Setting UP the Machine for ITS Operation

Before starting the machine for the first time, and each time the location of the machine is changed, or any changes are made in parts or any adjustments are done to it, we recommend the following steps:

After placing and making the machine level in its permanent location “STILL WITHOUT PLUGGING IT IN”, lubricate it with SAE 40 type oil in the grease cups and red marks. Let the oil have enough time to cover the parts and then clean the excess oil that might remain or drip.

To verify the machine is not blocked or might have suffered a blow or breakage:

1- Remove the top cover,

2- Verify the machine is not blocked or that it has any loose parts. 3- Put the cover back and fasten the 4 allen screws.

4- Lubricate the parts as indicated.

ADJUSTMENTS

DISCONNECT THE MACHINE TO CHANGE THE DIES, ADJUST THE PRESSURE, ETC

For an optimal operation, the machine has to be adjusted for each type of material and grommet, keeping the parts that do the grommeting (dies and spindle) in good condition.

The bottom and top dies #219 and #217, and the top set spindle #218 are the parts that need to be replaced regularly due to the normal use of the machine. You will realize that they have to be replaced when the machine does not cut cleanly and / or the grommeting is defective. We recommend you always have spare dies.

If you have to remove any part meant for the safety of the operator in order to do these adjustments (for example: acrylic cover, ring guard), remember to put them back where they belong.
