Operation
Empty the Sorter/Remove Wheel
Removing Rhinestones and crystals from the sorters requires a few
quick steps and ensures little or no waste. Recover unused crystals
from the sorters with the following process:
1.
Unlock the
Wiper Arm Clamp
by turning the lock clockwise.
2.
Rotate the
Wiper Arm
all the way up until it stops.
3.
Loosen the
Sorter Wheel Thumbscrew
and remove it.
4.
Slowly pull the
Sorter Wheel
up off the
Sorter Bowl
shaft. Tilt the
Sorter Wheel
once it clears the shaft, allowing the stones to fall
into the empty
Sorter Bowl
. Once all the stones are off the
Sorter
Wheel
, remove it and set aside.
5.
Position an empty container under the small door in the front
of the
Sorter Bowl
.
6.
Pull the release door down and the stones will fall into the
container. Gently sweep remaining stones into the container
making sure to clean ALL stones from inside the bowl.

Removing the
Figure 29.
Sorter Wheel
from the
Sorter Bowl
.
Make sure every stone is
removed from the
Sorter
Bowl
, especially small sizes.
Stones caught under the
Sorter
Wheel
can cause the
C-Stick
to
malfunction and drastically lower
throughput.
Caution
Never remove a
Sorter
Wheel
while the machine
is printing. Always keep
the face away from the
Sorter
Bowls
when they are moving.
Caution
If the design requires more colors
or sizes than the
CrystalPress
has
Sorter Bowls
, you will have
to change
Sorter Wheels
in the
middle of printing the motif. Do
NOT turn OFF power during
the switch so that the current
printing location is preserved and
the motif continues from where
it left off.
