Operation of the SMD-VAC™-HF

Using the optional Interrupter P/N V3025

1. Connect the small
diameter vacuum hose
to the vacuum fitting on
the front of the SMD­VAC. Make sure the
hose is pushed all of
the 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
slightly smaller in
diameter to the outline
of the parts that you
want to pick and place.
Securely install

it o
the tapered end of the
vacuum handle.
Selecting a vacuum
cup that is too large or
too small will result in
improper operation.

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

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 one side of the vacuum interrupter block. Connect another length
of vacuum hose in between the other side of the vacuum interrupter block and the

V3021-RF or optional V3121-

rear of the vacuum handle that has NO control hole

(

RF), again make sure the hose is pushed all the way on.
