Sensor amplifier default display

When you fill a feeder with stones and place it in the feeder holder, the red number should drop below 50 for normal operation. If the red number stays at or above 50, check for clogged sensor holes (see the Cleaning section).

6. Things to Know Before Operating

  • Poor-quality stones — those with foreign substances, cracks, or drops of bond — can cause clogging or jamming of the feeder.
  • For best results, work at 20–28 °C and avoid high humidity.
  • Use the correct feeder type and size. Mixing sizes in one feeder may cause failure.
  • Always operate safely. Do not touch the power plug with wet hands.
  • Keep the machine away from fire and flammable substances (benzene, thinner, alcohol, ether, LP gas, cosmetics).
  • Do not place liquid containers or heavy objects on top of the product.
  • If the product smokes or smells of burning, unplug it immediately and contact support.
  • Do not spray water on the product, and do not wipe with benzene, thinner, or similar solvents.
  • Do not apply excessive force or impact.
  • Do not disassemble, repair, or modify the machine except through a qualified service engineer.
  • After turning on the power, wait approximately 10 seconds for the initial drive to complete before operating the monitor.
  • When restarting, wait until all motion has fully stopped before turning power back on.

7. Cleaning & Maintenance

Machine Surface

Turn off the power and unplug the power cord. Wipe the surface gently with a soft cloth dampened in lukewarm water or mild detergent, then dry thoroughly so no moisture remains. With the power off, move the worktable slightly to clean remaining areas underneath. Do not use organic solvents (alcohol) or chlorine-based cleaners — these may cause deformation or malfunction.

Air Filter

When the red number on the sensor amplifier is significantly lower than expected at power-on, wipe parts A and B of the docking head with a soft cloth.

8. Troubleshooting

If you experience any of these symptoms, please check the corresponding items before contacting support.

Symptom Cause & Solution
Wind leaking out and stones pouring out Docking is incorrect. Press Stop, remove the feeder, and reinsert it.
2–3 stones missing at the start of feeder operation Normal for a freshly filled feeder. Hold the transparent barrel in your left hand and the feeder drum in your right; rotate the drum toward your body two or three times to drop initial stones. Be careful of rotation direction.
Stones missing here and there during setting Sensor and nozzle holes are blocked. Remove foreign substances from the nozzle and sensor holes.
Other feeder problems Refer to the feeder section above, or contact remote support.
Hotfix tape will not fix at the start If the worktable is too dry, the air from the docking head can make the tape flap. Lightly spray water on the worktable.
No power on Confirm the power plug is fully connected. Some electronic components may have been unplugged during transportation — check internal connections.
Pressing START does not work If the door sensor is set to YES and the door is open, START will not engage. Close the door, or set the door sensor to NO (use caution).
Stones don't stick well to the hotfix tape Run a stone-setting test on a worktable without hotfix tape. If setting is normal, the feeder is fine. Possible causes: poor post-processing of stones, foreign substances, or low temperature. Store stones and operate at 20–26 °C.
Air is weak Press the air cleaning button on the monitor. If still weak, clean the vacuum hose as described in the Cleaning section.
