Warning of electrical voltage

Tasks which require the device to be opened must only be carried out by authorised specialist companies or by Trotec.

The device has been checked for proper functioning several times during production. If malfunctions occur nonetheless, check the device according to the following list.

The device does not start:

Check the power connection.
Check the power cable and mains plug for damage. If you notice damages, do not try to take the device back into operation.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Check the on-site fusing.
Wait for 10 minutes before restarting the device. If the device is not starting, have the electrics checked by a specialist company or by Trotec.

The surface of the device bulges outward:

The material expands due to heating. This is a perfectly normal process. No measures are required.

The surface of the device only heats up slightly:

The mains voltage does not meet the requirements. Check the mains voltage.
The ambient temperature is low. This is a perfectly normal process. No measures are required.

The device makes noises after switch-on:

The material expands due to heating. The insulation expands as well and generates the noises. This is a perfectly normal process. No measures are required.

Note
Wait for at least 3 minutes after maintenance and repair work. Only then switch the device back on.

The device still does not operate correctly after these checks:

Please contact the customer service. If necessary, bring the device to an authorised specialist electrical company or to Trotec for repair.
