NOTE: You don’t need to change the stroke setting before packing. Any stroke length is fine.
Attention! Before putting the machine back into the tube, make sure to fully turn the needle depth adjustment ring in the direction of the longer stroke – this will make the machine as short as possible for safe packing.
If the needle hang is changed by more than one third when the motor is switched on, perform calibration (described below).
The needle depth (or hang) is adjusted by turning the ring located between the grip and the machine body.
Needle depth adjustment
DO NOT attempt to lock the MultiStroke screw in intermediate positions (between the markings on the armature bar);
DO NOT turn the MultiStroke screw all the way out as this will cause the screw to fall out. If it has fallen out, screw it back in place.
Adjustment process
3. Tighten the screw until the stop.
Working with a loose screw can cause damage to your machine.
Always make sure that the MultiStroke screw is securely tightened before starting work and when changing strokes.
Stroke adjustment (MultiStroke)
1. Loosen the adjustment screw 2-3 turns until the adjustment screw moves freely.
DO NOT turn on the machine with the MultiStroke screw loose;
2. Move the screw so that it is opposite the number indicating the desired stroke.
The bigger the number, the sharper or softer the mode.
CENTER and RIGHT increase the power, making the hit sharper, while CENTER and LEFT decrease the hit sharpness.
To toggle the setting, the center and one of the side buttons must be pressed at the same time.
The machine has a total of 7 modes:
Stable – the SmartHit function is off
Sharp 1/2/3 – modes for the sharper hit
Soft 1/2/3 – modes for the softer hit
The machine has a built-in hit adjustment function. It changes the way the motor and electronics respond to the load from the needle entering the skin.
Electronic adjustment of the hit (SmartHit)
DO NOT use the left position on a 5.5 mm stroke – the load becomes too much.
⬅️ In the LEFT position, the Antigravity system is off and the hit is as SOFT and GENTLE as possible.
NOTE: The knob must be turned to the left above the horizontal position until it stops.
➡️ If you turn the magnet knob to the RIGHT, the system counters the cartridge membrane making the hit more POWERFUL and SHARP.
Magnetic adjustment of the hit (Antigravity)
- Set the desired stroke and speed (Hz)
- Set the magnet knob of the Antigravity system to the right
- Set the SmartHit mode to ‘Stable’.
If more hit power is required (especially for line work), set the SmartHit to ‘Sharp’. If more delicate work is required (soft skin, shadow work), set the SmartHit to ‘Soft’.
If using the machine in soft mode is still too traumatic, it is recommended to turn the magnetic system knob of the Antigravity system to the left.
Our advice on how to set the machine for yourself
NOTE: The machine does not have a button switch-off function and automatically switches off after 2 minutes of inactivity.
– Pressing the center button briefly, turns the motor on and off;
– The left button decreases the motor speed;
– The right button increases the motor speed;
– Pressing the center button and one of the side buttons at the same time, changes the SmartHit mode.
– Pressing the center button for a longer time (2 seconds), switches between the speed memory slots;
– Pressing the center button for a long time (5 seconds), opens the setup menu.
Control buttons
To fix that and start the calibration, press any button
(e.g. restart the motor or change the speed).
If the cartridge is changed or the needle hang is changed by more than 1/3 of a turn of the nut while the motor is on, the calibration will be overhauled. This will cause the electronic adjustment (hardness/softness) to work stronger or weaker than set.
When the motor is switched on or the speed is changed, the cartridge stiffness is automatically calibrated, meaning that the machine adapts to the cartridge stiffness for optimal performance.
Auto-calibration of power setting
To do this, enter the menu by long pressing the center button (5 seconds), the information page will be displayed and after 3 seconds the Start-stop time setting page will appear. Use the right and left buttons to set the desired value. To exit the menu, press the center button, the setting will be saved automatically.
This function can be deactivated or the switching off time can be changed between 3, 10 or 30 seconds in the Start-stop menu section.
When the machine is stationary in a horizontal position (lying on the table, for example), the motor automatically switches off after 3, 10 or 30 seconds, and automatically switches on when the machine is moving (lifted off the table, for example).
Start-Stop function
Replacing the battery requires removing two screws with a torx 5 screwdriver (wrench).
– ‘negative’ (flat, larger diameter) –
to the battery compartment cover
+ ‘positive’ (convex, smaller diameter) –
into the machine housing
Incorrect positioning of the battery will result in immediate damage to the machine!
Attention! Ensure that the polarity is correct when inserting the battery into the machine! (see picture)
Li-Ion 18650 rechargeable batteries purchased by yourself can be installed in the machine.
Battery replacement
We recommend purchasing Vapcell model N40 INR18650 4000 mAh rechargeable batteries.
DO NOT store the machine at temperatures above 45C - this will negatively affect the battery life.
DO NOT store the machine with a fully discharged battery - this will negatively affect the battery life.
DO NOT connect the charger to the machine if there is no battery in the machine.
Attention! When putting the grip back on, make sure that the pusher bar goes into the hole and does not press against the grip walls. If the pusher bar is not in the hole, there is a risk of damage when trying to force it through.
The grip can be removed from the machine by turning the ring as if decreasing the needle hang until the grip detaches from the machine.
How to clean the grip?
Avoid contact of the equipment with contaminated surfaces during and after sterilization.
Compatible with autoclaves, ozone sterilizers and cold sterilization methods using non-aggressive solutions with low acid or alkaline levels.
DO NOT use dry heat sterilization or aggressive sterilization fluids (high acid or alkaline levels). This will result in damage and loss of warranty!
For sterilization we recommend CaviCide™ Cleaning and disinfectant solution and Madacide-FD or products with similar composition.
To ensure smooth rotation of the needle depth adjustment mechanism, eliminate squeaking, and reduce wear of the grip, we recommend cleaning the grip threads and lubricating it with petroleum jelly.
Lubrication is necessary when you notice uneven or difficult rotation of the adjustment ring or hear a squeaking sound during needle depth adjustment.
To apply:
It is necessary to remove the grip (turn the needle depth adjustment ring until the grip detaches from the machine). Clean the threads on the grip from dirt and the threads inside the adjustment ring. Then apply a little (a couple of drops) of vaseline to the ends of the thread, spread it evenly over the threads and reinstall the grip.
Grip Thread Lubrication
To reduce noise and improve the smoothness of cartridge movement, we recommend applying a small amount of petroleum jelly to the tip of the cartridge pusher and the contact point between the pusher and the cartridge. The amount should be approximately the size of a match head or less.
