7 Operation
WARNING
Risk of accident - read the following prior to
operation:
• The clamping unit should be attached securely
to the base and should not move.
• The indicator on the vacuum gauge [1-3] must
remain within the green sector at all times.
As soon as the indicator enters the red sector,
stop work immediately and rectify the cause of
the fault (see "Chap. 13 Fault rectifi cation").
• Check the rubber cups on the suction plate and
the rubber seal on the base before using the
machine. Never work with a damaged suction
plate or rubber seal.
• Clamp workpieces so that the centre of grav-
ity is positioned over the suction plate. The
workpiece must protrude at least 1 cm over
the edge of the suction plate on all sides.
• Do not push or pull on the clamped workpiece
with excessive force. There is a risk that the
workpiece will come loose from the suction
plate.
• Check whether the workpiece is seated se-
curely before starting work.
Working method
• Switch on the pump at the on/off switch [1-2] (I
= ON, 0 = OFF).
• Connect the vacuum hose to the connector
[3-2].
• Wait until the indicator on the vacuum gauge
[1-3] is within the green sector.
Clean the sealing lip on the suction plate with
a cotton cloth soaked in white spirit so that no
marks are left behind when the workpiece is
clamped.
• Place a workpiece on the suction plate.
The workpiece triggers the button valve [10-1] and
the suction force then secures the workpiece.
• Check whether the workpiece is retained se-
curely.
• Perform the required work on the workpiece.
Removing the workpiece
WARNING
Risk of accidents
• Always hold the workpiece with both hands
before actuating the foot valve.
• Make sure that the workpiece cannot fall or tip
after the foot valve is actuated.
• To release the workpiece, hold with both hands
and actuate the foot valve [2-5].
• Remove the workpiece.
• After using the pump, switch off at the on/off
switch [1-2] and remove the plug from the power
socket.
8 Service and maintenance
