SAFETY NOTICE
CLASS III
SYMBOL
A Class III appliance is designed to be supplied from a separate/safety extra-
low voltage (SELV) power source. The voltage from a SELV supply is low enough
that, under normal conditions, a person can safely come into contact, without
the risk of electrical shock. The extra safety features built into Class I and
Class II appliances are, therefore, not required. For medical devices,
compliance with Class III is not considered sufficient protection, and
further, more-stringent regulations apply to such equipment.

OPERATING THE ONE
Voltage Selection: Using the Voltage up and Voltage down buttons you can cycle
through the different setting. A solid color equals a whole value (Ex. Solid
green indicates 10V). Blinking color is a half increment (Ex. Flashing green
indicates 10.5V).Use the power button to start and stop the machine.
REMOVING THE BATTERY
Twist clockwise to close/activate battery.
Twist counter-clockwise to open. Push down & keep twisting counter-clockwise to deactivate battery. NOTE: Cap is shipped in the OFF position.
CHANGING THE BATTERY
The ONE is compatible with the Panasonic NCR 18500A Flat-Top Battery. To
detach the cap, ensure you have a firm grip on the body of the ONE and Grip.
Turn the cap counter- clockwise and pull away. Slide the battery out of the
battery housing. To replace battery, slide new battery into housing. Battery
must sit correctly to ensure power electric leads align correctly. Avoid
contact with the ONE power leads while changing battery.
Turn power off before removing battery from machine.
CHARGING YOUR BATTERY
HOW TO CHARGE YOUR BATTERY
First, plug the effect Slim K2 charger into a wall outlet using the
included power adapter. Next, insert the Panasonic 18500A battery into one of
the charging bays on the effect Slim K2 charger. Be sure to insert the battery
with the positive (+) end facing up, and the negative (-) end facing down. The
effect Slim K2 charger will automatically detect the type of battery you have
inserted and display the battery life on the screen. Once the battery is fully
charged, the effect Slim K2 charger will automatically stop charging and
display a message indicating that the charging process is complete. You can
then remove the battery from the charger and use it as needed.
ADJUSTING NEEDLE DEPTH
ADJUSTING NEEDLE DEPTH
To adjust needle depth, hold the machine body while turning the Grip. A
counter-clockwise turn decreases depth, while a clockwise turn increases depth
(also known as needle hang).
Each time you turn the grip you can feel the tactile feedback of the
ratcheting mechanism.
Each “click” displaces your needle 0.2 mm and allows you to set your needle
precisely without involuntarily turning while tattooing.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
VOLTAGE PARAMETERS
While voltage is a parameter that will vary from artist to artist, the ONE has
been tested to operate at a minimum voltage of 5 Volts to a maximum voltage of
12 Volts.
Depending on the type of needle configuration, or brand you use, feel free to
adjust the voltage to obtain the desired performance.
