1.1 Instructions
Important information and instructions in this documentation are designated as follows:
Danger!
Draws your attention to an exceptionally grave, impending danger to your health or life.
!
Warning!
Indicates a hazardous situation that could lead to injuries or material damage.
!Attention!
Draws attention to possible dangers, material damage or loss of quality.
iNotice!
Gives you tips. They make a working sequence easier or draw attention to important working processes.



Environment!
Gives you tips on protecting the environment.
Handling instruction
Reference to section, position, illustration number or document.
Option (accessories, peripheral equipment, special ttings).
1.2 Intended Use
• The device is manufactured in accordance with the current technological status and the recognized safety rules.
However, danger to the life and limb of the user or third parties and/or damage to the device and other tangible
assets can arise during use.
• The device may only be used for its intended purpose and if it is in perfect working order, and it must be used with
regard to safety and dangers as stated in the operating manual.
• The device is intended exclusively for separating pre-scored PCB's. Any other use or use going beyond this shall
be regarded as improper use. The manufacturer/supplier shall not be liable for damage resulting from unautho-
rized use; the user shall bear the risk alone.
• Usage for the intended purpose also includes complying with the operating manual, including the manufacturer‘s
maintenance recommendations and specications.
iNotice!
The complete documentation can also currently be found in the Internet.
1.3 Safety Instructions
• The device is congured for voltages of 115 or 230 V AC. It only has to be plugged into a grounded socket.
• Hazard by electrical charge. Provide an earthing connection via press stud.
• Only connect the device to other devices which have a protective low voltage.
• Switch off all affected devices (e.g. conveyor belt) before connecting or disconnecting.
• Risk of hand injury. Wear protective gloves while PCB separating.
• Ensure that people‘s clothing, hair, jewelry etc. do not come into contact with the exposed rotating blade.
• In an emergency situation, actuate the emergency stop switch in the control panel by tight pressing. This inter-
rupts the voltage supply to the device.
• The device may only be used in a dry environment, do not expose it to moisture (sprays of water, mists, etc.).
• Do not use the device in an explosive atmosphere.
• Do not use the device close to high-voltage power lines.
• Work going beyond this may only be performed by trained personnel or service technicians.
1 Introduction

5
• Unauthorized interference with electronic modules or their software can cause malfunctions.
• Other unauthorized work on or modications to the device can also endanger operational safety.
• Always have service work done in a qualied workshop, where the personnel have the technical knowledge and
tools required to do the necessary work.
• There are various warning stickers on the device. They draw your attention to dangers.
Warning stickers must therefore not be removed, as then you and other people cannot be aware of dangers and
may be injured.
Danger!
Danger to life and limb from power supply.
Do not open the device casing.
1.4 Safety Marking
1Emergency Switch
Press it in a hazardous situation!
2Risk of hand injury!
Wear protective gloves while PCB separating.
3Possible damage of electronics!
Disconnect the PCB separator from the electrical outlet before mounting or
removing an optional conveyor belt.
4Hazard by electrical charge!
Provide an earthing connection via press stud.

1
Fig. 1 Adjustable platform
The adjustable platform delivered with the machine is designed for use as a hand-rest, easing the placement of the
PCB on the lineal blade. Thereby it is also preventing a possible premature tiring for the user.
1. By turning the knurled screw (2), the platform (1) can be raised or lowered sensitively. Rotating the knurled screw
anti-clockwise will lift up the platform.

iNotice!
The device offers the possibility to separate the circuit board benets in several steps and thus gently.
The cutting is more gentle for the PCB's with a higher number of cuts.
5.3 Switch on
1. Switch on the device by power switch (1). LED home is blinking
iNotice!
Are all connections ready and the device is swiched on and not in function check the emergency swith!
