USER MANUAL
CLASS III SYMBOL
A Class III appliance is designed to be powered by a separated/safety
extra-low voltage (SELV) power source. The voltage from a SELV supply is
low enough that under normal conditions, a person can safely come into
contact with it without risk of electrical shock. The extra safety features
built into Class I and Class II appliances are therefore not required. For
medical devices, compliance with Class III is not considered sufcient
protection. Therefore, more stringent regulations apply to such equipment.

ADJUSTING
NEEDLE
DEPTH
To adjust needle depth, hold the machine body
and MotorBolt while turning
the Grip. A counterclockwise
turn decreases depth, while a
clockwise turn increases depth
(also known as needle hang).
Each time you turn the grip it
allows you to set your needle
precisely without involuntarily
turning while tattooing.

VOLTAGE PARAMETERS
While voltage is a parameter that will vary from artist to artist, this machine has been tested
to operate at a minimum voltage of around 4 Volts with a maximum voltage of 9.5 Volts.
Depending on the type of needle conguration or brand you use, feel free to adjust the voltage to
obtain the desired performance.
Note: Exceeding 9.5 Volts is not recommended.
ACCEPTED NEEDLES
Use cartridge needles with internal membrane. This will avoid accidental contamination inside your
machine. Fluids such as ink, water or oil inside the machine will void warranty of the device, and may
require replacement of internal parts.
MAINTENANCE
• Bellar is sold pre-lubricated from the factory and does not require internal lubrication.
• Prevent any type of external elements from entering inside the machine as they will disrupt the
motion of the component and contaminate lubrication.
• Only the grip of the machine is autoclavable. Use only steam autoclaves at temperatures
no higher than 270° Fahrenheit or 132.222° Celsius. Add a hint of ointment or PTFE grease
around internal opening of grip or on stabilizing friction O-rings for optimal functionality after
autoclaving. Refer to page 5 for additional information.
• Machine Body and MotorBolt can be sanitized from the outside with cold sterilization products.
• Never spray the surface directly to prevent fluids from entering the machine. Always use pads or
disposable paper towels to apply sterilization products.
WARRANTY
• All the housing components (Grip, Machine Body and MotorHousing) are covered by a
lifetime warranty.
• Internal parts are subject to wear and the motor itself will be covered by a 1-year warranty from
the date of purchase.
• Motor warranty is void if motor shows signs of being dropped, internal fluids enter the motor
and/or motor shows signs of being tampered with in any way.

HANDY TIPS
The following tips will help you get the most out of your Bellar and avoid potential issues:
• Always secure your machine. Dropping the machine can cause damage to the magnets, bearings
and motor brushes.
• Use only cartridges with membranes to avoid contamination.
• Do not exceed the suggested voltage.
• Always use power supplies with at least 1Amp of current supply.
• Rinse your needle frequently to avoid pigment drying up and slowing down your cartridges.
• When rinsing your needle, ensure to dip only the tip of the cartridge to avoid fluids back flow.
• Inspect your needles prior to use.
• Use only AIR Mini DC cord. A good connection will ensure consistent performance.
• Avoid scratching the surface of the embodiments.
• Use only FDA-approved cold sterilization solutions for disinfection.
• Do not lubricate machine unless instructed otherwise.
• Store your machine in a secure place.
