Machine locaon:

Do not use the printer outdoors! The

printer is developed to be installed on a

ﬂat, dry surface. This surface or table

must be capable of carrying a weight of at

least 10 Kg (ex. The force used to spread

the paste). The printer should be used

with room temperatures between 15 and

25 degrees Celsius.

Use the printer only in well venlated

rooms. During the prinng the ﬂux will

release some gasses. These gasses relea-

sed by the ﬂux can be unhealthy, please

follow the safety instrucons of your

paste supplier.

SP1260 M1 STENCIL PRINTER

USER MANUAL. VERSION 2.10

Introducon

Normal use:

The printer is developed for prinng paste on PCBs only. Do not use the printer for prinng

on food, animals or any other materials. You will void your warranty if you do not ignore these

instrucons. When used for anything other than prinng paste on PCBs you will void

your warranty!

Remark

Pictures in this manual could be diﬀerent than the actual model you purchased.

They are meant to explain the printers’ use and funcon.

The SP1260 M1 is designed to put soldering paste on PBC’s with a “stencil”. A

stencil is a thin metal plate which has holes on the same posion as where the pads on the

PCB are located.

Unlike other brands of stencil printers, the SP1260 M1 has unique features for user friendly

handling of stencils and PCB’s.

This machine is produced and packed with special care to deliver you the best quality possible.

We sll advice you use extra care while unpacking the machine. Aer unpacking make sure to

look for any damage on the outside of the machine and immediately report it to the transport

company.

If you do not make any remarks of transport damage on the freight papers, you will lose your

righo any insurance claims!

Carefully unpack the stencil printer and keep the original package in case you need to ship the

unit.

Please check to be sure the following items are included:

• 1 stencil printer SP1260 M1

• 3 Allen Keys, metric sizes

• 1 non-permanent ﬁne liner marker pen

• 6 magnec placeholders for PCBs

• 2 magnec points of support for PCBs

• 1 transparent outline-sheet to deﬁne PCB posion

• 1 squeegee

Some of the features include:

• Stencils do not need mounng holes.

• Fixing a stencil is fast, easy and requires no heang of the stencil.

• Posioning of PCBs is simple but eﬀecve.

• You may use for single as well as double sided PCBs. Even if there are already components on

one side!

Seng up

Place the stencil printer on a stable surface. This surface should be heavy enough to carry the

weight of the machine including the pressure you are using while “prinng” with the machine.

Leave about 10 cm on each side of the machine free for easy access to the X-axis, Y-axis and

height adjustments.

Geng started

Installing the stencil

1. Loosen up the Y-axis alignment or stencil tensioner. (10)

2. Unscrew the eight screws of the stencil frame. (A)

3. Place the stencil in the ﬁrst stencil holder.

4. Tighten the four screws.

5. Repeat step 1 – 4 for the second stencil holder.

6. Tighten the stencil tensioner. (10)

Installing the ﬁrst PCB

1. Open the printer. (picture A)

2. Place the PCB roughly in its posion with 4 to 6 magnec placeholders.

3. For large board use the two magnec points and place them in the middle of the PCB.

4. Place the transparent outline plate over the PCB and close the printer. (picture B)

5. Search two easy to idenfy holes in the stencil which are above the outline plate. Then use

the marker pen to place spots on the outline plate. Aer this open the printer. (picure A)

6. Adjust the PCB so that the PCB pads are at the same locaon as the marker points.

Operang the stencil printer

Maintenance and care

Once the installaon is completed in the order described above, it is easy to place successive

PCBs on the placeholders.

BUT BE CAREFULL

Due to the fact that no PCB is the same, it is advisable to check if the PCB pads sll exactly

match the

stencil holes before each print.

Let’s start!

1. Place a PCB on the place holders and close the printer as described before. Check if

the holes and pads are sll aligned.

2. Put the solder paste on the backside of the stencil with a spatula. Take care that the

solder paste is applied over the full width of the stencil cut-out.

3. Place the squeegee behind the solder paste under a 45-60 degree angle and, in a

zigzagging moon while applying a lile pressure, move the squeegee to the front side

of the stencil.

Make sure that all the holes in the stencil are ﬁlled with solder paste.

4. Remove the remaining paste at the end of the stencil with the squeegee.

5. Carefully open the printer and remove the PCB. It is now ready for assembly!

6. For successive prinng repeat from step 1.

Use the SP912 M1 only in a dry, clean locaon and strictly avoid aggressive environmental

condions such as etching equipment. Clean the machine aer use with a solvent that only

removes paste and has no aggressive elements in it that could aﬀect the machine or the stencil.

Note:

To prevent corrosion, slightly oil all metal surfaces twice or several mes a year with resin and

acid free machine oil. No further lubricaon is needed or advised.

7. Remove the outline plate without moving the PCB and close the printer again. (picture B)

8. Use the boom and top height controls to bring the stencil just above the PCB. Less space is

beer.

9. Use the X- and Y-axis for small adjustments to align the stencil holes and PCB pads.

10. Your printer is now ready for prinng!

Cleaning the stencil frame

Product speciﬁcaons

Warranty

For easy cleaning of the stencil frame turn the top height adjustment knob “A” clockwise unl

you can li the frame from the base plate. Aer cleaning, replace the frame on the base plate

and turn the knob “A” counter clockwise to secure it.
