Troubleshooting and machine handling


Before contacting us in case of malfunction please check your machine is not the cause of the issue. You can do this by checking with another power supply and testing that power supply with another machine to see if the problem is somewhere else. Coils and capacitors do not burn out except under extreme stress or a short circuit. Please check other sources of the problem before tampering with the machine.
Avoid dropping the machine or transporting it without an appropriate case – a machine is made of several components and inappropriate handling can lead to a change in the alignment of these which in turn change the way the machine works.

Avoid cleaning with wet or abrasive liquids such as sprays and polishing materials. Remember this is an electrical circuit and should only be cleaned with a damp cloth with no abrasive products as it may also ruin the finish. Use machine protective bags to avoid ink spray and cross contamination

The contact screw can become dirty over time. This may be one of the causes of the machine not working properly. Please clean the contact point with light sandpaper to remove any impurities that make the circuit not work properly. Please bear in mind this may require an adjustment in the height of the contact screw. Please contact us for advice if you’re unsure.

The manufacturer can not be held responsible for bad handling resulting in breakage and changes in alignment of the parts. Any tampering with the tuning is of the responsibility of the owner

Avoid using connections to the mains on the power supply that may be unstable. Choose to use a surge protected circuit for your safety and of the power supply and machines. Please follow the recommended voltage to avoid damaging the machine.

No cables in the circuit should be exposed as this may lead to short circuiting. Make sure any connections are kept in good shape by not altering the arrangement or change of parts. Any light handling of the cables can cause breakage or damage in the sleeve of the wire. Please keep them in good shape.

Springs and contact screws can suffer deterioration over time. Replacements can be bought from our website or by contacting us directly with your request.

This machine is tuned for optimal performance and should be used under the manufacturers guidelines. It is a sensitive beast and needs to be handled with care. We understand that set ups may vary person to person. Before making any changes to this, please make sure you are aware of how the machine works
as this will change the way it behaves.
