Must-Read Upon Power-On

1. Check that the host is in good condition and inspect the wiring for any loose or detached wire ends.

2. Turn on the main power supply, heat the machine, and after reaching the set temperature for five minutes, increase the speed to 5 Hz. Feed the film in and run it slowly; once material begins to extrude from the die outlet, gradually accelerate. Once the silicone has softened, connect the die head, adjust the die gap, and proceed with normal production.

3. When shutting down, thoroughly extrude all silicone rubber from the barrel (do not allow the machine to idle for extended periods). Open the die head and clean out any remaining material to prevent interference with the next production run. Finally, turn off the power.
