Getting started
Installing the stencil
1. Loosen up the Y-axis alignment or stencil tensioner. (10)
2. Unscrew the eight screws of the stencil frame. (A)
3. Place the stencil in the first stencil holder.
4. Tighten the four screws.
5. Do the same for the second stencil holder.
6. Tighten the stencil tensioner. (10)
Installing the first PCB
1.
Open the printer. (picture A)
2.
Place the PCB roughly in its position with 4 to 6 magnetic placeholders.
3.
For large boards use the two magnetic points and place them in the middle of the PCB.
4.
Place the transparent outline sheet over the PCB and close the printer. (picture B)
5.
Find two easy to identify holes in the stencil which are on top of the outline sheet. Then use
the marker pen to place a dot on the outline sheet through the previously picked holes. After
this open the printer. (picture A)
6.
Adjust the PCB until the PCB pads match the marker dots made during step 5.
7.
Remove the outline sheet without moving the PCB and close the printer. (picture B)
8.
Use the bottom and top height controls to bring the stencil just above the PCB. The less
space between the stencil and PCB, the better.
9.
Use the X- and Y-axis for small adjustments to align the stencil holes and PCB pads.
10. Your printer is now ready for printing!
