Statement of Foreseen Use
Your Machine is intended for use in an indoor commercial or industrial environment. Factory-authorized
training is made available for operators at the time of installation. The Insertion Logic technology and all
Haeger machines are designed to operate at voltages ranging between 380-480V and at 50/60Hz with no
additional power requirements. Haeger systems do not produce thermal, biological, fire or radiation
hazards etc. Again, Haeger machines are not intended or designed to be used in hazardous or explosive
environments, exposure to outside elements of weather such as freezing, wet, extreme high
temperatures or extreme dusty environments. See your local representative or visit http://haeger.com
for more details.
Safety Information
This manual contains details on safety when using your new machine. Cautions and warnings are used
throughout this manual to draw your attention to the different safety precautions. The Haeger Safety
System section of this manual, explains the safety features built into the machine that minimizes the
dangers of pinching or crushing while operating the machine. It is recommended that in addition
the safety details in this Haeger insertion machine manual, all customers, create, implement and maintain
their own individual safety codes, policies and procedures.
Customer Service
If your machine malfunctions and you are unable to resolve the problem, field service technicians can be
dispatched to your site to conduct repairs. Service visits are paid for by the customer, either under a
maintenance agreement, by purchase order or prepayment. Time and material rates are charged for any
service not covered under a maintenance agreement. Before calling to report a problem, gather as much
information about the problem as possible and have it ready to provide to your customer care center.
The more information you can provide initially, the more quickly the problem can be corrected.
Responsibilities of the Operator
The machine operator must be properly trained. Haeger provides training for the operator in the use of
the machine and software at the time of installation. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that
only properly trained personnel operate the machine. Operators must be fully versed in its operation. For
any operator unfamiliar with its operation, training is required. Training is available; contact your Haeger
representative. The customer must also ensure that all operators are aware of the safety issues
described in this manual. The operator or other trained personnel are expected to handle all user
maintenance as detailed in the User Manual. If your site has a technician in charge of machine
maintenance, that person is the optimal candidate. While any trained operator may perform routine
maintenance, the best maintenance results from familiarity with the machines internal operation and
history. The machine requires daily maintenance to ensure the highest insertion quality and longer life
for the machine. The machine design provides you easy access to perform this simple task and it is
essential that machine maintenance is performed as described in the “Maintenance Schedule”section of
this manual. It is the responsibility of the operator to try to eliminate simple problems before calling a
service representative. But knowing when to call for service is also important. An untrained operator
must not attempt to service the machine as this may cause further damage. When you have determined
that a service call is required, call as soon as possible. See the Troubleshooting and Maintenance
sections for more details.

Responsibilities of the Service Technician
Field service technicians must have the Model of Machine and InsertionLogic® (if applicable) service
training. The service technician is responsible for all repairs, upgrading and modification requested by
the customer or mandated by the Haeger Service and Support Group. The service technician who
installs the machine will also provide training for the operator that covers all of the basic skills and
safety practices required to operate the machine. Service personnel must be furnished with proper
tools for the installation and maintenance of the machine.
Quality of Parts and Fasteners
Your machine is designed and engineered for high volume installation of self-clinching fasteners of all
types and sizes. As a rule, the “quality”of parts and fasteners is very important to getting the most out
of your Haeger Insertion Machine. The next two paragraphs are general in nature but critical to
maximizing productivity, quality and profit potential.
Fastener Quality Basics: In general, self-clinching fasteners are designed with an annular recess in the
shank that allows the softer metal of your part (work piece) to cold form in and around it and
permanently lock the fastener in place. Inspecting the fasteners on a regular basis and verifying they are
constructed with in design tolerances is very important. With studs and stand-offs, this is especially
critical as they increase in length. We highly recommend coordination between yourself and the fastener
supplier to determine the acceptable dimensional tolerances and force requirements for your particular
application in an effort to achieve consistent quality.
Part Quality Basics: Take special care in inspecting all parts in which the fasteners will be inserted.
Verify the holes in the part meet the required specifications and tolerances. In addition, visually inspect
each part, looking for burrs and irregularities around each hole. Holes out of tolerance, burrs and
irregularities will degrade the fastener’s performance and may cause difficulties during the insertion
process. We also recommend developing a consistent method of handling or holding the part (work
piece) during the insertion process to ensure quality and increase fastener performance long term.
Self-clinching fasteners should be tested to be sure they meet
manufacturer’s published performance data or specifications specific
to the application.
