Grumbler in Training
Help me! I work for a “small” picture framing business (I’m the only framer in a high end gallery) and I have realized that the owners expect me to do maintenance on our machines. I cannot do any maintenance on anything ever! I can’t find a way to teach myself more about fixing some of my issues. I am willing to learn but I’m not one to just start taking things apart and I can’t find much on the internet that isn’t just
diagrams of the machine the basics of using it.
My underpinner has been working weird for months, and is now no longer shooting v-nails. The “thing” that pushes them into the moulding is getting stuck and totally missing the v nails. Some will come out and some won’t. I cleaned the glue and stuff out of it but it’s still an issue. We don’t have a warranty and the company we bought it from isn’t interested in coming to look at it. I could probably do minor/regular things to keep the thing working smoothly if only I knew how.
As you can see my terminology is limited so talking on the phone with Fletcher hasn’t been helpful. They are general with their feedback and literally scared to talk to me about a machine that has no warranty. I don’t think the thing is trash but others I have used have come with a big company and a maintenance person to dump these problems on.
So my big questions are
Why aren’t my v nails coming out?
How do I clean the lines/tubes connected to the underpinner? (They are dirty and have some condensation in them could be the problem)
Why does my frontal clamp move in slow motion but only sometimes?
Are there any resources out there than can help me learn to keep my amp in shape?
Is there any hope??
