Visual inspection
Do not use any oil or grease!
The upper (32f) and lower part (32g) of
the clock spring contact are clipped together
and can only be separated by the effect of
high forces or due to defective assembly. If
the spring contact is assembled incorrectly,
carefully unwind and clip the upper and lower

General
Stepper motors are motors which, like most
electric motors, consist of a fixed stator and a
moveable rotor. The rotary motion is not
continuous, rather the rotor turns in steps, a
certain angle at a time, for example 90°.
Design
The illustration shows the basic design of a
stepper motor with 1 pole pair and 2 phases.
The stator is made of magnetically soft iron
and holds the windings. Opposite windings
belong together and form a phase (in this
case, a and b). The rotor consists of a
permanent magnet. In the illustration the rotor
has 1 pole pair.
Function
The rotor is turned by applying current
through phase aor b (see illustration). The
magnetism in the stator changes according to
the polarization (I) of the phases.
The rotor will turn so that its south pole (S) is at the north pole (N) of
the stator and its north pole (N) is at the south pole (S) of the stator.
The illustration shows a full rotation of the rotor. The rotor moves in
steps of 90° from positions 1 through 4 and back to its starting
position.
Unlike normal electric motors, the motor can stop in each of these
positions with a certain holding torque. This type of motor is therefore
particularly suitable for use as a servomotor for exact positioning.
The size of the steps can be reduced considerably by increasing the
number of pole pairs and phases.
Theoretically, it is even possible to make the steps infinitely small
with just a few poles and phases by using complicated electronic
phase control (sine-cosine control).
Stepper motors (with sine-cosine control) are used, for example, for
pointing instruments in the instrument cluster (A1).

Observe general notes, guidelines and safety precautions for operation of pneumatic tools
contained in the operating instructions, included with the tool kit to avoid hazards and incorrect
operation.
Sharpen blades before use and while cutting with wet whetstone WK8 to obtain best results.
Detach detachable components from front fender, rear fender and tailgate with the following
blades:
-
Blade WK24ZV (5) with adjustment arm WK11B (6) when using pneumatic tool WK10HD
(3).
-
Blade WK24S (1) or WK6 with handle WK7 (2) for manual use.
