PERIODIC INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE The machine inspection and maintenance is a responsibility for an operator. Thoroughly performing daily or routine inspection and maintenance will enable you to find problem in advance, which may reduce the possibility of machine trouble. The correct and effective cleaning and maintenance for the machine not only keep a normal operation performance, but also ensure safety for the operator.
DAILY INSPECTION, CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Make sure the power source has been turned off before performing inspection, cleaning or maintenance job. Every day when job finish, use an air gun and cleaning tools to remove the wood dusts, edge wastes, chips or glue accumulated on the machine. When job finish, clean all tables and pressure rollers.
MONTHLY INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE Make sure the power source has been turned off before performing inspection and maintenance. Inspect and test emergency stop switch. If it is damaged, wire breakage or poor contact, repair or replace it. Check ground wires. If wire has been broken or poor contact, repair or replace it. Check all safety guards on the machine.
YEARLY INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE Make sure the power source has been turned off before performing inspection, cleaning or maintenance. Inspect all parts on each machine. Refer to daily and monthly maintenance instructions. In addition to inspection items instructed on daily and monthly maintenance, inspecting other parts are also requested.
TROUBLE SHOOTING When the start switch is pressed, but motor cannot start running. At this time, check if power source has been turned on. Also check if no fuse breaker skips or not. When the start switch is pressed, but motor cannot start running. At this time, check if there is wire breakage or poor contact on the control circuit or power circuit.
MAINTENANCE BEFORE STARTING MAINTENANCE OR LUBRCATION, PLEASE DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE. It is worth to do regular and careful cleaning of machines that can forestall many of the common drawbacks that arise during running, as helping cut maintenance costs.
