1. Preface
Thank you very much for purchasing the V-cut solder machine.
The V-cut solder machine is effective to prevent solder balls & flux scattering by
making V-groove onto a solder wire.
If your solder wire originally have solder ball prevention effect, this machine
may not provide you with a sufficient effect.
Read below “ 2. Notes for safety ”before use.
Keep this manual after read.
2. Notes for safety
Be sure to read this manual before use the machine.
Never touch the power cable or plug with wet hands.
Never dampen the machine with water or liquid.
Keep the power cable or plug away from flammable materials.
Do not overhaul this machine.
For the replacement of the parts, use the genuine parts only.
！
CAUTION !

3. Notes for installation and use
For safety, make sure to observe the following matters.
This machine is designed with ground specification. For safety, be sure to use a
grounded electrical outlet.
If you do not have such outlet, install it separately.
Do not place where the machine would be exposed such as too much moisture,
direct sunshine, much dust and vibration.
Be sure to pull out the power plug when the machine is not used.
Be sure to grab the power plug when plugging or unplugging.
Please check your using voltage before use.
Before adjustment and cleaning of V-blade, Guide pulley and so on, be sure to
turn the power off and pull out the power plug from the electrical outlet.
Do not use the machine for purpose other than the original purpose.
Never touch V-blade during operation.
Please use single-core solder wire in order to obtain sufficient effect.
Be sure to make V-groove just before the soldering work in order to obtain
sufficient effect.

(C) How to set up
1) Connect the power cable to the V-cut
solder machine.
2) Set the solder wire reel to the reel
holder.
Conform each diameter of the solder
wire and the guide pulley is the same.
3) Remove a cushioning material
before use .

6
(D) How to use
Insert the power plug into the receptacle and turn on the switch.
1) Feed the solder wire into the
solder guide.
2) Lead the solder wire along the groove
of the guide pulley and V-blade little
by little by pressing the foot switch.
Feed the solder wire by pressing the foot switch.
3) The V-grooved solder wire will
come out by pressing the foot switch.

5. How to maintenance
( A ) How to check Depth of V-groove
1) Cut a V-grooved solder wire vertically
into 4 pieces by 2 cm intervals.
When cutting, place the V-grooved
section to topside so that it will be
easier to observe it..
2) Observe each cut section with a lupe
whether it looks almost the same as
below fig. “ GOOD “.
V-groove cut section
GOOD
TOO SHALLOW
TOO DEEP
※Too shallow
V-groove obtain less effect of prevention of solder balls and flux scattering.
※Too deep
It makes flux residues stick to V-blade, and then V-blade gets deteriorated easily.
In addition, solder wire may possibly twist around V-blade.
It cause the damage of both of V-blade and guide pulley.
※Please adjust depth of V-groove flexibly. Appropriate adjusting position will depend on the type
of solder wire, flux size and so on.
It is better to adjust it after using with checking the solder ball scattering.

8
(B) How to adjust Depth of V-groove
1) Remove the housing cover by loosening
the screw.
2) Adjust the upper housing position to meet
below conditions:
※V-groove is too shallow:
Set the housing lower.
※V-groove is too deep:
Set the housing upper.
Once the position is fixed, tighten each
screw alternately
3) Observe the cut section with a lupe.
4) Replace the housing cover back and
tighten the screw.

( C ) Replacement parts
(C-1) V-blade
1) Remove the housing cover by loosening
the screw.
2) In order to remove the V-blade from the
upper housing, loosen the adjuster screws
alternately until having enough space
between the V-blade and the guide pulley.
3) Hold the V-blade shaft with a wrench A
and the V-blade holder with a wrench B.
Remove a cover nut of the V-blade holder
while pushing each wrench in the direction
of the arrows.
Remove the V-blade and exchange with
a new one.
4) Fix the new V-blade firmly while pushing
each wrench in the direction of the arrows.
5) Follow the step 2) ~ 5) on the page 8.

(C-2) Guide pulley
1) Remove the housing cover by loosening
the screw.
2) In order to remove the guide pulley from
the lower housing, loosen the adjuster
screws alternately until having enough
space between the V-blade and the guide
pulley.
3) Remove the needle shaft spring first.
Refer to P.11
4) Hold the guide pulley shaft with a wrench
A and the guide pulley holder with a
wrench B.
Remove a cover nut of the guide pulley
holder while pushing each wrench in the
direction of the arrows.
Remove the guide pulley and exchange
with a new one.
5) Fix the new guide pulley firmly while
pushing each wrench in the direction of
the arrows.

6) Put back the needle shaft spring.
Refer to P.11.
7) Follow the step 2) ~ 5) on the page 8.
※Each solder wire has an suitable needle shaft spring and a guide pulley by its diameter. When
you exchange solder wire size, please exchange a guide pulley or a needle shaft spring accordingly.
(C-3) Needle shaft spring
1) Hold a screw of the needle shaft spring
with a screw driver.
Loosen a nut with a wrench and remove
it from the lower housing.
2) Attach a new needle shaft spring.
Make sure to insert the edge of the
spring into a small hole on the lower
housing.
3) Hold a screw of the needle shaft spring
with a screw driver.
Tighten a nut with a wrench firmly.
Make sure that the needle must
be placed into the groove of the
guide pulley.

12
(C-4) Solder guide
1) Loosen a screw of the solder guide
holder with a hexangular wrench and
remove the solder guide.
2) Attach a new solder guide.
The solder guide should be aligned to
the groove.
Tighten a screw of the guide holder.
