Accessories; Maintenance - SPARKY BN 502 Instructions D'utilisation

To cut corrugated material (BN 502), operate the
die and the punch as shown on (Fig. 4). Operation
can be facilitated by rotating the die at 90o so that
the carrier (12) is parallel to the grooves in the cor-
rugated sheet (Fig. 5).
Coat the cutting line with machine oil to increase
the punch and die service life and cutting speed.
To cut steel sheet, use machine oil, used for ma-
chining metals.
To cut Aluminium and non-ferrous metals, use
mixture of naphtha and turpentine with 7:3 ratio.
Lubricate the die and punch with machine oil eve-
ry 10 min of operation.
Excessive fast feeding of the nibbler shall result
in considerable overloading the die, punch and
motor.
Quality cuts can be achieved until the punch cut-
ting edge is sharp enough. The worn punch shall
be replaced with a new one. Replace the worn die
and punch in due time.
WARNING: The die and punch must not
be reground.
WARNING: Disengage the cutting head
from the material while the motor is still running.
Otherwise the punch may be damaged.
Always switch the machine off and wait until the
punch has come to a complete standstill before
placing it down.
REPLACING THE DIE AND THE
PUNCH GUIDE
Using the 3mm hex key loosen the inner hex
screws (4), fixing the die (1) and the punch guide
(3).
Clean the contact surfaces of the carrier (12).
Install the new die and the new punch guide.

them using the 3mm hex key.
REPLACING THE PUNCH

VII - Maintenance
WARNING: Always ensure that the tool is
switched off and unplugged before attempting to
perform inspection or maintenance.
INSPECTIONS
Inspecting the die and punch
Longer service life and efficiency can be achieved
using only sharp die and punch.
Using worn-out die and punch significantly de-
creases the machine performance capability and
may result in failure. When you ascertain signs of
wearing replace the die and punch immediately.
WARNING: The die and punch must not
be reground.
Inspecting the cord
Make sure that the cord and the plug are in order.
If the replacement of the supply cord is neces-
sary, this has to be done by the manufacturer or
his agent in order to avoid a safety hazard.
Inspecting the fasteners
Regularly inspect all fasteners and ensure they
are properly tightened. Should any of the screws
be loose, retighten it immediately to avoid haz-
ards.
Motor maintenance
To prevent motor damage never allow contact of
motor windings with water or oil.
CLEANING
For safe operation always keep the machine and
its ventilation slots (9) clean.
Always clean the ventilation slots and the cutting
head after operation carefully with a dry brush.
Never operate a power tool with clogged ventila-
tion slots.
Exterior plastic parts may be cleaned with a damp
cloth and mild detergent.
