IMPORTANT: Always keep the original product packaging
throughout the guarantee period. You will need the
packaging if the product has to be returned to the Service
Centre for repairs or replacement in the event of
EN
manufacturing defects or malfunction (with the exception
of wilful damage, negligence, failure to perform routine
maintenance or damage during transport). If you are not in
possession of the original packaging, contact Zhermack and
ask for instructions (possible repackaging costs will be
charged on delivery). The customer is responsible for all
costs associated with unsuitable packaging of the product
to be returned to the manufacturer. Zhermack is not liable
for faults, malfunctions or damage to the product deriving
from or consequent to the use of unsuitable packaging, or
packaging not of a quality equal to or better than the
packaging used for the original shipment.

TRANSPORT AND HANDLING
If the machine must be moved:
1. disconnect the machine from the electric plant;
2. hold the machine (see par. 6.5 Fig. 1), always keeping it in a vertical
position. Regarding this, pay attention to the weight and clearance of
the machine (see par. 4.2.3), in order to prevent any type of damage
occurring due to the failure of considering these values;
3. pack the machine in the original packaging. If this is not possible, take all
necessary precautions to protect the machine from knocks and drops, as
the goods are transported at the owner's risk.
• Failure to comply with the rules stated above relieve the
Manufacturer from any liability regarding machine
malfunctioning and consequently makes the warranty null
and void.
• When shipping and/or delivering the machine to an
Authorised After-Sales Centre always enclose a copy of the
purchase document and a copy of the properly filled-in
identification form.
• If the machine is transported by carrier, the Postal Service or
rail, it is recommended to insure the shipment.
5.4
DISPOSAL/DISMANTLING
When disposing of the packaging material the user must follow the
regulations in force in the country of use relative to the following materials:
• wood/paper: non-polluting materials, but must be re-cycled correctly;
• polystyrene/plastic: pollutant material, do not burn (toxic fumes) or
dispose of in the environment. Dispose of these materials in compliance
with the regulations in force in the country of use.
If the machine is to be dismantled, the operator must be in charge of
dismantling, elimination and re-cycling of the following materials in
compliance with the EEC Directives and the laws in force in the country
of use:
• plastic parts; steel parts; glass parts; insulated electric cables; rubber parts;
• there are no toxic or corrosive substances.
The product must not be disposed of as household waste,
but at the end of its life must be collected separately in
compliance with the 2012/19/UE Directive.
CHAPTER 6: INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING
6.1
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Before carrying out installation, make sure that all safety conditions exist
and follow the indications given below carefully.
For greater clarity, the numbers stated in the figures positioned
near to the paragraph boxes correspond to the numbering of
the data in Chapter 3, regarding the "Description of the machine".
6.2
ACCEPTED ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
Unless stated otherwise, at the time of ordering, it is intended that
the machine must be envisioned to function regularly in the following
environmental conditions:
Place of Use
Altitude
Working temperature
Humidity
Conditions different to those prescribed can cause anomalies or sudden
breakdown. Lighting in the installation area must be sufficient to guarantee

good visibility in all points of the machine. Luminosity not less than 200
lux must be guaranteed. The lighting must be uniform without reflections,
which could dazzle the operator.
The working area lighting plant is an important factor for the
6.3
SPACE NECESSARY FOR USE
The choice of the place and space required for installation is an important
factor for the quality of work and safety and for correct maintenance
activities.
This area must not only be spacious enough to allow for optimum machine
operation - also during cleaning and maintenance phases - but must also
be well lit, aired, not dusty and not exposed to direct sunlight. Note also
that the unit must be positioned so the connection plug can be handled/
manipulated with ease.
6.3.1 WORKTOP
Fig. E - BENCH VERSION
Modulmix has been designed to work on a worktop parallel to the
ground. Suitable worktops include service furniture (operator is standing)
or modelling tables (operator is sitting). All worktops must be checked for
stability.
Fig. F - WALL-MOUNTED VERSION
Modulmix is also designed to be wall-mounted. For fast, accurate drilling
of the holes, use the supplied drilling template; check the horizontal
alignment of the holes. Once drilling has been concluded, introduce the
plugs in the holes and then screw in the screws, leaving them to project
from the wall by 8-10 mm. Check machine stability before use.
6.4
POWER SOURCE CONNECTION
The connection is made using the power supply cable. Check:
• that mains power supply voltage and frequency correspond to those
indicated on the identification plate (an incorrect power supply voltage
may damage the machine);
• that the power supply mains has a suitable earth connection.

The machine is not prepared and/or designed to operate in
environments with explosive atmosphere or with the risk of fire.
However, if a fire should accidentally occur, act as described in
paragraph 2.4.
safety of persons and the quality of work. In Italy this subject is
governed by a Ministerial Decree that clearly determines the
average level of prescribed lighting. In other countries the
regulations in force are valid regarding accident-prevention and
hygiene in the workplace.
• When choosing wall plugs, bear in mind the weight of the
machine as stated in section 4.2.3 as well as the characteristics
of the wall on which it is to be installed.
• Use specific plugs if mounting the machine on plasterboard
walls.
Do not tamper with the power supply cable and relative plug.
For replacement of the same due to damage and/or wear, only
contact Authorised After-Sales Centres.
An earth connection is mandatory. If an extension
must be used temporarily, it must be in compliance
with the standards in force in the country of use.
