HK-1 Injector｜Usage Guidelines

1. Fully open the lever

2. Fill tobacco and squeeze appropriately.
When filling a 100mm empty tube, priority should be given to filling the corners on both sides of the extrusion chamber.

3. Pressure off lever
When pressing and pulling the lever, be careful not to place your fingers at the entrance of the tobacco to avoid injury!
When pressing on the lever feels difficult or obstructed during use, do not use force to press it. Instead, open the lever to clear any obstacles before continuing with the operation.
Common reasons and solutions for feeling difficult or obstructed when pressing the lever:

Excessive compaction of tobacco filling in the extrusion chamber.
→ Open the lever to reduce some tobacco.

Pushing spoon stuck by tobacco and unable to move
→ Open the lever in place and clean the stuck tobacco

- The tobacco oil powder adheres to the extrusion chamber and spoon.
  → Follow the “Cleaning Guidelines” for cleaning.

If the spoon cannot be reset, the chamber should be cleaned, and the lever should be pressed without tobacco to retract the spoon in place before continuing to use.

Adjust the pushing distance of the spoon only when necessary.

Completely remove the adjustment screw and replenish hydraulic oil only when necessary.

Suggestions for Tobacco

Choose tobacco with suitable humidity.

Tobacco with high humidity can stick to the extrusion chamber and the spoon, or clump inside, making it difficult to inject smoothly into the empty tube.
Tobacco with low humidity lacks elasticity, is prone to crushing and being too tight, which affects the quality of cigarettes made (resulting in cigarettes being too tight). In addition, some tobacco debris will remain in the extrusion chamber and gradually accumulate as a hidden danger to the machine jam.

We suggest abandoning the use of powdered tobacco at the bottom of the bag or using a sieve for screening, which can easily lead to machine jams. (Same as in tobacco with low humidity).

Store tobacco or injected cigarettes appropriately to avoid environmental changes in tobacco humidity.

Note

Applicable to tobacco only. During the operation of the machine, it is necessary to avoid foreign objects other than tobacco entering the squeezing chamber to avoid causing danger and machine damage.

It is recommended to clean the nozzle and extrusion chamber after each use or regularly. Tobacco will inevitably leave behind tar powder during the injection process. Long term accumulation may lead to machine jams. When cleaning live models of machines, the machine power should be turned off to avoid accidentally touching the switch, which may cause danger or damage to the machine.
