Maintenance - Migatronic GREEN POINTER PRO Mode D'emploi

8. Maintenance

The Green Pointer Pro
must always have sufficient
grinding liquid, in order
to ensure an optimum
collection of dust and
cooling of the grinding
process. For this reason,
check the amount
of grinding liquid
regularly and top up if
necessary. A mark on the
glass frame indicates the
correct amount of grinding
liquid (measured while
the grinder is off). To ensure a long service life of
the grinder and the diamond disc - only use original
Green Pointer Pro grinding liquid.
Replace grinding fluid heavily contaminated with
dust.
Deposit grinding fluid and/or containers containing
dust in accordance with national regulations
depending on the grinding dust content. Please see
the data sheet of the selected electrodes.
Daily Inspection
In order to ensure free movement of the angle
adjustment, move it all the way back and forward
every day. Not following this procedure, the machine
will gradually collect dust inside the grinding chamber,
and as a result, the angle setting will be stuck and it is
impossible to change the grinding disc.
Monthly/1000 grind service
Clean the grinding
chamber when the
LED lights yellow or at
least once every month
following these steps:
1. Drain out the
grinding fluid
through the hose into
an empty container
2. Set the angle
adjustment to 90°
3. Remove the two
screws, the frame and
the inspection cover
4. Wipe off the grinding
chamber with a
cloth or paper towel.
Eventually remaining
stuck dust can
carefully be scraped
off
5. Mount the inspection
cover and frame and top up with grinding liquid
6. Reset the service counter by turning on the grinder
and pressing and holding the pushbutton for 3
seconds
If the grinding liquid does not come out of the hose,
it may be due to grinding dust inside the grinding
chamber, which is blocking the hole. To get the
grinding dust away, press a little air or grinding fluid
through the hose, using the grinding fluid bottle.
Quarterly/5000 grind service
When the LED blinks yellow or at least once every
three months clean the inside of the grinding
chamber following these steps:
The power to the machine must be turned off – pull
out the plug
1. Drain out the grinding fluid through the hose into
an empty container.
2. Set the angle adjustment to 90°.
3. Remove the dust collector under the grinding
chamber.
4. Place a support under the motor housing, ~20mm
tall. Remove the three torx screws on the back of
the grinding chamber and the two bolts under the
table. Now you can remove the grinding chamber
from the motor housing.
5. Clean out the grinding dust inside the grinding
chamber. Dismantle the angle adjust unit if
necessary. Make sure the angle adjust unit can
slide smoothly all the way back and forth.
6. When assembling the parts add bearing grease to
all moving parts, screws and gaskets except for the
Inspection cover mounting.
7. Check the O-ring on the backplate before
mounting the grinding chamber.
8. Mount and tighten the torx screws and the two
bolts.
9. Carefully check the dust collector before mounting
and top up with new grinding fluid.
10. Reset the service counter by turning on the grinder
and pressing and holding the pushbutton for 5
seconds.
Clean the Green Pointer Pro thoroughly each time the
grinding wheel is replaced, when the dust collector
is full, or earlier if necessary. Perform cleaning as
mentioned above.
It is advisable that the person performing the cleaning
is carrying the necessary protective gear.
It can be difficult to remove the grinding dust from
the aluminum parts without damaging the parts;
boiling hot water is an effective way to dissolve the
grinding dust.
Do not use chemicals, solvents or high pressure
cleaning.
Check the cable regularly. Only qualified personnel
must replace it. If necessary, contact MIGATRONIC A/S
or your local distributor for service contact.
