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, stricter 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 5 Volts and a maximum voltage of 10 Volts.
Depending on the type of needle conguration or brand you use, feel free to adjust the voltage to
obtain your desired performance.
Warning: Exceeding the operating voltage or 10 Volts can damage your machine, cause adverse
operating conditions and void your warranty.
ACCEPTED NEEDLES
Use cartridge needles with an 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
• Xion Mini 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° or 132° C. 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 Grip 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 Motor Housing) 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 voided if motor shows signs of being dropped, internal fluids with in the motor
and/or motor shows signs of being tampered with in any way.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
HANDY TIPS
The following tips will help you get the most out of your Xion Mini 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 10 Volts.
• 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 RCA AIR 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.
