1、 Preparation before operation

1. Equipment inspection
   • mechanical partsCheck if the cutting tool is sharp, free from cracks or wear, and ensure a secure installation; Check the tension of transmission components (such as belts and chains) to avoid slipping or breakage; Check the oil level and quality of the hydraulic system (if any) to prevent leakage or insufficient pressure.
   • Electrical systemCheck if the power cord is damaged and if the grounding is good; Confirm that electrical components such as control buttons and emergency stop switches are functioning properly to avoid accidents caused by misoperation.
   • safety deviceTest the sensitivity and reliability of safety devices such as protective covers, safety doors, and photoelectric sensors to ensure effective isolation of hazardous areas during equipment operation.
2. Environment and Material Preparation
   • work areaClean up debris around the equipment to ensure smooth passage; Avoid use in damp, flammable, or corrosive environments to prevent electrical failures or material deterioration.
   • Material inspectionConfirm that the size and hardness of the rubber block meet the equipment requirements to avoid tool jamming or equipment overload caused by oversized materials; Check if there are any hard objects such as metal or stones mixed in the materials to prevent damage to the cutting tools.

2、 Safety operation standards

1. personal protection
   • Operators must wear protective equipment such as goggles, cut resistant gloves, and smash resistant safety shoes to prevent splashing rubber fragments or knives from accidentally falling off and causing injury.
   • Long hair needs to be curled up to avoid getting caught up in transmission components; It is prohibited to wear loose clothing or jewelry when operating equipment.
2. Start and Run
   • No-load trial runBefore starting, conduct a no-load test run to observe whether the equipment runs smoothly without any abnormal vibration or noise; Confirm that the tool lifting and advancing/retreating actions are flexible, and the hydraulic system (if any) has stable pressure.
   • Manual mode testAfter using or adjusting parameters, it is recommended to conduct a single cutting test in manual mode to verify the equipment response and cutting effect, and then switch to automatic mode for continuous operation.
   • Prohibit illegal operations：
     • It is strictly prohibited to touch cutting tools, transmission components, or enter hazardous areas while the equipment is in operation;
     • Prohibit overloading operation and avoid cutting thick or hard rubber blocks;
     • If it is necessary to adjust the position of the material during the cutting process, the machine must be stopped and the power must be cut off first. It is strictly prohibited to push or pull the material directly by hand.

3、 Operation monitoring and adjustment

1. Parameter monitoring
   • Real time observation of cutting speed, pressure, temperature and other parameters to ensure they are within the allowable range of the equipment;
   • Pay attention to the oil temperature of the hydraulic system (if any) to avoid excessive temperature that may cause aging of seals or deterioration of hydraulic oil.
2. Tool adjustment
   • Adjust the tool angle and pressure according to the rubber material and cutting requirements to avoid a decrease in cutting quality or increased tool wear caused by improper parameters;
   • Regularly check the wear of cutting tools, promptly grind or replace them, and ensure that the cutting surface is flat and free of burrs.
3. Material positioning
   • Ensure that the rubber block is placed smoothly and aligned with the cutting tool to avoid dimensional deviation or equipment vibration caused by deviation during cutting;
   • Use specialized fixtures or positioning devices to fix materials and improve cutting accuracy and safety.

4、 Maintenance and upkeep

1. Daily cleaning
   • Clean the rubber debris, oil stains, and other impurities on the surface of the equipment after each use to prevent accumulation that affects equipment heat dissipation or corrodes components;
   • When cleaning tools, special tools should be used to avoid scratching the blade surface or damaging the cutting edge.
2. Lubrication management
   • Regularly add lubricating oil or grease to transmission components such as bearings, gears, and guide rails to reduce wear and noise;
   • The hydraulic system requires regular replacement of hydraulic oil and cleaning of the oil tank and filter screen to prevent impurities from entering the system.
3. regular maintenance
   • Develop a detailed maintenance plan to comprehensively inspect and maintain equipment, including electrical systems, hydraulic systems, mechanical structures, etc;
   • When replacing worn parts such as belts, chains, and seals, it is necessary to use original factory accessories or substitute products that meet standards to ensure stable equipment performance.
4. Long term disuse maintenance
   • When the equipment is not in use for a long time, it needs to be cleaned and coated with anti rust oil, and covered with a dust cover;
   • Cut off the power and drain any residual liquid from the hydraulic system (if any) to prevent component corrosion or freezing.
