3 1 Safety Issues 1.1 Electric Shock (!) In order to prevent electric shock, please keep the case of the vacuum machine closed when connecting it with power. In order to prevent electric shock caused by the contact of high voltage interface and charged components, please shut down the machine when open the case. To prevent electric shock, even when the power is off, please keep the case of driver and controller closed except for overhaul. Please wiring and check- up of the machine shall be done 10 minutes after the power is cut off and the remaining voltage is vanished when confirmed by multimeters. Please make sure that the machine is grounded. All wiring and check shall be carried out by professionals. Wet handed operation is prohibited. Please check cables connected to the machine and make sure the cables are not damaged and not pressed by heavy objects in case of electric shock. Please avoid exchanging component when the machine is connected to power, or danger would occur. 1.2 Fire Prevention (!) In order to avoid fire, please keep explosives away from the machine when the internal temperature of the machine >150. To avoid fire caused by powerful current, please cut the power at the power side in case of accident. To avoid fire, please make sure the machine is under surveillance during running. To avoid fire caused by high temperature, the power shall be cut off only when the internal temperature of machine is under 100 after the machine is stop from running. To avoid fire, please pull the platform out of the box for cooling down and cut power off when the machine is unexpectedly stopped or in case of power outage.

4 1.3 Injury Prevention (!) Please work with protective gloves, bare hand operation is prohibited, which would cause burning by the edge of the platform or the objects. Make sure the machine is connected to the rated voltage as regulated in the Application Manual, or explosion and damage would occur. Keep wires dry and make sure cables are firmly connected with right interfaces. In order to prevent burning, do not touch the platform directly without any protective gloves when the machine is running or immediately after stop. The height of the printing targets shall be lower than the maximum height of the box entrance, or the platform and the machine would be damaged. Do not put hand into the entrance of the platform in case of injury. 1.4 Other Issue Please be careful with the following issues in case of accidents, injury, electric shock and damage Delivery and Installation Please handle and move the machine with proper lifting apparatus to avoid damage. Packing boxes of the machine shall avoid stacking, inclining or inverting. Please be careful in moving without shocking. Do not turn on the machine when elements are found missing or damaged. The cooling fan vent at the top of the machine shall not be covered. Operational Environment: Temperature: -15 ~60 Humidity: 90% Keep the machine away from corrosive gas, inflammable gas or fog, etc Wiring and Installation Please install the machine in noise filtered environment if the voltage is instable, or to connect the machine with matchable voltage stabilizer with the help of proper cables.

5 1.4.3 Commissioning Check all the parameters and make sure the start would be safe. Do not remould the machine, and inspection and commissioning are demanded after being put unused for a long time Decommissioning and Dispose The machine shall be disposed as industrial waste. 2 General Introduction This 3D vacuum sublimation machine is featured with a sealed thermal circulating system with outstanding thermal insulation, vacuum transfer system and an accurate driving controlling system. In addition, the machine is perfect in thermal insulation and energy conservation, capable of image transfer on surfaces or sides of 3 dimensional subjects.

6 3 Application Scope and Characteristics 3.1 Application This 3D sublimation vacuum machine is designed with the capacity of transferring print onto any proceeded 3D objects, without carving and chromatography printing. Besides, the one-stop printing with the machine is limitless either in quantity or color. The printing appears clear, vivid and color fading resistant, making it perfect for various printing, such as customized products, digital products, advertising materials and building materials. 3.2 Suitable Materials Applicable materials includes coated pearl plate, coated wortle plate, coated stone, ceramic glass, crystal, wood, chemical fabric, cloth and leather. 3.3 Characteristics High efficiency and energy conservative With the equipment of heating system and the effective thermal circulating system, the machine can reach 180 within minutes, thus shortening the heating time and improving efficiency. Also, the box inside is conditioned with even temperature. The heating balance for the new material to the box is fast, which saves energy consumption and enhancing transferring quality. Cost effective Air-compressors and hydraulic systems are avoided, reducing costs. The design of efficient thermal preservation in the box further saves thermal loss which decreases the producing costs. Eco-friendly With the sealed electric heating system, air pollution is avoided during printing. Due to the application of a vacuum pump and soundless ball bearing tracks, vibrating noise is largely reduced. Durable The machine is equipped with advanced highly elastic screen, two-side coated thermal proof silicon and fluoro-rubber coated layers, make it elastic, durable and suitable for continuous processing under high temperature. Widely applicable and competitive The machine is suitable for transfer printing on various special 3D subjects, resulting in sound printing effect with the vacuum pressing and tight wrapping technology.

8 6 Application Description 6.1 Installation and Commissioning 1. Unpack the package and check if any components missing or damaged; 2. Mounting the machine in line with the provided Manual; 3. Connect the machine with the right power source. Note: Make sure the power matches the rated voltage in case of danger. 4. Check the power source; make sure the level of vacuum pump oil is higher than the normal level; check the voltage at the wiring point, normally between -0.04~0.08Mpa; check the set temperature 170~200 and timer at 30 seconds to 10 minutes. Upon confirmation, proceed with the following step as in figure 1 to 4; Figure one: controlling board and instruments Figure two: Voltage at wiring points relay Figure three: time

9 Figure four: Auto temperature controller 6.2 Power On & Pre-heating 1. Turn on the power switch clockwise and the instruments start working; 2. Turn the vacuum pump switch to on, then the pump begins working till reaching the rated pressure (normally at mpa); 3. Turn on the circulating fan to preheat, set the time relay at around 20 minutes which can avoid repeated alarm, and set the time according to different subjects; 4. Turn on heating switch A and B, set the temperature controller to 180. Then the actual temperature will display accordingly. As the machine is heating, the temperature will be on rise continuously. When the time relay reads 10 to 20 minutes, the machine stars working. 6.3 Printing Manipulation 1. Turn on the circulating fan to work, and set the time relay at the needed time according to the target. 2. When the controller reads L as showing in Figure five, press the reset button and press auto/manual, then the controller will read as showing in figure six.

10 Figure Five Figure Six 3. Now the platform is ready, press < for in and > for out, producing the same function as the in / out button on the controlling board, as showing in Figure Seven Figure Seven 4. Press out button, the board will be pulled out of the case, turn the vacuum switch to the middle, open the board and put the target in, close the board and turn the vacuum switch to extract, which will extract air out of the board and the thermal elastic screen will wrap the target firmly; 5. Press in, the board will be pulled into the case, and the time relay starts countdown. When the time is up, the alarm sounds and then the board is pulled out; turn the vacuum switch to release, which will open the board and then the target could be taken out. 6. Tear off the transfer paper and check the printing result. 6.4 Power Off 1. Press the stop button, switch the circulating fan to preheat, vacuum pump switch to off, pull the platform out of the box and open the upper cover of the platform. Then turn the vacuum switch to vent and wait the air pressure back to 0. Finally, set the delayed time to over 20 minutes for cooling. 2. The temperature will decreases on the controller. When the temperature is lower than 80, push the platform into the box and turn the power switch off.
