on and off respectively via the cord / lever (Diag. 2, pos. b). 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, the motor switches off
automatically for safety reasons, which means that the plant must be switched on again via
Diag. 2
the cord / lever when the power supply is re-established.
4 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
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 cut-out device is dependent on this.
4.3 Lubrication
Lubricate the handpiece in accordance with the manufactures specifications, since a lack of
lubrication is the most common source of faults for unsatisfactory shearing results.
4.3.1 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. 4,
pos. a).
Diag. 4
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 remo-
ve old grease residue from the shaft bore. Then re-lubricate the shaft bore along its whole
length with fresh, high-quality mineral grease.
