Safety instructions Presentation of warnings Warning notes in the Operation Manual warn against risks involved with the handling of the machine/unit. Risk levels are identified as fol- lows: The signal word HAZARD identifies an imminent hazard resulting in HAZARD! serious injuries or death. This warning is supplemented by a triangu- lar hazard symbol.
➢ persons with a restricted capability for the operation of ma- chines (e.g. under the influence of drugs, alcohol or narcot- ics). Use of the control in compliance with the intended purpose also in- cludes compliance with the instructions in this Operation Manual. Use for other than the intended purpose Any other use is considered as being not in compliance with the in- tended purpose, in particular:...

Risk of squeezing When the retractable fork moves, there is a risk of Risk of shearing squeezed between the tool inserts and the work piece. • Keep sufficient distance to the movable parts of the machine and the tool inserts. Tilting hazard The risk of tilting mainly exists while the machine is being trans- ported.
Safety 2.4.1 Working area The working area is defined as the area 1 metre all around the ma- chine (shaded). • Keep the working area free from trip hazards. • Provide good illumination.
2.4.2 Warning signs on the machine Hand injury on the guide carriage Risk of squeezing on the steel type holder Illegible or missing warning signs must immediately be replaced by the operator.

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 can only be transported manually. For machine weight, please refer to "Technical data"...
• temperature between 10°C and 35°C, • maximum air humidity 80% (non-condensating). Commissioning The machine is commissioned by the customer's fitter. Lift the machine manually and place it on the optionally supplied table. Mount the bearing block (2 to the guide carriage (1) using the cylinder bolts (3).

WARNING! Risk of injuries! Machine components might loosen during transport. Such com- ponents might be flung out during the embossing process. There is a risk of being injured. • Simulate the embossing process several times without a work piece. • Check the machine for atypical noise.
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 •...
Embossing the work piece 5.2.1 Prerequisites Prerequisites for a correct skiving process: • Bearing blocks are set to the diameter of the work piece. • Steel types are mounted correctly in the steel type holder. • Steel type holder is mounted correctly in the stamp holder.
5.2.2 Embossing Set the bearing blocks (3) to the requested workpiece size - three positions are available. The bending pin position and the work piece diameter are matched to each other: Large sleeve diameter = large distance of bearing blocks. Small sleeve diameter = small distance of bearing blocks. Unscrew the star knob screw (2).
Page 25
Turn the hand wheel (5) until the steel types (4) are in contact with the work piece. Remove the workpiece from the machine. Turn the hand wheel (5) counter-clockwise to the stop by a half- turn. Position the work piece on the bearing blocks (3). Use the operating lever (1).
5.2.3 Embossing with steel type holder, single-row with 4 wheels Insert steel types (1) in steel type holder. Space types allow a space to be left between the markings. Tighten the clamping screw (5). Loosen the clamping screw (6). Loosen retaining pin (7). Adjust the daisy wheels (2).
Insert the block (3). 10. Tighten the clamping screw (4). Make sure that clamp has been installed correctly and securely. Check the correct (non-reversed) arrangement of the types by me- tallic mirror. 5.2.4 Embossing with steel type holder, double-row without wheels Insert steel types (1) in steel type holder.
Check the correct (non-reversed) arrangement of the types. 5.2.5 Embossing with steel type holder, single-row with 4 wheels Insert steel types (1) in steel type holder. Space types allow a space to be left between the markings. Tighten the clamp levers (5). Loosen the clamping screw (6).

Loosen retaining pin (7). Adjust the daisy wheels (2). The setting of the type wheels (8) represents the markings to be embossed. Fix the retaining pin (7). Tighten the clamping screw (6). Loosen the clamping screw (4). Insert the block (3). 10.
5.2.6 Steel type holder replacement Positioning the steel type holders Use the wrench (1) to push the locking pin in the stamp holder (3) to the left and hold it. Use the retaining bolt to insert the steel type holder (2) into the mounting hole.
Cleaning ATTENTION! Risk of damage to machinery! If the machine is cleaned with a steam jet or compressed air, dirt and water may ingress in the machine and cause serious dam- age. • Do not use a steam jet to clean the device. •...
