CHAPTER 3
OPERATION
PLEASE NOTE:
Before use, it is necessary to ensure that all hex bolts
are in place and have been manually tightened using
the supplied hex key. The press head must also be
tightened using the claw wrench.
3.1 START-UP
-
Makes sure that the main switch is in the ‘OFF’ position.
Connect the plug to an earthed wall socket.
Please note! To ensure safety and to prevent damage to the machine,
it is absolutely essential that the machine is connected to a suitably
earthed wall socket. If you are in doubt, have it checked by a
competent technician.
-
Depending on the model, attach the plug belonging to the
press head
heating cuff to the connector on the press head and make sure that it fits
securely: Push the plug onto the connector (PLEASE NOTE! It only fits
when inserted in a certain way) and carefully turn the ring on the plug in a
clockwise direction.
-
Make sure that the ‘EMERGENCY STOP’ button is released and
deactivated. Otherwise, the machine will not start!
-
Depending on the model, connect the cooling system inlet and outlet
hoses, but wait until the extruder has warmed up before activating the
cooling system.
The
‘main switch’
activates the machine and will make the display light up and flash
the set revolution speed.
-
Depending on the model, the machine will now warm up the press head.
The indicator lamp will glow red to indicate that the heating has been
activated. Once this lamp turns green, the press head is fully heated. You
should, nonetheless, wait a further fifteen minutes to ensure that it is
heated throughout. Fill the feeder funnel with the soap product and close
the funnel lid by pressing its metal lip firmly into the groove. This lid will
only fit in a single position.
