Before installing Picote tools, always make sure that the machine is fully turned off and unplugged from
the power source.
•
Always round off the sharp edges of the shaft to avoid cuts and to make it easier to insert
the shaft into the tool to be used.
•
Check that there is the correct length of flexible shaft without its plastic casing at the end of
the flexible shaft. Check that all screws have been loosened so that the shaft can be easily in-
serted inside the tool. Position the shaft inside the tool as far as it will go. Tighten the screws.
Consult accessory
manuals (cutters & grinding chains) for detailed information.
•
Always check that the unit is set to rotate in the desired direction. The natural and intended rotational direction
of the shaft is clockwise (=forward), due to its fabrication. When used clockwise the torque is at its optimum.
•
Anti
-
clockwise (=reverse) rotation direction is strictly for temporary use only!
It may result in shaft failure.
While in operation:
•
Always lay the machine down horizontally on the floor.
•
During drilling, grinding and cutting processes, always use a separate vacuum extraction system in the drain to
remove dust.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
STARTING & USING THE MACHINE
1.
Check the rotational direction of the shaft and the rpm. The rotational direction is checked using the for-
ward/reverse switch on the control unit (forward or reverse). The control of the rotational speed is also
located in the control unit. The rotational speed increases when the speed control is turned clockwise.
2.
Place the tool inside the pipe.
3.
Turn on the power switch.
4.
Release the Red Emergency Button (if it
’
s pressed down).
5.
The machine starts when the OPC foot pedal is pressed down. Always hold the flexible shaft firmly while
operating the machine.
6.
Rotating the tool makes it easier to move the tool forward inside the pipe.
7.
Take all the shaft out from the reel when working to increase the force transferred to the tool.
8.
The machine has an Operator Presence Control or
‘
OPC
’.
When the control is not held down, the machine
stops. The machine can also be stopped by pushing the Emergency Stop down, rotating the power switch
to O, unplugging the machine or rotating main frame on/off switch to O.
9.
The life span of the shaft outer casing can be prolonged by using Sleeves with Bearings designed for the
outer casing.
There is a display on the frequency transformer. The following messages may occur:
Stop
The Maxi Miller Power Plus is ready and waiting for OPC activation
. . . .
The Maxi Miller Power Plus is using more current than nominal current
E
-
trip
The Maxi Miller Power Plus is overloaded to the point that the power will be cut off momentarily. Lift
your foot off the pedal and press the pedal down again to continue. Avoid overloading the motor.
