• Choose the most appropriate liquid according for the type
of marking to be carried out:
◊ SURFOX-M, for marking; the result will be a dark and
high-contrast mark on the workpiece.
◊ SURFOX-E, for etching; the result will be a clear, light
marking on due to the a spark erosion principle.
• Pour a few drops of electrolyte solution (A) onto the
marking pad.
The pad moistened with the electrolytic
solution allows
markings to be made, after which it must be
remoistened.
• Turn on the device by turning the main switch (located on
the rear panel of the unit) to the "I" position.
• Select the desired operating mode by pressing the MODE
button on the control panel (see chapter 3.3 for more
information).
• Unlike cleaning and polishing, the marking/etching process
with the 35 mm insert requires a minimum amount of
current, so it is not necessary to select a particular working
voltage.
• Press the button on the control panel to start the device.
Once started, the device switches off
automatically after approximately 30 seconds
of inactivity.
This is a precautionary measure to prevent
the wand from being accidentally powered at
the end of processing.
• Repeatedly apply the wet marking pad to the logo or on the
text that must be imprinted on the stainless steel surface
(B).
• Stay inside the edges of the stencil to avoid marking the steel outside the desired area.
• Always keep the pad well moistened with the electrolytic solution to avoid overheating and consequent
significant reduction in its working life; if there are obvious signs of wear, replace the component immediately.
• Never use an insert without its matching pad; the insert must never be placed in direct contact with the
stencil.
• The device automatically supplies the appropriate voltage when the marking operating mode is selected.
Do not press the – and + buttons on the control panel to adjust the output power, otherwise a number of
problems may occur, such as:
◊ Weak and/or poorly defined markings.
◊ Burns on the marking pad.
◊ Burns on the screen-printing stencil.
◊ Unwanted halos on the workpiece.
