Introduction
Safety
Pg. 2
• Stability during use, transportation, assembly, dismantling when out of service, testing, and foreseeable
breakdowns: This equipment is designed and expected to be stable during all foreseeable conditions, so long as the
procedures and instructions given in this manual are followed.
• Safe handling, transport, and storage: Before storing the unit, detach Flash Head from AutoFlash and store sepa-
rately. No special handling considerations are necessary, except to be aware of the weight of the equipment and take
standard precautions for moving such weights:
Autoflash (AF-120/AF-240) 51 Lb(25 kg) 31” x 22” x 14” (79 x 56 x 36 cm)
Please read and understand all parts of this manual to avoid any Residual Risks.
• Your Vastex Autoflash moves a high temperature heater. There is an inherent danger when dealing with a heat source of this
degree. These heaters are often run at temperatures near 1,000° F(538° C). Any body part or item that comes in direct contact
with the heater on the Flash Head will be damaged. The heaters are guarded against direct contact from all sides except the bot-
tom.
• The workspace that your Autoflash occupies must be kept clean and clear of debris.
• Do not store items, especially food or drink, on the top of your Vastex equipment.
• The room that you are operating your Autoflash in should be adequately ventilated. Please refer to the MSDS sheet of the ink you
are flashing/curing.
