1 General
PL1200 is a modular, configurable and scalable system, which is intended to enable qualitative,
ergonomic and precise painting of the edges of flat parts and assemblies in the production of
hand bags, shoes and small leather goods.
The configuration of the machine is to be made by using the web based PL1200
configurator. It can be accessed on https://users.plproject.net/ or by scanning the
QR code on the left.
The standard configuration includes:
a) Work place for painting –part of the machine, where the operator does his main job;
b) Maintenance station with two positions. This station’s role is to maintain the paint in good
condition while the heads are full of paint, but not used for painting;
c) Three painting heads with horizontal painting shaft;
d) Cleaning aggregate. It allows immediate correction of mispaintings before drying of the
applied liquid –paint or primer.
Any combination of the above points is possible to be configured in case the user needs a non-
standard configuration.
On the following pages the standard configuration is being described as the most versatile and
complex one.
Using of the other combinations represents
subcases of using the standard configuration. Thus
the information for correct and safe use of each
non-standard configuration could be found in the
present document too.
The major part of the information exposed in this document is available in a series
of video clips using the following Internet link: https://www.plproject.net/media/
The same Internet location could be reached by scanning the QR-code on the left.
The illustrations in this document are for
informational purposes only and may not be
accurate. Differences between revisions of the
various components may not be reflected in the
illustrations where this is not decisive for the
principle of operation of the system.

2 Package contents
Carefully check the content of the package after first opening.
Content is dependent on the ordered options and a list of the package contents could be found
inside the packaging of each particular machine.
Painting heads are being 100% tested with real paint
before packaging. Therefore signs of paint and colors
on the parts of the painting heads could be observed
even immediately after unpacking.

3 Safety precautions
3.1 Subject of application
System for painting edges of details in leather–haberdashery production, for short, and
within the meaning of Directive 2006/42/EC, referred as "machine", is designed for the
application of paints and other low-viscous liquids on the edges of flat parts and
assemblies in leather–haberdashery production
It is unacceptable to use the machine for other purposes or outside of measured parameters.
For safety purposes, the machine has to be used and maintained according to the following
manual only.
In order to ensure safe and trouble-free operation, the device should be transported, placed,
mounted and leveled correctly in a right environmental condition. Also exploitation has to be with
care and regularly maintained.
3.2 Common risks of non-compliance with safety instructions
This machine is safe and reliable. There is a risk of harm if it is not mounted properly or used by
not trained personnel. Anyone involved in the relocation, mounting, maintenance and operation
with the machine must be familiar with the operating and installation instructions.

3.4 Transformation and modifications
The system for painting edges of details in leather–haberdashery PL1200 must not be modified in
terms of its design or safety measures without express written consent by the manufacturer - PL
Project Ltd. Any modification excludes any responsibility by the manufacturer for any damage or
injury resulting from the modification.
3.5 Qualified personnel
The equipment must be installed, set up and placed for operation by associates familiar with the
equipment and by following the safety instructions and measures described below. Qualified
personnel are person or group of people that are trained for installation, relocation and
maintenance of the equipment.
3.6 Accident prevention
The machine has a board controller and all motor speed are software preset in order to prevent
any danger to the operator, also motor electrical current is limited to prevent any damage to the
equipment.
The general rules and instructions for accident prevention must be followed.
3.7 Electromagnetic hazards
The PL1200 system complies with EN 55011 cl. 62.2 –Limits of electromagnetic disturbances for
class B group 1. The tests and measurements designate the system as safe for use even in
domestic and light industrial areas.
