SAFETY PROCEDURES

BEFORE USE:

• Read through the owner’s manual. Follow instructions CAREFULLY.

• NEVER use in a wet area. Electric shock could occur.

• Use a GROUNDED outlet and a GROUNDED circuit . Do not us e ungr o und ed

equipment on the same circuit.

• Always use a dedicated line. DO NOT use with line splitting surge protector.

DURING USE:

• Keep fingers and hands away from numbering head, perf blades, and rubber rollers.

• Keep cords clear of moving parts.

AFTER USE:

• Turn off machine at the rear panel, then unplug the main power cord. This will
prevent damage to your machine by power/voltage spikes.

• To unplug cords, alwa ys grasp the plug body, never pull on cords to disconnect. Wire
fatigue and possible shock could result from improper disconnect procedures.

BE ALERT! BE CAREFUL!

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

The NUMBER PRO TOUCH is a precision machine. It is very important to keep it free of excessive
dust, dirt and foreign matter. We recommend that you keep the machine covered when not in
use.

BEARINGS: The NUMBER PRO TOUCH uses 2 different style bearings sealed roller bearing and
bronze bushings. Sealed roller bearings are designed to be self lubrica ting, however dirt and
dust can get into them causing clogging and dirt build up. Bronze bushings need to be oiled on a
regular basis. The bronze bushings on this machine are located on the feed drive shaft and on
the small idler pulley's to tension the belts on the non operator side. To oil these bronze
bushings run the machine in feed mode a nd add a few drops of oil just inside the shaft collar that
hold the shaft in place. Also add a few drops to the inside of the machine so both sides of the
bushing gets oil. It is recommended to occasionally oil the sealed roller bearings under heavy
use.

NUMBERING HEADS:

Keep your numbering heads clean with Simple Green and then oil with 3-1 oil. It is suggested to
do this after every use. To clean: Remove numbering head and place it in a small container with
enough solution to just soak the numbering wheels. Stand the head upright so that the solution
does not enter into the electronics. Brush wheels lightly, pat dry or blow dry with a compressor.
Do this periodically to insure clean impressions. DO NOT USE BLANKET WASH!

SENSOR EYE: Clean the sensor area on the strike plate so paper dust does not collect and block
the sensor.

REMOVEABLE SCREWS: When these show signs of wear or stripping, replace as soon as
possible. If these strip or hollow out they can be costly to remove. If you do keep your NUMBER
PRO TOUCH clean and in top condition, it will give you years of service.
