DO NOT CARRY OUT ADJUSTMENTS

It is forbidden to carry out adjustment interventions on the machine: these could reduce the safety of the
machine; it is especially forbidden to remove or modify the protections and/or the security and/or signaling
and/or control systems set up by the manufacturer.
Interventions on the program of the functioning logic of the machine (even if carried out by qualified
personnel) are also forbidden; in fact, carrying out said interventions could also result in serious
consequences for the safety of the operators.
Please note that the third-party and criminal liability of the manufacturer is forfeited with relation to the parts
of the machine that might be subject to alteration by the purchaser without the manufacturer’s authorization.

FAILURE POSSIBLE CAUSE AND REMEDY

The log is not unloaded onto the Make sure that the wheels of the trays transporting the
unloading plane of the Log Loader log in the previous unit work effectively (skilled
Unit. operators only).
Check whether the log with the line of glue on is
correctly positioned on the tray in order to avoid the log
from getting stuck on the tray.
Make sure that the fixed cam is correctly positioned
(skilled mechanics only).
Check whether the photocells installed on the log loader
planes are positioned correctly (skilled electricians
only).

FAILURE POSSIBLE CAUSE AND REMEDY

unit. their reflectors, work effectively (skilled electricians
only).
Make sure visually that the log infeed plane is not
empty.
Make sure that the torque limiter has not been
activated (skilled mechanics only).

ACCIDENT PREVENTION RULES
Follow the directions given in “SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PREVENTION” section.
Follow the safety procedures of the manufacturing company.

Before cleaning a component, always consult the documentation containing the safety rules related
to the use of detergents.
For safety reasons, the clothing required for cleaning operations shall include a face shield or
goggles, rubber gloves and an apron.
Do not use detergents for belts cleaning.
Always keep plenty of water at your disposal in case of spilling or of a violent reaction of the
substance.
We recommend always following the directions given in the specific safety technical sheet of each
chemical product.
Internal parts are cleaned with machine stopped, without causing risks for the health and safety of
staff in charge of cleaning tasks.
If necessary, disconnect the machine from its electrical and pneumatic sources.

GENERAL CLEANING RULES

Follow the instructions given here below to guarantee a trouble-free and long lasting use of the
machine.

N.B.: These instructions apply to a continuous operation over 24 hours. If the machine is used for
shorter intervals of time, it is necessary to proportionally extend the intervals between scheduled
maintenance operations.

In any case, to keep the machine perfectly efficient, it is necessary to follow some simple general
rules:
 Always keep the machine clean and in order. Paper dust or fragments represent a risk of fire.
 Avoid performing tasks around the machine that entail the production of shavings. If such tasks
must be performed, accurately check that no metal fragment is left on the machine’s organs.
 To remove dried paper and glue accumulations, we recommend the use of hot water.

By making use of good vacuum cleaners the machine can be cleaned completely and
carefully.

N.B.: Do not use compressed air jets!
