manufacturer or its distributor.
> Sign at different place Tips may cause the corresponding damage, should pay special
attention to.
> Controlling pump socket => electric shock hazard.
> Edging area=> physical damage.
> Water supply system => Water pressure in excess of 1 bar is dangerous.

5. DAILY MAINTENANCE OF MACHINERY
5.1 MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
To ensure that your edger is at its best, you must perform several maintenance operations to
achieve the desired results within a range.
> Clean touch screen
> Maintenance of edger
>> Use water spray bottle to clean the edger
>> Regular replacement of movable lens block (every 100 lenses)
>> Regularly check the lens scanning probe, and change the prove once the wear or damage
is found (or replacement per 3000 lenses)
>> Clean the baffle board and replace when necessary.
>> If the machine uses circulating water, replace the water in the tank regularly.
>> Wash the filter and water tank regularly.
>> Check the situation of each piece of grinding wheel. Please replace them under the
technical person instruction when necessary.
Warning:
Disable such products as water or chemical [Link] the stain is difficult to clean For dry
cloth,it can be treated with alcohol. Damage caused by improper maintenance the touch screen,
not within the warranty scope.

5.3 REPLACE REMOVABLE CLAMPS
Note: the lens holder is serrated and the lens probe is sharp. When touching the head and probe,
make sure your hands are protected.
19 mm diameter adaptors
25 mm diameter adaptors
19mm small clamp 25mm big clamp
5.3.1 REPLACE THE RIGHT CLAMP RUBBER PAD
Replace the rubber pad procedure as below:
#2 Remove the old rubber pad from the clamp-on and replace it with a new one;
As below pictures:
- 41 -
5.4 REPLACE LENS FEELER
> Check the lens scanner regularly,change the it once the wear or damage is found(Or replace
every 3,000 lenses).
Dismountable lens feeler Remove the screws and replace the lens feeler
>After the lens feeler is replaced, the lens feeler position needs to be recalibrated.
The calibration probe procedure is as follows:
#1 Enter the
menu >>
#2 Enter setup
interface >>
#3 Enter setup
interface >> >>
#8 Start calibrating
>>
#9 The machine starts the calibration procedure, saves the calibration parameters automatically,
and then takes out the calibration tool when the calibration is completed.

5.5 CLEAN/REPLACE WATER-PROOF COVER
> Before starting any operation, you must ensure that the machine switch is Off: the On/Off
switch is in the Off position and the main power is disconnected.

#2
NOTE:
> Regular cleaning of the cover plate can clearly see the grinding edge chamber and the
processing process;
> The use of circulating water will affect the cleaning level of the water retaining board.
- 43 -
5.6 CLEAN THE FILTER AND WATER TANK
> Before starting any operation, you must ensure that the machine switch is Off: the On/Off
switch is in the Off position and the main power is disconnected.
> Regular cleaning can ignore the number of lenses to be processed, but the manufacturer's
recommendation is to clean about 100 pieces of lens (glass and plastic) per process.
> Gloves and eye masks must be wear-resistant. It's better to wear overalls.
