Level the working surface of the machine, using shims under the feet if necessary. Ensure there is adequate ventilation and lighting at the workplace. Avoid draughts, in order to prevent uneven heating.
Operation PREPARATION Clear the working surface. Check that all the heating elements are connected to the control units. Check that no scraps of material remain in the reflectors. Switch off all the control units (position ""). Turn on the main switch (position I). SWITCHING ON HEATING ELEMENTS Each heating element can be switched on and controlled...
Operation SWITCHING ON TRANSPORTSYSTEM Screen buttons[6] Button function Cancel Increase value Decrease value Confirm ► Move right Move down ▼ Move up ▲ Move left ◄ Transport system: Full knob rotation Time (in seconds) Before using the transport system, first turn the speed regulator[5] all the way to the left.
Adjustment SAFETY MEASURES Always take the following safety measures before adjusting the heating elements: Switch off the heating elements one at a time (Switch H, page 10). Clear the working surface. Allow the heating elements to cool for at least 10 minutes. 10 minutes LOWER HEATING ELEMENT Remove the strips of solid core material next to the heating...

Adjustment Loosen the socket head screw in the centre of the heating element one half turn. (Use socket screw key no. 3) Take the heating element with both hands close to the supporting prongs on the left and right and slide it into the desired position. Hold the heating element parallel to the front of the machine and the supporting prongs.
Adjustment LOWER FILAMENT HEIGHT Adjust the height of the filament using the knurled nut. These can be reached from the sides. Make sure that the filament height is the same on both sides. Knurled nut Start up the machine again as in Section 5. STOP Loosen both the handles on the stop one half turn.
Maintenance This machine needs little maintenance. Remove loose dirt out of the machine once in a while. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Switch of all regulating units (switch H). Clear the working surface. Remove the plug from the socket. PROFILES The heating elements work more effectively when they are clean. Remove dirt and deposits from the heating elements regularly.
Tensioning and changing filament SAFETY MEASURES Before tensioning and changing the filament always take the following safety measures: Clear the working surface. Switch off the control units one at a time (switch H). Turn off the main switch Allow the heating elements to cool for at least 10 minutes. 10 minutes TENSIONING Turn the filament to the lowest position.
Tensioning and changing the filament CHANGING Turn the filament to the lowest position. Unscrew socket head screw in the wire pin on the right. (Use socket screw key no.2). On the left side slide the expanding pin with the spring out of the pin block.

Tensioning and changing filament Slide the spring over the filament and slide the filament through to the expanding pin. Slide the filament with expanding pin through the white insulation sleeve of the pin block and pull it through as far as possible. Then insert the end of the filament in the wire pin.
Fuse A maintenance engineer should always be alerted when a fuse blows. Do not replace the fuse until the short circuit has been corrected. SAFETY MEASURES Before replacing a fuse always take the following safety measures: Clear the working surface. Switch the control units off one by one (switch H).
Fuse RESTORING CIRCUIT BREAKER Remove a number of solid core strips in the centre of the machine. The circuit breaker which is at the front of the main switch box is now visible. When the switch is down ("off"), the circuit breaker is switched off. Switch on the circuit breaker by pushing the switch up.
