1 Product description
1.1 General description and intended use
The Thermo-Ident marking machine may exclusively be used for temporary or permanent textile marking. The
machine prints labels, cuts them off and applies them to textiles.
Depending on the type of marking tape and the set parameters, temporary marking or permanent marking is
possible.
The labels are resistant to most industrial washing and dry-cleaning processes. Temporary labels can be
removed from the textile without residues after the washing or dry-cleaning process.
Safe operation of the machine is not guarantee if the marking machine is not used
for this purpose.
The following improper uses are to be excluded:
•Do not leave any highly flammable objects or any processing materials in or on the
machine; do not use any highly flammable objects and no flammable liquids and do not

use them or place them near the machine. This also applies to liquids or solids that can
disintegrate thermally into dangerous substances.
•Do not use the machine to dry or remove stains, especially with flammable liquids.
Observation of all information in the manual is part of proper use.
