by the drive and manually rotate the tool. Insert 2
grams of K67 grease, then rotate the tool spindle 90° and insert 2
more grams of grease. 2 grams of grease should be inserted for
each 90° of spindle rotation (approx. total grease quantity min 5
max 8 gr., according to LT size);
- remount the LT on the turret again, ensure that the mounting bolts
are properly tightened, and that the ER collet nut is properly
attached;
- let the tool rotate for approx. 2 min. at a speed of 100 rpm, to allow
for even distribution of the grease.
CAUTION: when you begin rotation of the tool, do not exceed
3.000 rpm for approx. 1 min.
4.3 ANGULAR LIVE TOOLS WITH OFFSET LT-S
The LT-S (angular Live Tools with offset) should be lubricated every
300-600 running hours. This interval is dependent on the operating
conditions.
CAUTION: when you begin rotation of the tool, do not exceed
3.000 rpm for approx. 1 min.
4.4 LIVE TOOL LT-T - 180° TILTING MODEL
The LT-T (180° tilting model) must be greased every 150-300 hours,
depending on the operating conditions.
CAUTION: when you begin rotation of the tool, do not exceed
3.000 rpm for approx. 1 min.
5. SPARE PARTS AND SERVICE
Live Tools are complex components.
spare parts are available from your authorized SMW Autoblok dis-
tributor. We recommend you return your live tool to SMW Autoblok

cians will provide the proper level of service to maintain a long serv-
ice life of your live tool.
