IMPORTANTSAFETYRULES 
Machinelocation:
Usetheprinternotoutdoors!Theprinterisdevelopedtoinstallitonaflat,drysurface.This
surfaceortablemustbecapabletocareaweightofatleast15Kg(ex.Theforceyouwill
usetospreadthepaste).Theprintershouldbeusedwithnormalroomtemperaturesfrom
15to25degrees.
Usetheprinteronlyinwellventilatedrooms.Duringtheprintingthefluxwillreleasea
littlegas.Itispossiblethisgascanbeaffectyourhealthinanegativeway.Followthe
safetyrulesofyourpastesupplier.
Normaluse:
TheprinterisdevelopedonlyforprintingspecialpasteonPCB’s.Don’tusetheprinterfor
printingonfood,animalsorothermaterials.Youwilllosewarrantyifyoudon’tcommitto
thoserules.WhenusedforotherasprintingpasteonPCB’syouwilllosetherightfor

Introduction
Remark
Picturesinthismanualgoodbedifferentthantheactualmodelyoupurchased.
Theyaremeanttoexplaintheprinteruseandfunction.
TheSP1260M1stencilprinterisdesignedtoputsolderingpasteonPBC’switha“stencil”.A
stencilisathinmetalplatewhichhasholesonthesamepositionaswherethepadsonthe
PCBarelocated.
Unlikeotherbrandsofstencilprinters,theSP1260M1hasuniquefeaturesforuserfriendly
handlingofstencilsandPCB’s.
Somefeaturesare:
 Stencilsdonotneedmountingholes
 Fixingastencilisfastandeasy,noheatingofthestencilisrequired
 PositioningofPCB’sissimplebuteffective
 YoumayusethestencilprinterforsingleaswellasdoublesidedPCB’s.Evenifthere
arealreadycomponentsononeside!
Settingupthestencilprinter
Thismachineisproducedandpackedwithspecialcaresowecandeliveryouthebestquality.Still
useextracasewhileyouareunpackingthemachine.Especiallylookfordamageontheoutsideofthe
machineandimmediatelyreportittothetransportcompany.
Ifyoudonotmakeremarksoftransportdamageonthefreightpapers,youwillhavenorightof
insuranceclaims!

Carefullyunpackthestencilprinterandsavetheoriginalpackageincaseyouneedtoshiptheunit.
Pleasechecktobesurethefollowingitemsarepackedwithyourstencilprinter:
 1stencilprinterSP1260M1
 3AllenKeys,metricsizes
 1non‐permanentfinelinermarkerpen
 6magneticplaceholdersforPCB’s
 2magneticpointsofsupportPCB’s
 1transparentoutline‐platetodefinePCBposition
 1squeegee
Placementofthestencilprinter
Placethestencilprinteronastablesurface.Thissurfaceshouldbeheavyenoughtocarrytheweight
ofthemachineincludingthepressureyouareusingwhile“printing”withthemachine.
Leaveabout10cmoneachsideofthemachinefreeforeasyaccesstotheX‐axis,Y‐axisandheight

Gettingstarted
Installingthestencil
1. LoosenuptheY‐axisalignmentorstencilspanner(10)
2. Unscrewtheeightscrewsofthestencilframe(A)
3. Placethestencilinthefirststencilholder
4. Tightenthefourscrews
5. Dothesameforthesecondstencilholder
6. Tightenthestencilspanner(10)
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boardusethetwomagneticpointsandplacetheminthemiddleofthePCB
4. PlacethetransparentoutlineplateoverthePCBandclosetheprinter(pictureB)
5. Searchtwoeasytoidentifyholesinthestencilwhichareabovetheoutlineplate.Thenuse
themarkerpentoplacespotsontheoutlineplate.Afterthisopentheprinter(picureA)
6. AdjustthePCBsothatthePCBpadsareatthesamelocationasthemarkerpoints.
7. RemovetheoutlineplatewithoutmovingthePCBandclosetheprinteragain(pictureB)
8. UsethebottomandtopheightcontrolstobringthestenciljustabovethePCB.Lessspaceis
better
9. UsetheX‐anY‐axistofinealignmentthePCBpositionsothateverypadisjustwithinthe
stencilholes
10. Youarenowreadyforprinting!


Operatingthestencilprinter
Onceinstallingisperformedasdescribedabove,itiseasytoplacesuccessivePCB’sonthe
placeholders.
BUTBECAREFULL
DuetothefactthatPCB’scandifferslightlyamongthemselves,itisadvisabletocheckifthePCB
padsstillexactlymatchthestencilholesbeforeeachprinting.
Letstart!
1. PlaceaPCBontheplaceholdersandclosetheprinterasdescribedbefore.Checkiftheholes
andpadsstillmatching.
2. Putthesolderpasteonthebacksideofthestencilwithaspatula.Takecarethatthe
solderingpasteisappliedoverthefullwidthoftheholespattern.
3. Placethesqueegeebehindthesolderpasteunderanangleof45‐60degreeand,ina
blendingwaywithalittlepressure,movethesqueegeetothefrontsideofthestencil.Take
carethatalltheholesinthestencilarefilledwithsolderpaste.
4. Removetheremainingpasteattheendofthestencilwiththesqueegee.
5. CarefullyopentheprinterandremovethePCB.Itisnowreadyforassembly!
6. Forsuccessiveprintingrepeatfromstep1
Maintenanceandcare
UsetheSP1260M1onlyinadry,cleanplaceandstrictlyavoidaggressiveenvironmentalconditions
suchasetchingequipment.Cleanthesolderpastefromthemachineafterusewithassolventonly
removessolderpasteandhasnoaggressiveelementsinitthataffectsthemachineorthestencil
Note:
Topreventcorrosion,slightlyoilallmetalsurfacestwiceorseveraltimeayearwithresinandacid
freemachineoil.Nofurtherlubricationisneededoradvised.
