means:<br />

Main switch on <strong>the</strong> switchgear cabinet must be on “0” and <strong>the</strong> machine has been disconnected from <strong>the</strong><br />

compressed air system.<br />

Daily:<br />

- Before <strong>operating</strong> <strong>the</strong> machine: check that all safety devices are functional and complete.<br />

- After work is completed: secure <strong>the</strong> machine against unauthorised use (padlock)<br />

clean large chips off <strong>the</strong> machine.<br />

Weekly or as required:<br />

Drain <strong>the</strong> filter/pressure reducer. To do this, <strong>the</strong> machine must be disconnected from <strong>the</strong> air system (semiautomatic<br />

drainage).<br />

Monthly:<br />

- Clean <strong>the</strong> guide bars and lubricate <strong>the</strong>m with commercially available grease.<br />

- Check <strong>the</strong> position indicators by test drilling. Correct, if necessary, as described in sections 8-101, 8-102<br />

The Flexipress has proven its durability in many fatigue tests. To ensure that your Flexipress gives you long<br />

and reliable service, we recommend having <strong>the</strong> machine serviced by an experienced <strong>Grass</strong> service technician<br />

or <strong>Grass</strong> distributor every 1 - 3 years, depending on <strong>the</strong> number of hours in service.<br />
