"Safety Precautions" describes the precautionary items that should be kept to prevent
personal injury or property damage beforehand and use these products safely.
Before using these products, please understand the contents of the following
safety precautions.
1. About Safety Precaution Labels
The safety precautions are expressed, using the combinations of safety alert symbols
" " and headwords such as "WARNING", or "CAUTION" according to the degree of
danger.
Please fully understand the meaning of each precautionary item for safety purposes.
The safety alert symbols " " are used to indicate a potential personal injury
hazard.
Please pay attention to all safety messages that follow the safety alert symbols to avoid
any possibility of injury or death.
A precautionary item identified as " CAUTION" may also lead the operator to
reach a serious result. To avert a serious result, please respect the described
cautions.
This indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if
not avoided, may result in property damages.
CAUTION
WARNING This indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if
not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

2. Common Precautionary Items
Basic Precautions
zOnly a well-trained person should perform the splicing operation.
Do not allow any untrained person to perform the splicing operation.
Mishandling of the operation can cause personal injury.
zBefore performing the splicing operation, please read this instruction manual carefully
for correct operation.
zAfter reading, please keep this instruction manual in a safe place and within reach.
zFollow the instructions in this instruction manual for correct splicing operation.
zBe sure to fully understand the contents of the safety instructions in this instruction
manual and follow these instructions.
zPlease keep to the precautionary items as labeled on the machines (5588 series) or as
described in the instruction manual.
When the precautionary items are ignored, it will result in personal injury or property
damage (damage to the machine).
zDo not use the tape cutting jig except for the splicing operation.
Do not use the tape cutting jig to cut any chip component.
Doing otherwise may cause a chip on a blade or deformation of the pilot pin, which
would result in inaccuracy of tape splicing caused by a tape cutting error and so cause
tape feed error in the tape feeder.
zDo not modify the tape cutting jig or use any parts other than the specified ones.
Doing otherwise may cause personal injury.
zDo not perform any operation other than those described in this instruction manual.
Whenever a problem arises, regarding the machine (5588 series) operation, perfor-
mance, etc., please contact the marketing department Universal Instrument Corpora-
tion for the solution.

Basic Precautions (continued)
zAlthough the precautionary items, on the machine (5588 series) or in this instruction
manual, have been reviewed repeatedly, an incident far beyond any expectation may
occur.
Not only follow the precautionary instructions described in this instruction manual but
also try to perform the splicing operation as carefully as you can at all times.
Be sure to strictly keep the above-mentioned instructions.
Otherwise, wrong operation by the machine as well as personal injury will result.

Safety Precautions
Notes on Machine Operations
0507-003 7
CAUTION
The cutter blade in the tape cutting jig is very sharp, take the
greatest care not to get injured.
Also, take care not to catch your finger in the spring section.
When the tape is to be cut off by using the tape cutting jig, set
the tape on the pilot pins and hold it securely with your thumb
and the forefinger; then cut off the tape slowly and carefully so
as not to cut your finger.
When the tape cutting jig is not to be used, lock it with the lock
lever while the cutter blade is closed, and keep it in a specified
place.
If, because of a chip on the cutter blade in the tape cutting jig, the tape
cannot be cut easily, unusually strong force is required to cut off the
tape, which may cause personal injury.
In such a case, purchase a new tape cutting jig.
WARNING
Only a well-trained person should operate the machine. (5588
series)
Do not allow any untrained person to perform the splicing opera-
tion.
The splicing operation is performed while the machine is run-
ning.
Keep yourself (including all parts of your body and clothing) and
other objects away from any moving mechanism within the area
for the splicing operation.
If there is any problem with the machine, locate the cause and
survey the circumstances.
Turn off the power supply if necessary.
After the problem has been rectified completely, reset the ma-
chine to its normal condition.

Notes on Machine Operations (continued)
If the tape feeder is dropped, it might injure your foot or the
feeder itself be damaged.
Handle one by one carefully and take care not to drop.
When the green lamp of the machine (GXH series) light tower is ON
or flickering (ON and OFF), it indicates that the static machine is in
the "Automatic" mode (standby mode).
No person other than the machine operator is allowed to enter the
work area.
In case of a disaster of any kind, earthquake, storm, flood, fire, or
lightning, immediately stop the machine and turn off the power supply.
CAUTION
CAUTION
Make sure the suppressor is securely engaged with the end hook of the
tape feeder.
When the machine (GXH series) stops due to a component pickup
error, be sure to remove the mispicked component from the feeder and
start the automatic operation.

1. Scope
1. Scope
The taping components can be supplied to the tape feeder without stopping
automatic operation by splicing during operation.
2. Preparation of Splicing
When the splicing operation is to be performed, the splicing setting in the
machine body is required before beginning the splicing operation.
The tape cutting jig and splicing tape are required for the splicing operation.
The selection of the splicing tape depends on the tape width for the taping.
•Tape Cutting Jig with a Mirror
G-S037-02 : For a tape of 8 to 32 mm width
•Splicing Tape
G-S038-01 : For a tape of 8 mm width
G-S038-02 : For a tape of 12 mm width
G-S038-03 : For a tape of 16 mm width
G-S038-04 : For a tape of 24 mm or more width
When the splicing of tape of 12 or 16 mm width is performed, backing
tape is required.
For tape of 12 and 16 mm width : 10896-96-430

4.2 Splicing Operation
•Before using the tape cutting jig, make sure that there is no
dust or debris on the cutter blades.
If there is any debris or dust on the cutter blades, remove it by
blowing air or with a cotton swab.
If there is any debris or dust on the cutter blades, such debris
or dust may attach to the tape and the adhesive force of the
splicing tape may be reduced.
•Do not use old splicing tape.
The adhesive force might be reduced.
•Always fold the splicing tape along the perforations.
Doing otherwise may cause the splicing tape to swell out from
the tape edge and so lead to tape feeding error of the tape
feeder.
•Do not use the tape cutting jig except for the splicing operation.
Do not use the tape cutting jig to cut any chip component.
Doing otherwise may cause a chip on a blade or deformation
of the pilot pin, which would result in inaccuracy of tape splic-
ing caused by a tape cutting error and so cause tape feed error
in the tape feeder.
