way on. Connect the
other end of the
vacuum hose to the
rear of the vacuum
handle, again make
sure the hoses pushed
all the way on.

2. Select a probe with a
vacuum cup that is

of the parts that you
want to pick and place.
Securely install it

on

t

he tapered end of the
vacuum handle.
Selecting a vacuum
cup that is too large or
too small will result in

3. Connect the 3 wire
SMD-VAC power cord
to input power. Turn the
ON/OFF switch to the
on position.

4. To pick and place a

Operation of the SMD-VAC™-HP

Using the optional foot switch P/N VFS-1

PRECISION PARTS PLACEMENT

1. Connect the small diameter vacuum hose to the vacuum fitting on the front of the
SMD-VAC. Make sure the hose is pushed all the way on. Connect the other end of
the vacuum hose to the rear of the vacuum handle that has NO control hole (V3021
or V3121-RF), again make sure the hose is pushed all the way on.

2. Plug the foot switch connector into the jack on the rear of the S

MD-VA

C-HP that is

labeled as EXTERNAL SWITCH.
