IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Machine location:
Do not use the printer outdoors! The printer is developed to be installed on a flat, dry
surface. This surface or table must be capable of carrying a weight of at least 10 kg
(excluding the force used to spread the paste). The printer should be used with room
temperatures between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius.
Use the printer only in well ventilated rooms.
During the printing the flux will release some
gasses. These gasses released by the flux can be unhealthy,
please follow the safety
instructions of your paste supplier.
Regular use:
The printer is developed for printing paste on PCBs only.
When used for anything other than printing paste on PCBs you will void your warranty!
Introduction
Remark
Pictures in this manual could be different than the actual model you purchased.
They are meant to explain the printers’ use and function.
The
TSD240
stencil printer is designed to put solder paste on PBC’s with a “stencil”. A stencil
is
a
thin
metal
sheet
which
has
holes
matching
the
position
of
the
pads
located
on the PCBs.
Unlike other stencil printer brands, the
TSD240
has unique features for user friendly
handling
of
stencils
and
PCBs.
Some of the features include:
Stencils do not need mounting holes.
Fixing a stencil is fast, easy and requires no heating of the stencil.
Positioning of PCBs is simple but effective.
You may use the stencil printer for single as well as double sided PCBs, even if there
are already components on one side!
