MULTI4 / QUICK USER GUIDE N°1 USER’S MANUAL
STEP 1 : Read the safety instructions
STEP 2 : Unpacking, assembly and starting up
•Depending on your
application, we
strongly recommend to
wear protective glasses
and gloves, as well as
safety shoes.
•Keep the machine
away from heat,
humidity, and radio
interferences sources
(ex : welding machine).
•Never tighten or
release the knurled nut
of the percussion sub
assembly* using a
plier or any other tool.
Hand tightening is
sufcient (See User’s
guide 1-B-2).
•Avoid violent impact
on the marking head
or the control box.
•Never cover the
control box.
•Do not insert your
ngers between the
stylus and the part to
be marked.
•Never activate the
machine when empty
(without part to mark
under the marking head).
•Think about positioning
stylus between 0.039’’
and 0.37’’ (1mm and
9.5 mm) from the
surface to be marked.
Optimal conguration
is 0.12’’ (3 mm).
•In hand held position,
do not point or position
the active part of the
stylus towards yourself
or anybody else.
Connect the power cable to the
controller.
Tighten the locking handle on the
column (see assembly plan ASC10
included in the packing box).
Unpack the different parts
comprising the machine.
Plug in the power supply cable into
a power socket.
Mount the marking head on the
column (1), using the knurled nut at
the back of the head (2).
Assemble the base and the column
(see assembly plan ASC10
included in the packing box).
Power up the machine by switching
the main switch to ( I ).
Connect the marking-head
cable to the controller (1) and
lock it (2).
Fix the xing plate on the column
(see assembly plan ASC10
included in the packing box).

MULTI4 / QUICK USER GUIDE N°2 TECHNICAL HELP
STEP 1: Safety instructions
For safety reasons, you must unplug the power cable before performing any maintenance or service
operation on the machine.
The new Multi 4 generation was designed to keep maintenance as low as possible.
Only the mechanical part (marking head) requires minor maintenance.
01 - Unplug the power cable from the machine, to remove all power.
02 - Refer to the user’s manual.
03 - Contact our after sale customer service team by either:
• E-mail: [email protected]
• Telephone: [phone] or [phone]
Our technicians are committed to helping you identify and rectify the malfunction as quickly as
possible.
04 - If the problem cannot be solved directly, we ask you to return the complete machine
(controller + head).
If required, and depending on the guarantee conditions, our company will supply FREE of
charge a loan machine during the period your equipment is unavailable.
We are committed quotation a repair estimate within 48h from the time we receive the machine.
STEP 2: Maintenance and Daily Service
STEP 3: What to do when faced with a malfunction?
Check if there is no dirt in
the mechanic parts, and
clean as necessary using a
compressed air nozzle.
Check the sharpness of the
stylus (Standard 90°). It can
be sharpened or replaced
as necessary.
Check the spring condition.
It should not be shorter than
51 mm!
Think about cleaning
and lubricating the stylus,
following the disassembly
instructions as explained in
the user’s manual (6-C).
Regular maintenance with manufacturer origine pieces ensures marking equipment lifetime
of 20% gain. Over a 5-year period, the average operating cost of the product was
reduced by 14% (excluding warranty period)

®
TECHNICAL HELP
STEP 4: Trouble shooting
• Ensure the part is correctly xed in
place
• Check sharpness of the stylus
• Adjust:
- Character height
- Impact force
- Part to stylus distance
The marking quality is bad and/or
the characters are not well formed.
• Check if stylus is moving freely
• Check if force and/or distance are
compatible
• Check position and tightening of the
stylus assembly
• Check if the purple electro-magnet
cable is damaged
The part is not marked.
• Check the main power supply
• Check the On/off switch
The control screen does not work.
• Clean and oil the stylus
• Change the stylus spring
(See user’s manual 6-C)
• Replace the stylus
The stylus stays stuck, tip downwards.
• Check alignment and cleanliness of
X and Y axis (see user’s manual 6-F)
• Check the connection and locking
of the marking head cable on the
controller
The percussion assembly is not moving
or makes a strange noise during the
marking cycle and/or as it returns to
its origin.
For any other malfunction, please refer to the user’s manual.
