Introduction
Remark
Picturesinthismanualcanbedifferentthantheactualmodelyou’vepurchased.
Theyareonlymeanttoexplaintheprinters’useandfunction.
TheSD360‐UstencilprinterisdesignedtoputsolderpasteonPBCswithastencil.Astencilis
athinmetalsheetwhichhasholesmatchingthepositionofthepadslocatedonthePCBs.
Unlikeotherstencilprinterbrands,theSD360‐Uhasuniquefeaturesforuserfriendly
handlingofstencilsandPCBs.
Someofthefeaturesincluded:
Liftingthestencilhorizontallybeforeopeningtheframe
Stencilsdonotrequiremountingholes.
Fixingastencilisfast,easyandrequiresnoheatingofthestencil.
PositioningofPCBsissimplebuteffective.
Youmayusethestencilprinterforsingle,aswellasdoublesidedPCBs.Evenifthere
arealreadycomponentsononeside!
Settingupthestencilprinter
Thismachineisproducedandpackedwithspecialcaretodeliveryouthebestqualityproduct
possible.Howeverwestilladviceyoutouseextracarewhileunpackingthemachine.Afterunpacking

Gettingstarted
Installingthestencil
1. SettheZ‐axiselevatorlever(9)totheUPposition.
2. LoosentheY‐axisalignmentorstenciltensioner.(10)
3. Loosenthestencilsizeadjustment.(5)
4. Unscrewtheeightscrewsofthestencilframe.(A)
5. Placethestencilinthefirststencilholder(neartheY‐axisalignments.)(10)
6. Tightenthefourscrews.
7. Shifttheupperstencilholdertothelowerstencilholdersothestencilwillfit.
8. Tightenthefourscrews.
9. Pressthestencilsizeadjustmentsagainsttheupperstencilholderandtightenthescrews.
10. Tightenthestenciltensioneruptothehalfofthelength.(10)
11. Liftupthestencilframe.
InstallingthefirstPCB


1. Opentheprinter.(pictureA)
2. PlacethePCBroughlyinitspositionwith4to6magneticplaceholders.
3. ForlargeboardsusethetwomagneticpointsandplacetheminthemiddleofthePCB.
4. PlacethetransparentoutlinesheetoverthePCBandclosetheprinter.(pictureB)
5. SettheZ‐axiselevatorlever(9)totheDOWNposition.
6. Searchtwoeasytoidentifyholesinthestencilwhichareontopoftheoutlinesheet.Then
usethemarkerpentoplaceadotontheoutlinesheetthroughthepreviouslypickedholes.
Afterthisopentheprinter.(pictureA)

7. AdjustthePCBuntilthePCBpadsmatchthemarkerdotsmadeduringstep6.
8. RemovetheoutlinesheetwithoutmovingthePCBandclosetheprinter.(pictureB)
9. Usethebottomandtopheightcontrols(6)tobringthestenciljustabovethePCB.Theless
spacebetweenthestencilandPCB,thebetter.
10. UsetheX‐andY‐axisforsmalladjustmentstoalignthestencilholesandPCBpads.
11. SettheZ‐axiselevatorlever(9)totheUPposition.
12. Yourprinterisnowreadyforprinting!
Operatingthestencilprinter
Oncetheinstallationhasbeencompletedfollowingthestepsdescribedabove,itiseasytoplace
successivePCBsonthemagneticplaceholders.
BUTBECAREFULL
DuetothefactthatnoPCBisexactlythesame,itisadvisabletocheckifthePCBpadsstillexactly
matchthestencilholesbeforeeachprint.
Let’sgetstarted!
1. PlaceaPCBonthemagneticplaceholdersandclosetheprinterasdescribedbefore.Checkif
theholesandpadsarestillaligned.Fixanyalignmentissuesasneededandcontinuewith
step2.
2. BringtheZ‐axiselevatorlever(9)totheDOWNposition.
3. Putthesolderpasteonthefarsideofthestencilwithaspatula.Makesurethesolderpaste
isappliedoverthefullwidthofthestencilcut‐outs.
4. Placethesqueegeebehindthesolderpasteundera45‐60degreeangleandinazigzagging
motionwhileapplyingalittlepressure,movethesqueegeetothenearsideofthestencil.
Makesurethatalltheholesinthestencilarefilledwithsolderpaste.
5. Removetheremainingpasteattheendofthestencilwiththesqueegee.
6. BringtheZ‐axiselevatorlever(9)totheUPposition.
7. CarefullyopentheprinterandremovethePCB.Itisnowreadyforassembly!
8. Forsuccessiveprintingrepeatfromstep1.
Maintenanceandcare
UsetheSD360‐Uonlyinadry,cleanlocationandstrictlyavoidaggressiveenvironmentalconditions
suchasetchingequipment.Afterusingthemachine,cleanthemachinewithasolventthatonly
removespasteandhasnoaggressiveelementsinitthatcouldaffectthemachineorthestencil.
Note:
Topreventcorrosion,slightlyoilallmetalsurfacestwiceorseveraltimesayearwithresinandacid
freemachineoilorPTFE.Nofurtherlubricationisneededoradvised.
