Operating a pile machine requires thorough preparation and adherence to safety protocols. Operators must complete professional training to fully grasp the machine's structure, operational principles, and maintenance techniques. Only certified operators are permitted to handle these machines. Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for using components like power devices, winches, hydraulic systems, and electrical systems.
Electrical issues should always be addressed by qualified electricians. Test drives, installations, and dismantling processes should strictly adhere to the manual’s instructions. In adverse weather conditions—such as thunderstorms, heavy rain, snow, fog, or wind speeds exceeding six on the Beaufort scale—operations must cease. If winds reach force seven or higher, or if a typhoon warning is issued, the pile machine should be positioned facing the wind, with the pile pipe buried at least three meters deep into the soil, or the vibrator placed on the ground. Additionally, wind-resistant cables should be installed. If needed, lower the frame. Lightning strikes pose a significant risk; ensure all personnel stay clear of the pile driver during storms.
Before starting any shift, conduct an empty run to verify the machine's functionality. Only proceed once everything checks out. When using a pile clamp, secure the pile first and do not release the clamp until the task is complete. Stop the vibration hammer before releasing the clamp. Always have a dedicated individual guiding the machine during movement, rotation, or adjustments.
The machine should rotate gradually and perform continuous actions in the same direction for no more than a full revolution. Simultaneous actions like lifting the vibration hammer, moving materials, or walking should be avoided. Overloading is strictly prohibited, and operators must remain at their stations. Immediate shutdown is required for maintenance under certain conditions, such as parts falling off the columns, loose bolts in the vibration hammer motor, or electrical/hydraulic malfunctions.
If the vibration damper's amplitude becomes excessive over time, halt operations to diagnose the issue. While sinking piles, promptly adjust their vertical alignment. Once a pile is embedded three meters deep, avoid using the machine's movement or rotation to correct its posture. For columns that cannot tilt left or right, stabilize both the front and back supports simultaneously when making adjustments.
At the end of each day, either bury the pile pipe in the soil or place the vibration hammer on the ground, then disconnect power to activate all brakes. When idle for extended periods, park the machine on stable, level ground, ensuring the vibration hammer is protected against moisture. When handling pile lifting, confirm the reliability of the hoist drum before proceeding as per procedure. When stationary, the machine should be parked at the center of the track or in a shoe, with the rail clamp engaged.
When disconnecting oil pipes, ensure the joints remain uncontaminated. Proper maintenance and careful handling are essential for safe and efficient operation.
