STIGMA ROTARY® USER MANUAL
WHAT’S INCLUDED Inside the box you will find, a protective case, the Force pen, a Power Pack (only included with the Wireless version), an RCA Plug, two cartridge receivers (one already installed and one extra) to switch between Stigma® Advanced Safety cartridges and standard cartridges, a hex key to install the cartridge receivers and a quick start guide. MACHINE OVERVIEW The FORCE is a revolutionary wireless pen machine which can also be used with a traditional RCA cable.
VOLTAGE RANGE The voltage range is 4 - 11 V and the recommended voltage range is 5 - 9 V. Finding the perfect voltage is subjective and varies from artist to artist. Depending on the type of work and cartridge configuration you are using, feel free to adjust anywhere between these values to find what’s best for you. As a general guideline, we suggest to work between 5 - 7 V for shading and 7 - 9 V for lining.
MOTION CONTROL This function has been implemented for users that tend to adjust their voltage more often and prefer speed over precision. Hold the ON/OFF button while the motor is running and start rotating the machine 180°. Voltage increases as the machine points upwards and decreases as it points downwards. Releasing the ON/OFF button will lock in the new voltage values. V .0 V 7.5 V 9. 0 11.0 V 6 4.
DIGITAL GIVE & BOOST The motor as a default runs in constant mode which means the stitching speed is not affected by the skin’s resistance. Enabling give will allow the machine to respond to the skin’s resistance and become softer. By choosing between 3 levels of give you can adjust the sensitivity and softness. GIVE-1 is subtle and allows for easier shading, GIVE on the 2nd and 3rd level will make the machine even softer and sensitive to the skin. Choosing the best option is subjective.
If you are not using the Force paired with a device with myStigma® app installed, it is recommended to keep the BLE setting off due to power consumption. WARNING MESSAGES BATTERY LOW. : The battery is empty and the motor can’t start. OVER POWER PROTECT. : This warning pops up whenever the current running through the device exceeds a certain amount of power. It also cuts off the power to the motor to avoid causing damage or implications to both the machine and the power pack.
The grip of the machine is autoclavable. The rest parts (body, power pack, rca plug) can be sanitized from the outside with cold sterilization products. After autoclaving you can use a hint of synthetic grease (eg Super Lube) around the internal threading of the grip or on the O-rings of the machine’s body for optimal and smooth operation. Do not disassemble, modify, tamper with the machine or any of its parts. IMPORTANT NOTES Any cartridge brand and needle configuration is supported by this pen machine.
Service includes a proper diagnosis of the device and its motor and ensures that all parts are running perfectly. Any broken/malfunctioning parts are exchanged with new ones and a clean up as well as fresh lubrication is also conducted. Keep in mind that servicing is subject to fees. Never try to repair, modify the machine or any of its parts. Doing so will void the warranty. It’s always preferable to send it in to our repair center.
