Maintenance and lubrication of the parts of the bending machine:<\/a><\/li>
For “combined” revolving models, lubricate the connecting rod in its position<\/a><\/li>
Checking the gearbox oil level<\/a><\/li>

Maintenance and lubrication of the parts of the bending machine:<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n
Lubricate all the bolts of the bending machine, as well as the holes of the turning table, then introduce the bolts into the holes and ensure their correct fitting.<\/li>\n
If there are any observed damages to the bolts or the turning table, they must be repaired as soon as possible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
For “combined” revolving models, lubricate the connecting rod in its position<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n
Remember to disconnect the machine from the power supply whilst conducting maintenance<\/li>\n
Access the connecting rod via the rear door of the machine, the rod can be found situated beneath the gearbox, then using a pump apply pressurized lubricant into the available lubricators within the conducting rod.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Checking the gearbox oil level<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n
Access the gearbox via the rear door of the machine, locate the oil-level display and check levels; the minimum level should never fall below the central level.<\/li>\n
In order to replenish the oil levels, remove the filling cap and apply the necessary oil until it covers the display.<\/li>\n
When it is necessary to do a complete oil change, drain the gearbox through its lower cap.<\/li>\n
Take extra care with the used oils given their environmental impact; the used oils must be disposed of at official recycling centres.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Checking and maintaining the transmission<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n
Access the transmission through the access doors, then check the belt tension by<\/li>\n
simply pressing on it with fingers, the correct tension should not exceed a shaft arc of between 6-8mm.<\/li>\n
Any transmission belts that appear worn or damaged must be replaced as quickly as possible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Lubrication of jaws for “combined” models<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n
Apply lubricant through a pressure pump by means of the lubricators found on the side of the cutting jaw.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Replacing blades for “combined” models<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n
Connect the power to the machine at the base.<\/li>\n
Connect the pedal at its base.<\/li>\n
Press the pedal to bring out the blade casing, placing this in a comfortable position in order to remove the screws on the blade.<\/li>\n
Disconnect once more the machine from its power supply.<\/li>\n
Using an appropriate wrench, remove the screws and rotate the blade onto a new cutting edge, or if necessary, replace the existing blade with a new one if the existing blade appears to be completely worn out.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Finally, the machine should be covered with waterproof canvas<\/strong> in order to protect it from wear and tear.<\/p>\n
