USER MANUAL
SAFETY NOTICE
CLASS III SYMBOL A Class III appliance is designed to be powered by a separated/safety extra-low voltage (SELV) power source. The voltage from a SELV supply is low enough that under normal conditions, a person can safely come into contact with it without risk of electrical shock. The extra safety features built into Class I and Class II appliances are therefore not required. For medical devices, compliance with Class III is not considered sufficient protection. Therefore, more stringent regulations apply to such equipment.

ADJUSTING NEEDLE DEPTH

decreases needle depth

ADJUSTING NEEDLE DEPTH
To adjust needle depth, hold the machine body and MotorBolt while turning the Grip. A counterclockwise turn decreases depth, while a clockwise turn increases depth (also known as needle hang). Each time you turn the grip it allows you to set your needle precisely without involuntarily turning while tattooing.

VOLTAGE PARAMETERS
While voltage is a parameter that will vary from artist to artist, this machine has been tested to operate at a minimum voltage of around 4 Volts with a maximum voltage of 9.5 Volts. Depending on the type of needle configuration or brand you use, feel free to adjust the voltage to obtain the desired performance. Note: Exceeding 9.5 Volts is not recommended.
ACCEPTED NEEDLES
Use cartridge needles with internal membrane. This will avoid accidental contamination inside your machine. Fluids such as ink, water or oil inside the machine will void warranty of the device, and may require replacement of internal parts.
MAINTENANCE
· Apollo is sold pre-lubricated from the factory and does not require internal lubrication. · Prevent any type of external elements from entering inside the machine as they will disrupt the
motion of the component and contaminate lubrication. · The grip of the machine is autoclavable. Use only steam autoclaves at temperatures no higher
than 270° Fahrenheit or 132.222° Celsius. Add a hint of ointment or PTFE grease around internal opening of grip or on stabilizing friction O-rings for optimal functionality after autoclaving. Refer to page 5 for additional information. · Machine Body and MotorBolt can be sanitized from the outside with cold sterilization products. · Never spray the surface directly to prevent fluids from entering the machine. Always use pads or disposable paper towels to apply sterilization products.
WARRANTY
· All the housing components (Grip, Machine Body and MotorHousing) are covered by a lifetime warranty.
· Internal parts are subject to wear and the motor itself will be covered by a 1-year warranty from the date of purchase.
· Motor warranty is void if motor shows signs of being dropped, internal fluids enter the motor and/or motor shows signs of being tampered with in any way.

HANDY TIPS
The following tips will help you get the most out of your Apollo and avoid potential issues: · Always secure your machine. Dropping the machine can cause damage to the magnets, bearings
and motor brushes. · Use only cartridges with membranes to avoid contamination. · Do not exceed the suggested voltage. · Always use power supplies with at least 1Amp of current supply. · Rinse your needle frequently to avoid pigment drying up and slowing down your cartridges. · When rinsing your needle, ensure to dip only the tip of the cartridge to avoid fluids back flow. · Inspect your needles prior to use. · Use only quality cables. A good connection will ensure consistent performance. · Avoid scratching the surface of the embodiments. · Use only FDA-approved cold sterilization solutions for disinfection. · Do not lubricate machine unless instructed otherwise. · Store your machine in a secure place.
