15 Maintenance and Inspection


Before any maintenance and inspection work is carried out, chapter
be read carefully and observed!
Operational malfunctions caused by insufficient or improper maintenance can result in very high repair costs and
long machine downtimes. Regular maintenance is therefore essential.
•
Clean the machine daily.
•
Check all sliding or rolling parts weekly for smooth running and lubricate with a thin-bodied oil if necessary.
•
The anti-kickback device of the thicknessing table must always be kept in good condition: Therefore, at
least once per work shift, check the contact surface of the anti-kickback fingers for tarnishing and make
sure that they drop down freely under their own weight. If necessary, adjust the anti-kickback fingers ac-
cording to section  15.6.
•
Inspect electrical equipment/components weekly for externally visible damage and have them repaired by
a qualified electrician if necessary.
•
Immediately remove and replace damaged guards. Never work with damaged equipment!
•
Before starting work, check the extraction system for full function every day.
•
The extraction system must be checked for obvious defects before initial commissioning, daily and monthly
to ensure its effectiveness.
•
The air velocity to the extraction system must be checked before the initial commissioning and after signifi-
cant modifications.
•
The function of the gas springs should be checked occasionally. If it takes a lot of force to open the protec-
tive cover, the gas springs must be replaced.
•
Do not use the machine until these conditions are met.
Due to the different operating conditions, it is not possible to determine in advance how often a wear check,
inspection or maintenance is required. Inspection intervals are to be determined appropriately according to the
respective operating conditions.

15.1 Retensioning the Feed Chain

The feed chain is equipped with an automatic chain tensioner that always ensures the correct tension. Manual
retensioning is therefore not necessary. The chain only needs to be replaced when it is excessively worn.
