Operating guidelines / Maintenance
2. If the oil becomes discoloured or contaminated,
drain the tank and refill with fresh cutting oil.
3. Clean the oil pot after every 8 to 12 hours of actual
use.
4. When threads are cut, small chips of metal will fall
off and accumulate in the tank; efficient cleaning is
therefore essential to ensure trouble-free operation.
Keeping the oil system clean
1. Drain the oil and check for contamination.
2. Remove and clean the scrap receiver, upper cover
of the tank, oil pot and strainer, and clean the oil
tank. If the oil system is kept clean, the working life
of the gear pump will be prolonged.

2. Check the alignment of the cutter frame feed
screw, roller pins and cutter pin.
3. Clean and lubricate the cutter wheel, cutter pin,
feed screw and cutter roller.
Adjusting the V-belt
If the V-belt becomes slack, you can use the tension
pulley to adjust the tension. Never do this while the
power supply is connected. Always remove the plug
first.
1. Remove the rear cover by undoing the 4 screws.
2. Slightly loosen the two head-cap screws and gently
force the tension pulley against the belt.
3. Retighten the two head-cap screws.
4. Replace the rear cover.
