Basic information about servicing and maintenance work
• Always turn off the machine and disconnect the power supply before
undertaking any maintenance work.
Warning!
All cables designated , and all cables with orange cladding will
remain live even after turning off at the main switch!
• Once the plant is turned off, prevent it from being turned back on
again by blocking the relevant main switch. If necessary, warning
signs should also be put up at the main switches to alert others to
maintenance work in progress.
• Due to the need for special tools, we recommend that maintenance
and lubrication work be carried out by the POLAR After-Sales Ser-
vice.
• The product recommendations contained in these operating
instructions, e.g. for oils and greases, may be regarded as up-to-date
at the time of going to press.
We cannot guarantee either the correctness or completeness of
these instructions. The user is responsible for ensuring compliance
with all the applicable laws and regulations before using these
products. To ensure this, the relevant technical and safety data

Polar will not be held responsible for any kind of damage or injury
due to failure to comply with the descriptions provided by the
various manufacturers, or due to the risks associated with the nature
of the product
• Compliance must be assured with the legislation on electrical plants
or systems, hydraulic and/or pneumatic equipment as applicable in
the country of use.
• In the event of defective safety equipment, e.g. safety light barriers,
protective covers, etc., the machine/system must be taken out of
operation and repaired immediately.
• All safety signs on the machine/system must be in impeccable and
easily identifiable condition. Replace safety signs if this is not the
case.
• Proceed as follows if maintenance work necessitates stepping onto
individual system components, e.g. lubrication of gripper
components on the
cutting machine rear table or conveyor lines:
Before stepping onto conveyor units, pallets or cutting machine rear
table:
Cover surfaces to be stepped on with cardboard and secure
cardboard in place with adhesive tape.
Warning! Slippery underfooting: Risk of slipping!
After finishing the works:
Totally remove cardboard and adhesive tape as well as any remains
of adhesive tape from the surfaces.
• For lubrication dismantle any guards at the guide units. Assemble
the guards immediately after the maintenance work has been
performed (Safety!).
• After lubrication:
Use a rag to remove any excessive lubricant (greases, oils)
completely which seeps out, especially above the table surfaces that
contact the material to be cut.
• The specified maintenance intervals are based on an operating time
of 8 hours / day. For multi-shift operation the maintanance intervals
need to be adapted correspondingly.
