All lines, hoses and pressure lines (hydraulic, compressed air) should be
depressurized before commencing repair work.
Assemble and lay hydraulic and compressed air lines expertly. Do not mix up
connections. Fittings, length and quality of hose lines must fulfil the
requirements.
The pneumatic system must be bled before any servicing, inspection or
maintenance work is commenced. Before switching the compressed air supply
back on, ensure that no one is in the area of operation of the pneumatic drive
systems, as all pneumatically driven components move sharply to their basic
positions.
Noise protection devices on the machine must be in the protection position
during operation.
Wear the personal protective equipment stipulated. For example, safety
glasses, ear protectors etc.
When handling oils, grease or other chemical substances, observe the safety
regulations for the product concerned.

DANGER!
Risk of fatal injury from electric current.
Important: note the following during maintenance and cleaning work:
• Switch off the main switch
• The phase terminals L1, L2 and L3 are live, even when the main switch is
switched off!
• Withdraw the mains plug!
Hydraulic unions may come free as a result of vibration. Drops of oil on the
column base of the machine are evidence of leaks in the hydraulic system.
Reseal the unions by retightening them. Replace any defective
components
Remove the pressing tool, clean, and check for wear or damage -
NOTE!
Machine must be in home position.
Procedure
• Remove the tool from the tool holding fixture.
• On the pressing tool for steel rings, remove the retaining pins.
• Dismantle the tool (if the piston sticks, press it out of the matrix using a plastic
or aluminium piston).
• Clean all parts with a soft cloth. Use neutral, non-aggressive cleaning fluid.
NOTE!
Do not use sandpaper!
NOTE!
Ensure that the sharp edges on the upper face of the piston are not blunted.
Rounded piston edges lead to fouling, and cause the tool to stick.
NOTE
After cleaning, press five pellets.
NOTE!
Only when machine is equipped with semi-automatic ring cleaning device.
