Bollhoff RIVCLINCH 0201 FS User Manual page 8

ATTEXOR Clinch Systems SA
• In case a tool remains stuck in the sheet metal, never attempt to get it out by tilting or
rotating as the stripper may remain under load. Keep hands away from the tools and
the work piece, disconnect the equipment from air line and any electricity connection,
and make sure that no pressure remains in the equipment. Refer to the manual.
• In case of using the machine without trigger protection, it can turn on unexpectedly
• Hold the machine properly and be prepared to react to normal or unexpected
movements. Have both hands available. Maintain a stable posture.
Tool change and selection
• Always disconnect the machine from the compressed air line and make sure that
no residual pressure remains in the circuit by pressing the trigger/pedal before
any disassembly or service intervention on the machine.
• Never mount non-compatible punch-die units, or tools having different
eccentricities, or tools with incorrect lengths, or tools which have not been
expressively specified.
• Never put the machine under pressure without having made sure that the tooling
and the machine are set according to the prescribed setting (see instructions, H
value setting).
• Never operate the machine without the tool fixing pins, or without tightening the
tool fixing screws.
Machine integrity
• Never disassemble the hydraulic / pneumatic piston without appropriate tooling
as it is constantly loaded by a strong return spring.
• Never fill the oil reservoir beyond the maximum level.
• Never attempt to block the reservoir plug, as the latter must be free to escape in
case of over pressure.
• Check regularly the condition of the pneumatic and hydraulic hoses, couplings,
balancer cable, suspension hooks.
• Never disassemble protection material against noise (exhaust valves silencers)
disconnect the equipment from air line and any electricity connection, and make
sure that no pressure remains in the equipment.
• If the machine has been deteriorated after a fall or misuse, security functions may
be compromised. Stop using the machine and return it for repair to your
distributor or directly to Bollhoff Attexor.
• Machines should be checked periodically to ensure that the ratings and markings
are legibly marked on the machine. Contact your distributor or Bollhoff Attexor for
replacement labels, if needed.
