Introduction
The HANDSKIT 946BP is an upgraded 2-in-1 heating separator machine designed for professional and DIY cellphone repair. This device facilitates the separation of glass lenses from LCD screens and aids in the removal of adhesive. By using this machine, you can efficiently replace only the broken glass screen, saving costs by retaining a functional LCD assembly.
Safety Information
- Always operate the machine on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
- Ensure proper ventilation to dissipate heat.
- Do not touch the heating plate directly when it is hot. Use appropriate heat-resistant gloves.
- Keep the machine away from flammable materials.
- Disconnect power when not in use or before cleaning.
- Do not attempt to repair the machine yourself. Refer to qualified service personnel.

Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the machine and all accessories from the packaging. Inspect for any damage.
- Placement: Place the separator machine on a flat, stable, and heat-resistant workbench. Ensure there is adequate space around the unit for ventilation.
- Power Connection: Connect the power cord to the machine's power input socket (located at the rear) and then plug it into a suitable electrical outlet. Ensure the power switch is in the 'OFF' position before connecting.
- Accessory Preparation: Prepare the separation wire by threading it through the included handles.
Operating Instructions
- Power On: Flip the 'POWER SWITCH' to the 'ON' position. The machine will begin to heat up.
- Set Temperature: Rotate the 'Temperature Control' knob to set the desired temperature between 60°C and 120°C. For most cellphone screen separations, a temperature between 80°C and 100°C is common, but consult specific device repair guides for optimal settings. Allow the machine to reach the set temperature, indicated by the temperature display (if available, or by waiting a few minutes for stabilization).
- Place Device: Carefully place the cellphone screen (LCD side down) onto the heating plate.
- Activate Suction: Flip the 'SUCTION SWITCH' to the 'ON' position. The built-in vacuum pump will activate, securely holding the screen in place on the heating plate.
- Separate Glass: Once the screen is sufficiently heated (the adhesive should soften), use the separation wire with handles. Gently slide the wire between the glass and the LCD, moving it back and forth to cut through the adhesive. Exercise caution to avoid damaging the LCD or flex cables.
- Remove Device: After separation, turn off the 'SUCTION SWITCH' to release the screen. Carefully remove the separated components.
- Power Off: Once finished, turn off the 'POWER SWITCH' and allow the machine to cool down completely before storing or cleaning.
Maintenance
- Cleaning the Heating Plate: After each use, once the machine has cooled down, gently wipe the heating plate with a soft, dry cloth to remove any adhesive residue or debris. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Check Power Cord: Periodically inspect the power cord for any signs of damage or fraying. Replace if necessary.
- Fuse Replacement: If the machine does not power on, check the fuse located at the rear of the unit. Replace with a fuse of the same rating (8A).
- Storage: Store the machine in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
- Machine Not Powering On:
- Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into both the machine and the electrical outlet.
- Check if the power switch is in the 'ON' position.
- Inspect the fuse at the rear of the unit and replace if blown.
- Heating Plate Not Heating:
- Verify the temperature control knob is set to a desired temperature above 60°C.
- Allow sufficient time for the plate to reach the set temperature.
- Suction Pump Not Working:
- Ensure the 'SUCTION SWITCH' is in the 'ON' position.
- Check that the screen is placed flat and covers the suction holes on the heating plate to create a proper vacuum seal.
- Ineffective Separation:
- Increase the temperature slightly within the recommended range (60-120°C) to better soften the adhesive.
- Ensure the screen has been heated for an adequate amount of time.
- Use a fresh, thin separation wire. Note that tin wire 0.08MM is fixed, and other wires (0.05MM or 0.06MM) may be shipped randomly.
User Tips
- For stubborn adhesive, apply a small amount of specialized adhesive remover to the edges of the screen after initial heating, then proceed with separation.
- Always wear safety glasses to protect your eyes from potential glass shards during separation.
- Practice on old or broken screens first to get a feel for the correct temperature and wire tension before working on a valuable device.
- When using the separation wire, maintain a consistent, gentle pressure to avoid damaging the LCD underneath.
