2 Installation
2.1 Installation Position Requirements
Theminimumspacerecommendedmustbesufficienttokeepthat
safetyspaceinalldirectionsfortheoperatortoworkproperly.
2.2 Pneumatic Installation
Themachinehasanairinletvalve,typequickactingcoupler(ISO6150-
Bstandard)8mm,locatedonthebackofthemachine.
Foranoptimaloperation,thesupplyofcompressedairshouldbe6kg/cm2,adjusted
withapressuregaugethatcustomer’swillhaveinstalledonitscompressor.
2.3 Transport
Ifitisnecessarytotransportthemachineagainafteritsinstallationandthecustomerdoesnot
havetheoriginalpackaging,weadvicetouseareinforcedpackage(woodorcardboard).
2.4 And Holding The Box Firmly
Beforeanyoperationwiththeequipment,themachinemustbeproperlyfixedtothebench
(fromthecustomer)with4xM8screws(8.8quality),washersandself-lockingnuts.
2.5 Learning Instructions
ThefollowingsetofinstructionsandwarningsaboutEMBLEMEasy
AIRPRESSStandardshouldalwaysbetakeninaccount:
Beforeconnectingthemachinetothecompressorortocustomer’s
pneumaticinstallation,itshouldbeplaceonitspermanentlocation.
• Thecleaning,handlingorreplacementofpartsshould
alwaysbemadewiththeairinletvalveshut.
• Donotremovefromthemachinethesafetydevices,stickers
orwarningsignsthatpointoutdangerousareas.
• Themachinehasanairinletvalvetomanuallyopenandclosetheairsupplyto
thepneumaticcylinder“F”(Fig.1);Whenthemachineisnotinuse,itshouldbe
shut(seeFig.5),toavoidaccidentswhenusebyathirdparty.Wealsosuggest
disconnectingthehosepipefromthecompressorforsafetyreasons.

4. Machine Operation
4.1 Machine Description
Thismachinehasbeendesignedtoseteyelets(grommets)withwashers,feeding
themachinebyhand,onPVCcoatedmaterialandingeneraltermsonplasticized
fabricswithastrengthof0,3-1,2mm.Themaximumcuttingdiameteris11mm.
Themachinecutsthematerialandsetstheeyeletinjustoneoperation.
DataplotGmbHdisclaimsanyresponsibilitywhenusingthemachinefor
differentusesthantheonescoveredonthisoperatingmanual.
4.2 Checking The Machine Before Starting
Beforestartingthemachineforthefirsttime,orwhenthelocationofthe
machineischanged,oradjustmentsorpartreplacementsaremade,weadvice
customerstocheckthatthemachinehasnotsufferedabloworbreakage.
4.3 Eyelet (Grommet) Setting
a)Checkthattheairinletvalve“F”isonOPENposition(Fig.14).
b)Placetheeyelet(grommet)“O”gentlythroughthepuncher“C”ofthetopdie“D”checking
thatitstaysfirmlyonthejunctionareapuncher/topdie.

themomentthemachinewillbereadytosetanothereyelet.
4.4 Other Machine Applications
Tocutholesonthematerial,withoutsettingeyelets,itwillnotbenecessarytoinstall
specifictooling;itwillbepossibletomakeitwiththesameonesusetosettheeyelets.

Seechapter5Adjustments,section5.4.OnlyCutting.
WARNING: This machine should not be used for a different purpose than the
one originally manufactured for and specified on this operating manual: To
set eyelets (grommets) with washers, to cut holes on PVC coated material
and in general terms on plasticized fabrics of the printing industry.

5. Adjustments
5.1 Warnings About The Adjustments
Partsthatshouldbereplacedonaregularbasisduetonormalwherearethe
cuttingorbottomdie“E”andsettingontopdie“D”.Wewillseethattheparts
needtobereplacedwheneitherthecuttingorthesettingisnotaccurate.We
alwaysrecommendhavingasparesetofthesepartsonyourstock.

Whenmakingadjustmentsifbyanyreasonitisnecessarytoremove
partsmeantforoperatorsafety(cover,stainlesssteelplate...)remember
toputthembackwheretheybelongandfastenthemfirmly.
WARNING: Shut the general air inlet valve “F” (see Fig. 1) to change dies,
make adjustments, install optional equipment or any other handling.
5.2 Dies Changing For Same Dimension Eyelet – Washer
ThemachineEMBLEMEASYAIRPRESSStandardsetseyeletssetson
differentmaterialsandthicknessesinarangeof,03-1,2mm.
However,althoughitworkswithdifferenttypesofmaterials,itwillnotrequire
anyadjustments(neithercuttingorsetting);justfollowtheguidelinesonthis
sectiontoinstallproperlythediesavoidingbreakageofthecuttingarea.
WARNING: To change the setting dies it will be necessary at some point to connect
the air hosepipe to the compressor and open the air inlet valve “F” (see Fig. 1).
5.3 Guidelines to install the cutting and setting dies:
Thismachineismainlycomposedoftwoverticalshaftsonthefront;ontopistheshaftthat
holdsthesettingortopdie“D”andthebottomtheshaftholdingthecuttingorbottomdie“E”.

5.3 Cutting And Setting Adjustments
Itisnotnecessarytomakeanyadjustments,justfollowthestepsonchapter5.1.

6. Maintenance
6.1 Mechanical Parts Of The Machine
Foranoptimumoperationofthemachinewerecommendtokeepcleancertainpartsofthe
machine.Thecleaningshouldbedonewiththemachinedisconnected
fromtheairsupplyandwitharagthatwillleavenothreads.
Itisveryimportantforthecorrectholdingoftheeyeletonthetopdiethat
theareawherethepunchertouchesthetopdie(seeFig.23)iscompletely
freeofthreadsordust,asotherwisetheeyeletwillcomeoffeasily.
This area
must be
keep clean
of threads
Fig. 24
Howoftenyouwillneedtocleanthisareawilldependofthe
numberofeyeletssetandthetypeofmaterialbeingcut.
Whenthemachineisgoingtobealongperiodwithnousewerecommendto
disconnectitfromthecompressor,cleanitandcoverittoavoidhumidityanddust.
6.2 Pneumatic Parts Of The Machine
Thepneumaticpartsofthemachinedonotneedaspecificmaintenance.
Themachinemustbeconnectedtoanaircompressororpneumaticcircuitwith
airfilterandpressuregaugetohaveaconstantpressureof6kg/cm2.

8. Safety
8.1 Safety Devices
Themachinehasarangeofprotectiondevicestopreventoperator(exceptonmaintenanceor
repairs)fromaccessingdangerousareaswherehecanbeinjured.
Thedangerouspartofthemachineisthesettingarea“X”,where
operatorhastheriskofcrushinghisfingersorhands.
