Introduction
Before using the machine for the first time, get acquainted with the
functions of the machine and be informed about the correct operation
with electrical appliances. Read the following operating instructions.
Follow the instructions in the manual. When handing over the machine
to third parties, include all documentation.
Using the applicator
The machine is designed to apply one or two self-adhesive labels (front side and back side) on
cylindrical containers of different diameter and length, with smooth walls. Labels should be on one roll, and in
case of front and back labels - arranged in the correct order.
Place the container horizontally on the machine shafts, between the detents. Press the start button or
foot petal. The machine adheres the label as it rotates the container. After stopping the rotation, the label is
applied and the container is removed from the machine manually.
Any other use is considered unlawful and generates significant risks of accident. The manufacturer
accepts no responsibility for faults and damages caused by incorrect use of the applicator.
The electrical protection of the machine is accomplished by protective sheath of the current-carrying
parts and by grounding of the metal housing. This requires the use of a straight electrical outlet (socket).
Overcurrent protection is provided by fuses built into the machine. Their replacement should by performed
qualified personnel. Attention!
Do not place any larger or smaller containers on the machine
other than those specified in the technical data! Do not use
damaged containers or containers that have irregular shapes.
There is a danger of being injured.
Do not label full containers which are not properly sealed!
There is a danger of electric shock!
Do not use labels with size beyond those specified in the
specifications! Feed with labels and maintain and clean the
machine only when the power is off!
Do not cover the ventilation openings of the machine! Be careful not to
spill liquid on the machine!
Do not insert objects into the openings of the machine! There is a
danger of electric shock!
Do not place your hand or fingers on the shafts of the machine! There is a
danger of injury!
Attention!
In case of electric shock, immediately disconnect the power
cable from the machine.

- Do not use the appliance in humid conditions.
- Do not use the appliance in places where there is a risk of fire or explosion.
- Keep bystanders, especially children, away from the equipment
when it is running.
- Do not use the appliance for purposes other than those intended.
- Do not use the cord to pull the plug from the wall socket. Protect the
cable from heat and sharp objects.
- Carefully maintain your device.
- If you do not use the applicator, disconnect the power cable.
- Do not use the applicator if the power switch or power cable is damaged.
- Only use a grounded AC power cable.
- Inspect the machine for any damage. Check that the moving parts function as
designed and that there are no damaged parts. All parts must be installed correctly
and meet all conditions to ensure proper operation. Damaged safety components and
parts must be repaired or replaced by a certified technician, unless otherwise stated
in the instructions of the operation manual. Damaged circuit breakers must be
replaced by a certified electrician.
Specific safety instructions.
The container to be labeled is inserted and removed manually. The labeling
procedure is started by pressing the built-in 'Start' button, or by an external start pedal
connected to the device.
- Do not insert an item while the applicator rollers are moving.
- Do not start the machine with a container incorrectly installed.

Operating instructions
Attention!
Every operator working with the label applicator should become
acquainted with this user manual.
Setup
The machine should be placed on a flat, horizontal surface larger than its base. You
should provide space around the machine for maintenance servicing and handling.
From the kit supplied with it, a power cord is connected to the supply socket and also a
'start pedal' is connected to an external start coupling.
Preparing the applicator
The orientation of container (left - right) depends on the direction of the printed labels. The height of
the clamping mechanism and the position of the support shaft are adjusted according to the diameter
of the container. Adjust the detents (stoppers) so that the container is in the middle of the work area.
The roll is affixed to the label roller stand so that the labels face the adhesive zone. The position of
the roll is fixed by the two magnetic stoppers (detents). The brake is positioned in the middle of the
roll.
The pressure shaft is 'unlocked' by moving it forward. The label roll is loaded according to the picture
below. The sensor is positioned so that the label roll fully covers the sensor area (narrow gap).
Sensor set up is carried out on page 13. The beginning of the label (front - for two labels) is
positioned next to the peeling edge. The pressure shaft is 'locked'. Label tape drivers are positioned
and fixed to the edges without squeezing it.
The Stoppers (detents) are installed to allow for the maximum size container. If a container smaller
than 60mm is used, the stoppers can be adjusted, to allow for this.
1. Remove the thumb screws. There are two washers under the thumb screw. Be careful not to
misplace the washers.

2. Lift the stoppers to remove them. There will be washers on the bolts. Leave these in place.
3. Install the stoppers, reversing their position. The tabs will be on the inside. Install the
washers.
4. Install the thumb screws.
