Errors and faults
The device has been checked for proper functioning several
times during production. If malfunctions occur nonetheless,
check the device according to the following list.
The device does not start:
• Check the power connection.
• Check the mains plug for damages.
• Wait for 10minutes before restarting the device. If the
device is not starting, have the electrics checked by a
specialist electrical company or by Trotec.
The surface of the device bulges outward:
• The material expands due to heating. This is a normal
process. No measures are required.
The surface of the device only heats up slightly:
• The mains voltage does not meet the requirements. Check
the mains voltage.
• The ambient temperature is low. This is a normal process.
No measures are required.
The device makes noises after switch-on:
• The material expands due to heating. The insulation
expands as well and generates the noises. This is a normal
process. No measures are required.
Info
Wait for at least 3 minutes after maintenance and
repair work. Only then switch the device back on.
Your device still does not operate correctly after these
checks?
Please contact the customer service. If necessary, bring the
device to an authorized specialist electrical company or to
Trotec for repair.
Maintenance
Activities required before starting maintenance
Warning of electrical voltage
Do not touch the mains plug with wet or damp hands.
