Maintenance and repairs
Unexpected startup during maintenance work can cause accidents
Always remove the rechargeable battery before performing cleaning, maintenance and repair work.
Cleaning the device
In the case of heavy dirt accumulation, we recommend cleaning the device daily. In particular, the tension wheel and the tooth plate should be checked for damage and kept clean.
Make sure you are wearing safety goggles before cleaning with compressed air, use a compressed air gun with multi-hole jets for cleaning with compressed air. Make sure that the compressed air in not directed at any body parts or skin. Make sure air blow gun and nozzle complies with the applicable local standards.
In the right housing shell beneath the motor, there are two blow holes, through which the compressed air is blown first to clean the welding unit.
After this, clean the tension wheel and tooth plate with compressed air by blowing them out from the sides.
If necessary, clean/replace the tension wheel/tooth plate.
Re-greasing the unit
To ensure optimal stability, we recommend re-greasing the device regularly.
- Remove the rechargeable battery from the device. Remove the strap guide, internal, rear. Undo the two Torx cylinder head screws and remove the side cover.
