→ Do not use any type of lubricant on the fastener path. Use only compressed air to clean.

→ Do not use any solvents on the Swiftach Power Unit.

Only trained personnel should operate pneumatically operated machinery and equipment.

Compressed air may be dangerous should an operator not be familiar with it.

Assembly, handling or repair of pneumatic systems should be performed by trained and

experienced personnel.

Do not service machinery/equipment or attempt to remove components until safety is conﬁrmed.

1) Inspection and maintenance of machinery/equipment should only be performed after

conﬁrmation of safe locked-out control positions.

2) When equipment is to be removed, conﬁrm the safety process as mentioned above.

Switch off air and electrical supplies and exhaust all residual compressed air in the

system.

3 Before machinery/equipment is re-started, ensure all safety measures to prevent sudden

movement of cylinders etc. (Supply air into the system gradually to create back pressure)

WARNING! Always install the needle guard whenever the unit is not in use, or when

servicing the SPU module. Do not remove or replace the needle without installing the needle

guard ﬁrst.

Do not install the product unless the safety instructions have been read and understood.

If air leakage increases, or if the equipment does not operate properly, stop the operation.

WARNING! Turn off air supply before beginning installation.

Before the ﬁrst use:

→ Read safety and manual instructions.

→ Take the machine out of the box and put it on the ﬂat solid surface.

→ Close main air valve on the machine before connecting air supply.

→ Install air supply hose (see page 8) and open main air valve on the machine.

→ Regulate knob for air pressure level at the appropriate pressure (80 psi – 6 bar).

→ Operate with the machine (see page 9, 10).

Before installing air to the machine make sure that main air supply valve is closed. Install hose

to the air line in a vertical position on main air supply valve . Open main air supply valve .

To open main air supply valve push it to the left.

To close main air supply valve push it to the right.

Install hose to air line in a vertical position on ﬁlter regulator so that air ﬂow is in the

direction of arrow stamped on the unit’s body.

Blow out the air line to remove scale or other foreign matter before installing the Filter/Regulator.

NOTE: Be sure air line is clean and emptied of water. Air lines tend to condense moisture from the

atmosphere and precautions must be taken to prevent water from entering the attaching unit.

Before operating the SPU, pressurize the air line with knob and check for leaks.

NOTE: Air supply should be regulated by a knob for air pressure level at the appropriate

pressure (80 psi).

CAUTION: use air supply between 40-100 psi. Optimal air installation is 80psi.

Installation of air supply

TAGSON tagging machine has built-in your desired Swiftach Power Unit (module). By changing

the modules you also change type of the fasteners. The module is the main device that runs

fasteners through the power unit. It is pneumatically operated and uses an air range between 40

and 100 psi. There are six basic Avery Dennison modules available:

Standard module SPU1M (standard fasteners):

→ Short needle SPU1M03

→ Long needle SPU1M01

→ Extra Long needle (optional)

Fine module SPU2M (ﬁne fabric fasteners):

→ Short needle SPU2M04

→ Long needle SPU2M02

→ Extra Long needle (optional)

This chapter explains how to operate the Tagson tagging machine.

NOTE: Before operating, please check the air level supply. Air supply must be 80psi (6 bar).

WARNING! Always install the needle guard whenever the unit is not in use, or when

servicing the SPU module. Do not remove or replace the needle without installing the needle guard

ﬁrst.

1. LOADING FASTENERS

All clip fed fasteners are loaded into the power modules through the “T” shaped opening on the

side of the module nose. Either end of the fastener clip can be loaded into the tool.

→ Gently push the clip into the nose until you hear and feel a “click”. This will ensure that the

clip has bottomed out and will not easily pull back.

NOTE: One cannot use standard fasteners on Fine Fabric module (SPU2M) or ﬁne fasteners on

standard module (SPU1M). To avoid jams and needle breaks, we recommend premium quality

fasteners by Avery Dennison.

2. UNLOADING FASTENERS

→ Remove a clip of fasteners by pulling the clip straight back in the opposite direction as

when loading the clip. You will feel some resistance from the spring-loaded detent.

Operations

NOTE: Machine has an ejector rod switch in the front right upper corner. By pressing and

holding the switch, you will activate the ejector rod. Holding the switch with one hand, one may

safely remove the fastener clip from the module with the other hand.

3. CHOOSING PROPER LENGTH FASTENERS

The proper stroke length usually depends on the clearance needed to load the items under the

SPU’s needle. Please note that the shorter the stroke, the faster the cycle time.

All units should be connected to a ﬁlter/regulator to protect and control the SPU.

The thickness of the items to be fastened when compressed must never exceed the working length

of the needle which is used. The spoon opening in the needle must penetrate the items in order for

the fastener to toggle during insertion.

WARNING! Under no circumstances should the dual anti-tie down hand switch be

altered or replaced with a foot pedal or other actuation device.

4. STARTING

Before starting, the following steps should be double checked:

→ Air supply: ﬁlter regulator on the machine must be 80psi (6 bar).

→ Needle position: the lowest point must be about 0.5 cm below the needle plate.

→ Clear the working area.

CAUTION: Always wear protective glasses to prevent eye injuries.

How it works:

To complete the operation, machine has 3 cycles:

CYCLE A: by pressing and holding the ﬁnger switches , module goes down

CYCLE B: when the module is at its lowest position, the machine activates the ejector rod

CYCLE C: by releasing the ﬁnger switches , module goes up

NOTE: to activate the cycle A, press ﬁnger switches with both hands at the same time.

Starting to operate the machine:

→ Load the fasteners

→ Press switch for ejector rod a few times to make sure the module ejects the

fasteners properly

→ Insert the socks below the ski foot

→ Adjust height card holder and socks guides

→ With both hands press the ﬁnger switches and hold them in place

→ While holding switches, the module will go down to its ﬁnal position and eject the

fastener trough the socks

→ Release the switches to lift the module to its upper position

→ Remove the socks from the working area
