platter can´t damage vinyl records. In order to keep the temperature as low as possible do not
expose the unit to direct sunlight.
Motor should not be turned on when not cleaning your records. Extended running time outside of the
guideline process can cause over-heating.
Setting up the unit
The unit is supplied assembled with the exception of the platter and vacuum arm which are packed
separately. Remove all parts from the transport packaging carefully. Please see the diagram above for
assembly instructions. Base part of the clamp (2) should be attached by using the screw (3), a Phillips
head screwdriver is required but not included. Then apply the self-adhesive label seal (13) on top.

Using the unit
Please ensure that all assembly and set up steps have been followed as outlined in this manual. All
3 rocker switches ("main switch", "motor" and "vacuum" should be in position "0"). Connect the
power cord to the socket on the rear side of VC-S2 and turn the main switch to the "I" position.
Place a record on the bottom plate. Using moderate force, thread the top clamp plate on the
threaded tip of the centre spindle. Do not over-tighten. If the top plate and screw clamp are too
loose, the record will not turn even if the motor is running.
