Operating Instructions for VacuPik® Pen
- To begin using your vacuum pen:
- Select a probe with a vacuum cup that is slightly smaller in diameter to the outline of the parts that you want to pick and place. Securely install it on the tapered end of the vacuum handle. Selecting a vacuum cup that is too large or too small will result in improper operation. (For help selecting a size give us a call at 520-799-800 or email us at handtools@tdiinternational.com)
