Machine description Design and function (1) Lever (2) Motor (3) Bending pin (4) Cutting knife (5) Main switch (6) Hose feed (7) Knife protection The work piece is placed on the cutting plate between the retaining pin (3) and the hose feed (6). The machine is switched on using the main switch (4), starting the motor (5) which in turn drives the cutting knife (5).
Page 18
For cutting, the hand lever (1) is moved downwards in the direction of the cutting plate. The lever (1) pushes the hose feed (6) and the work piece mechanically in the direction of the cutting knife (4). The knife protection (7) prevents the operator from unintentionally reaching into the rotating cutting knife (4).

Transport and commissioning Transport The goods should be transported in the original packaging. During transport, the goods must be secured safely within the packaging. All applicable laws and regulations relating to securing loads shall be ob- served during transport. The machine may only be unloaded and transported by means of a lift truck or a crane.
WARNING! Danger from tilting machine! The machine may tilt if it is transported improperly. There is a risk of being injured. • Only lift the machine at the designated points. Lift the machine using the load hook (1) and transfer it to the in- stallation site.
Place the machine in a way so that it is easily accessible for main- tenance work from all sides. Check the machine for damage. Check the electric cables for damage. Train the operating staff and record training sessions in “Decla- ration of trained staff”, Section 9.

These ten careful cutting processes are important for the durability of the cutting knife TM or TMG.
Operation What you have to observe The operator has received the Operation Manual from the owner, has read and understood it and will observe it. Before starting and/or re-starting • Ensure sufficient illumination of the working area of the machine. During operation •...
Work piece cutting 5.3.1 Prerequisites ATTENTION! Damage to the machine The knife may be damaged when the machine is operated wit- hout hose prestressing. • Never cut without bending (X). • Adjust the bending pin and the workpiece. Prerequisites for a correct cutting process: •...
• The work piece must protrude over the two bending pins by at least 50 mm. • The work piece must completely bear on the cutting plate. 5.3.2 Cutting individual hoses WARNING! Cutting risk There is a risk of cutting your extremities when cutting work pieces.
Place the work piece onto the cutting insert between the bending pin (3) and hose feed (6). Switch on the machine using the main switch (5). Move the lever (1) downwards steadily and slowly. This pushes the hose feed (6) and in turn the work piece to- wards the cutting knife (4).

After a motor overload, if any, let the motor cool down and restart it. The restart protection prevents an unintentional restart of the ma- chine. Starting the machine is only possible by activating the main power switch again.
Cleaning WARNING! Risk for life and health! There is an acute risk of injuries when working in the danger zone of the cutting knife. • Disconnect the machine from all energy sources and secure it against switching on unintentionally. • Wear cut-proof gloves.
Page 36
Use a vacuum cleaner or a soft cloth to clean the machine. Release the four screws (3) on the machine cover (1). Remove the machine cover (1) by the handle (2). Extract the entire area of the hose feed (4). Reattach the machine cover (1) using the lever (2).
Maintenance Regular maintenance will ensure the continuous operation reliability of the device. What you have to observe This Section describes action to be taken by you as the fitter regularly to ensure the troublefree use of the machine/unit. • Maintenance work may only be performed by qualified mainte- nance staff (machine/unit fitters).

Maintenance item Cutting tool Cutting knife: check cutting edge for sharpness, cracks and breakouts; resharpen or replace knives as appropri- ate. Coating: check (TMC cutting knives only). Bolted connections: check and retighten if necessary. Machine: Cleaning Extraction line: Cleaning Safety equipment Knife protection: check for function Press the knife protec- tion on the outside edges towards the motor with both thumbs wearing cutting protection gloves.
Knife replacement WARNING! Cutting risk! Knife replacement imposes a significant risk of injuries to the hands. • Always wear cut-proof gloves when replacing the knives. Complete the cutting process. Deposit the work piece outside the machine. Disconnect the machine from the power supply. Release the four screws (3) on the machine cover (1).

Hold the shaft (4) with a hexagon socket wrench and release the nut (3) using an open-end wrench. The nut has a left-hand thread! Remove the washer (2) and cutting knife (1) from the shaft and place them down carefully. Attach the new cutting knife in the reverse order.
Reattach the machine cover using the lever. Motor brake readjustment Due to wear on the brake linings, the braking effect of the motor brake may decrease over time. In this case, the brake has to be readjusted. If the brake cannot be re- adjusted anymore, the brake linings are worn and must be replaced.
Page 42
Block the shaft using a hexagon socket wrench and turn the ad- justing nut to the right using an open-end wrench. Secure the plastic cover. Switch on the motor. Once the motor has reached full speed, allow the motor to run for a further 30 seconds.
Troubleshooting Error Cause Remedy Machine does not cut Main switch is off Switch on the main switch. Power plug defective Check the power plug, replace if necessary. Motor defective Contact service. Main switch defective Contact service. Cutting knife worn Check cutting knife for wear, replace if necessary.
Decommissioning, disposal WARNING! Risk by electrical voltage! There is a risk of electrocution near the live parts! • Shut down the machine/unit. • Disconnect the machine/unit from the power supply. CAUTION! Risk of injuries! Contact with consumables, e.g. oils, greases, test media, im- poses a risk of injuries for the skin, eyes, respiratory and intesti- nal tracts! •...
As regards disposal, the applicable national environmental protection and waste disposal regulations have to be complied with. Consumables and waste Observe applicable national environmental protection and waste dis- posal regulations. Return consumables, e.g. oils, greases, test media, to supplier - they are hazardous waste.
