Product Usage Instructions
- Ensure that the replaceable filter housing has a filter installed and is tightly secured to prevent vacuum leaks. Turn the housing clockwise to tighten it.
- Connect one end of the vacuum hose to the barb fitting on the filter housing and the other end to the barb on the vacuum pen with the push button.
- Select a probe with a vacuum cup that is slightly smaller in diameter than the parts you want to pick and place. Install it securely on the tapered end of the vacuum pen tip. Using a vacuum cup that is too large or too small may result in improper operation.
- To pick up a part, gently place the vacuum cup on top of the part. The part should be firmly grasped by the vacuum cup, and the blue LED vacuum level bars will light up to indicate the level of vacuum present
- Move the part to the desired location. To release the part, depress the button on the vacuum pen with your finger. The part will be released, and the blue LED vacuum level bars will indicate the reduced vacuum level.
- Remember to turn off the unit when you have finished using it.

Operation of the ADJUST-A-VAC™ AV-6000
- Ensure that the replaceable filter housing has a filter installed and is snuggly tightened to ensure no vacuum leaks. Turning clockwise tightens. Connect one end of the vacuum hose to the barb fitting on the filter housing and the other end to the barb on the vacuum pen that has the push button.
- 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 on the tapered end of the vacuum pen tip. Selecting a vacuum cup that is too large or too small will result in improper operation.
- Connect the 3-wire ADJUST-A-VAC™ AV-6000 power cord to input power. Turn the ON/OFF switch to the ON position. The LED vacuum level bar will glow at low brightness to show that power is on. To set the vacuum level for the parts you will be handling: First rotate the VACUUM ADJUST knob fully counterclockwise to set the vacuum to the minimum level. Secondly, place the pick-up tip flat on the part that you want to pick up. If the part is not grasped then rotate the VACUUM ADJUSTknob clockwise until the part is grasped sufficiently for handling. The display bars will light up brightly to show the level of vacuum that is present. Push the vacuum release button on the vacuum handle to release the part. When using small part tips several of the bars may illuminate brightly due to the tiny orifice of the tip being used.
- To pick and place a part : Gently place the vacuum cup on the top of the part that you wish to pick up. The part should now be firmly grasped by the vacuum cup. The blue LED vacuum level bars will light up brightly to show the level of vacuum that is present.
- Now move the part to where you want to use it. To release the part simply depress the button with your finger, the part should now be released and the blue LED vacuum level bars will indicate the reduced vacuum level. NOTE: When using small parts tips a partial level of vacuum will be displayed when the tip is installed.
- Remember to turn the unit OFF when you are finished.
