3.1. Environment conditions

1) Temperature: Normal environment temperature should be within 5(C—40'C.

2) Humidity: 30%—90%.
3) Keep away from gasoline, chemicals, acid and alkali materials, explosives, and
combustibles.
4) Environment illumination: Above 300 LUX
5) Keep away from direct sunlight
6) Keep away from vibrating machines.
7) Avoid direct fan blowing.

3. 3. Steps of installation
1) The first step is to determine the installation position, . After the machine is set,
take the worktable as the level reference to adjust the four level adjusting screws,
set the main machine in a level position.
2) Install the feeding machine, fix it to the left side of the main machine with bołts,
then adjust the two level adjusting screws of the feeding machine, set it in a level
position. For the part connecting with the main machine, the bottom of the feeding
chute and the main machine table should be aligned and kept in a same level.
,
3) Install the push finger chain. Loosen the left handwheel of the feeding machine
and install and connect the push finger chain. Turn the handwheel to adjust the
push finger chain to a proper tension.
4) Connect power supply line. This machine uses single-phase 220V, 50HZ power
supply. Never connect to 380V or other unqualified power supply. Special
all wiring
attention must be paid to this requirement! In order to ensure safety,
work should be carried out by qualified professional ełectricians. Connecting
thręe
cable is attached to the machine. If you use your own power plug, 2.5m m*
(N), and
core cable must be used, correctly connect the live wire(L), the zero wire
the grounded wire (E).

3.4. Switch on the power and test run

.
1) Make sure that the power supply is correct (test L, N with a test pencil)
and
2) Connect all the circuit breakers in the control cabinet, check if all meters
power indicator lamps on the control panel are normal.
3) Press inching button, check if the machine can operate normally.

A full scanning cycle starts from the end of one registration mark and finishes at the end of
another registration mark. Set the value between 0 — 360 to adjust the starting point the cycle.
to ł,
When value is set to 0 or 360, machine performs a full scanning cycle. When value is set
machine skips the first 1/360 of a scanning cycle. When value is set to 90, machine skips the
first 90/360 of a canning cycle. When value is set to 180, machine skips the first 180/360 of a
scanning cycle.

For example, assuming the length between the end of a registration mark to the end of another
registration mark is 100mm: when the scan mark value is 90, machine skips the first 25mm
between two registration marks; when the scan value is to 180, machine skips the first 50mm
between two registration marks. Adjust the scan mark value to avoid machine malfunctioning
due to printing errors.

is
Fans or blowers can collect dirt on their blade and protective guards, and this
particularly true when they have been over lubricated.
y
Chains and sprockets are normally coated with a thin coat of oil, so they have atendenc
to collect any dust that is in the area.

Daily cleaning of some parts of the machine and weekly cleaning of the rest should
prevent any accumulation of foreign matter that would cause a problem.

Lubrication

E$The machine”*s lubrication schedule should be followed cłosely, and onły the approved
lubricants should be used. Lubrication is essential for machine operation; but too much
lubrication can be as bad, if not worst, than too little. If the lubrication is too light gr
applied too infrequently, the machine will not get the protection it needs and may wear
excessively. Oil or grease that is too heavy or applied in too great a quantity can
interfere with the machine”'s operation and cause the collection of dirt and dust. AJI
excess lubrication should be removed promptly.
