hours. The charger gets warm during it charges. How many percent are charged you can see
on a display on the backside of the machine.

Bind the screw-cap with the discretion FUSE is a 30A/h glass fuse. Three are in the shipment,
one fuse has to be install to operate the machine. We did that already for you.
Balls
If possible don’t use quite new balls in the first 10 hours. The printer’s ink and the wax film on
the new balls can leave a slippery film on the rubber coating of the throwing wheels. This can
create odd moments ( e.g. two balls are thrown at one time or the precision to the regular ball
placement decreases).New balls can be used after the break in time. In case there are no
used balls available and you have to use new ball from the very beginning, you should then
clean after ten hours the throwing wheels as decrypted in the chapter Cleaning”.
The uniformity of the throws depends on the homogeneity of the balls, which you use. The
machine throws will throw faster little used balls than old strongly used balls. A mixture out of
both you should avoid therefore.
Irregular throws can be created through too much dirt and printing’s ink on the rubber
coating. Please clean in such cases the throwing wheels how descripted in the chapter.
„Cleaning“. Please do not use wet balls!!
