QUICK GUIDE
At the beginning of the working day
Check that the nozzle center is clean.•
(Without humidier system) Check that the sponge is clean and saturated; if it is necessary to saturate, use •
only appropriate liquid (the choice of the liquid depends on the nature of the colorants, and must be done
directly by the manufacturer of the products used).
(With humidier system for water-based colorants) Check that the water in the bottle is not below the mini-•
mum level.
Carry out system Initialization and Purge.•
Things to remember
Never let the machine OFF.•
In the canisters, stirring of each colorant takes place automatically (stirring times can however be•
customized).
Be careful not to ll the canisters with too much colorant. In case of overlling, act as indicated in the user’s •
manual.
The colorant to be poured inside the canisters must be stirred manually. Do not use automatic shakers.•
Close the canisters with their lids right after lling operations.•
Remember to update accordingly the canisters lling levels via the management software.•
(Without humidier system) The sponge must be saturated at least twice a week (the frequency of interven-•
tion is indicative, since it depends on the nature of colorants and the environment conditions).
(With humidier system for water-based colorants) Top up the water bottle as soon as the minimum level is •
reached. Do not exceed the maximum level.
At the end of the working day
Rell the canisters.•
Update the canister lling levels in the management software.•
Shut down the computer. Do not shut off the machine.•

COMPULSORY
Read the user’s manual carefully before carrying out any operation on the machine.•
The machine must be used only for its intended purpose.•
Pay close attention to the signs on the machine.•
The substances that may be used on the machine -- such as colorants, paints, solvents, lubricants and•
cleansers -- may be hazardous to your health; handle, store and dispose of these substances in keeping
with current regulations and the instructions provided with the product.
Only qualied and appropriately trained personnel (MAINTENANCE TECHNICIANS) are authorized to access •
the machine parts protected by panels for maintenance and repair interventions.
During routine maintenance operations, scrupulously follow the safety instructions given in the correspond-•
ing chapters before accessing the dangerous area.
PROHIBITED
The OPERATOR must not carry out operations reserved to the MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN. The manufac-•
turer CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE for damages deriving from the non-observance of this prohibition.
It is strictly forbidden to bypass or disable the protections and any safety devices present on the machine.•
The panels must be kept closed at all times.•
THE MACHINE IS NOT EXPLOSION-PROOF AND MUST NOT BE USED IN AREAS AT RISK FOR •
EXPLOSION.
Do not stare the light source of the Laser Bung Hole Locator (Class II laser product).•
If the machine catches re, • never use water. Use only dry powder or carbon dioxide re extinguishers, and
strictly follow the instructions and warnings indicated by the manufacturer and listed on the extinguisher.
ELECTRICAL DANGER
In the event of a sudden power outage, when power returns the machine will automatically be switched on•
to allow the automatic processes to prevent products from drying out.
The machine must not be powered by a power source having specications other than those listed on the •
identication plate.
Incorrect grounding may lead to the risk of electrical shock; always plug the machine into a socket that •
ensures proper grounding. The line must be protected from overloads, short-circuits and direct contacts ac-
cording to current accident prevention regulations.
To prevent any risk of electric shock or injuries, the machine must be used indoors only.•
Always unplug the power supply cable from the socket outlet before carrying out any maintenance•
operations.
The machine is isolated from the power supply line when the power cable is disconnected; it must therefore •
be installed near an easily accessible mains socket outlet.
Do not use extension cords to power the machine.•
Do not use multisockets to connect other equipment to the same socket that powers the machine.•
Periodically check the condition of the power supply cable; if it is damaged, replace it with a new cable sup-•
plied by the manufacturer.
