Maintenance And Inspection - Hitachi CN 16SA Handling Instructions Manual

Cutting materials
1.6 mm Mild steel plates
1.6 mm Mild steel
corrugated and trapezoidal
plates
1.2 mm stainless steel plates
When the machine is used according to the service
life indicated in the above table, the punch will have
abrasions as shown in the enlarged diagram of the
worn punch tip in Fig. 7. This is when the punch
and die should be replaced.
CAUTION:
If the punch and die are used longer than the
specified service life, the die holder will be subject
to excessive stress and may break off.
When a 1.6 mm mild steel trapezoidal plate is cut,
wear will be especially quick. Replace the punch
and die as soon as possible after reaching the
service life.
2. Punch and die replacement (see Fig. 8)
CAUTION:
During the following operations, use care to prevent
dirt adhering inside the gear cover, inside the die
holder and around the piston.
(1) Punch replacement
(a) Loosen the M8 hexagon socket set screw mounting
the die holder (see Fig. 4) and remove the die
holder.
(b) Loosen the M5 hexagon socket set screw fastening
the punch to the piston and pull out the punch.
(c) Insert the new punch while aligning the taper hole
of the punch and the direction of the M5 hexagon
socket set screw, then securely tighten the hexagon
socket set screw (see Fig. 9).
(2) Die replacement
Loosen the 2 machine screws and replace the die.
(3) Lubricaton
When the above replacement operations are
completed, apply a suitable amount of machine oil
to the sliding surfaces around the punch and die
and operate the machine without a load.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

1. Checking punch and die
A worn or defective punch and die will greatly
decrease work efficiency.
Check and replace them periodically. Refer to
"Replacing punch and die".
2. Inspecting the mounting screws
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure
that they are properly tightened. Should any of the
screws be loose, retighten them immediately. Failure
to do so could result in serious hazard.
3. Maintenance of the motor
The motor unit winding is the very "heart" of the
power tool. Exercise due care to ensure the winding
does not become damaged and/or wet with oil or
water.
Service life cutting

200 m
4. Inspecting the carbon brushes (Fig. 10)
The motor employs carbon brushes which are
consumable parts. Since an excessively worn carbon
brush can result in motor trouble, replace the carbon
brush with a new one having the same carbon
brush No. shown in the figure when it becomes
worn to or near the "wear limit". In addition, always
keep carbon brushes clean and ensure that they
slide freely within the brush holders.
5. Replacing carbon brushes
Disassemble the brush cap with a screwdriver. The
carbon brush can then be easily removed.
