INTRODUCTION
DPF300 is a manual depaneling system designed to sol e
depaneling needs for small and medium production series. In these
applications a simple tool would entail excessi e labour but, at the
same time, the small amounts of product do not justify the use of
automatic depaneling systems that are much more expensi e.
Among the particular features of DPF300 are the possibility to
change the cutter quickly and the INTERCHANGEABLE GUIDE
designed and patented by Piergiacomi .
The guide assists the operator throughout the PCB positioning and
dragging phase and speeds up the process leading up to isthmus
(tab) cutting.
The special design of the INTERCHANGABLE GUIDE a oids damage
to the assembly in case of incorrect insertion, if the operator
cannot insert the guide perfectly into the slot; thanks to its special
shape, the assembly will be completely protected against
accidents, in full compliance with the current safety standards in
force.
Piergiacomi has designed and manufactured the new DPF300 to
o ercome any st ess, b eak-off and tea ing of PCB fibres ; such
phenomena often occur when using common blades or hand tools
to separate the panels; as the complexity and miniaturisation of
the printed circuit boards increases, this type of tools are less and
less tolerated.
DPF300 cuts the isthmus with the p ecision of an automatic
machine but with much lower costs.
The electric extraction system of DPF300, placed directly on the
interchangeable guide, remo es all the dust produced by the
cutter, keeping the work area clean, in accordance with the
regulations in force.

1. SAFETY RULES
1.1 MEANING OF THE SYMBOLS USED IN THIS MANUAL
An exclamation mark in an equilateral triangle indicates that there are
work or maintenance instructions to be obser ed or situations that
are or may become particularly dangerous.
The type of risk to which the operator is subjected and the le el of skill
required is also indicated.
1.2 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Before performing any maintenance or adjustment work, make sure that the power supply
system is disconnected.
ATTENTION: Pie giacomi Sud S. .l. disclaims all liability fo any damage caused by the emoval
o modification, without autho isation, of pa ts of the machine; se vicing o adjusting the
machine while it is unning is also fo bidden.
The machine must be used fo depaneling FR4/CEM o ALUMINIUM PCBs only. Any othe use is
fo bidden and will ende the p oduct wa anty void.
Obse ve the inst uction and wa ning labels on the machine.
The machine is built according to the safety criteria dictated by current regulations, indicated in the
declaration of conformity attached to this manual.
1.3 IDENTIFICATION PLATES ON THE MACHINE
DPF-300 MACHINE DATA PLATE
It is the identification plate of the machine,
bearing its main specifications and its Serial
Number.
Located at the back of the machine.

1.4 MEANING OF THE WARNING PLATES AFFIXED TO THE
MACHINE
This symbol on the head baseplate indicates "DO NOT TOUCH" the cutte
while it is unning.
This symbol on the wo kbench indicates that the machine complies with
standa d CEI EN 61340-5-1 as ega ds the p otection of elect onic
devices against elect ostatic phenomena.
This symbol on the wo kbench indicates that eye and ea p otection must
be wo n at all times while using the machine.
This symbol on the elect ic moto of the ext action system indicates that
its su face may each high tempe atu es. Do not touch this pa t du ing
ope ation and wait fo it to cool down afte stopping the machine.
This symbol on the wo kbench indicates that p otective gloves must be
wo n at all times while using the machine.
The lightning bolt symbol in an equilate al t iangle ale ts the use of the
p esence of “dange ous elect icity” inside the p oduct. This may
constitute a isk of elect ical discha ges fo the pe son who comes into
contact with it.

ATTENTION
Check the clogging of the suction
filter constantly.
This plate, located on the f ont side of the
machine, above the wo kbench, p ompts the
ope ato to check the clogging of the suction
filte constantly.
This plate, located on the f ont of the
machine, p ecisely on the elect ical panel,
indicates that wo king on live elect ical
equipment is fo bidden.

2. MACHINE DESCRIPTION
The machine (Fig.2) consists of steel frame with an ESD workbench on top, on which is installed the milling
head (cutter).
The frame is supported by two steel feet and two ESD swi el wheels with brakes for practical positioning;
the front side features an ESD connection port for the operator, thus rendering the machine compliant with
standard IEC-61340-5-1.
A remo able casing containing the electrical panel is fixed with screws to the bottom of the workbench;
inside it there is the protecti e insulating casing of the motor spindle. On the front of the machine there are
se eral control de ices such as a disconnect switch, a power indicator light, the machine on/off switch and
an emergency button.

The back of the machine features a protecti e casing fixed with 4 screws that can be remo ed when carrying
out extraordinary maintenance work on the motor and the extraction system (Fig.3).
Under the frame bedplate is installed a dust filter that features a special built-in filter cartridge, in
accordance with EN 60335-269 and can be easily opened using the side clips.
