Complete guide: Cheyenne Footpedal
The Cheyenne pedal is the foot switch that starts and stops the tattoo machine, designed primarily for Cheyenne power supplies. Its round shape gives it 360° accessibility, meaning you can activate it from any direction without having to place your foot in a specific position. It is a professional, durable accessory, made in Germany, suitable both for the artist at the bench and for those who travel to conventions or guest spots.
How to use
- Connect the pedal cable to the pedal output of the power supply, using the cinch (RCA) connector. For other types of power supplies, you need a suitable adapter.
- Place the pedal on the floor, in front of the foot you will be working with. The non-slip base keeps it in place on most surfaces.
- Thanks to the round shape with 360° access, you don't need to position it precisely; you can press it from any angle.
- You can keep your foot relaxed on the pedal without starting the machine; the strong springs are calibrated not to activate accidentally.
- Press firmly and deliberately to start the machine, and lift your foot to stop it; it is an on/off switch.
- Adjust the speed and working power from the power supply, not from the pedal; the pedal only starts and stops.
- At the end, disconnect the pedal and clean it. Being IPX6 certified, it resists splashes and can be wiped with a disinfectant solution.
Tips from us
- Run the approximately 2 m cable cleanly from the power supply to the floor, so it doesn't get tangled or pull on the pedal during work.
- Always check compatibility with your power supply. The pedal is made for Cheyenne power supplies (cinch connector), and for other power supplies you need the correct adapter.
- Keep the base of the pedal clean and free of dust or dried liquids, so the non-slip layer maintains its grip on the floor.
- Since it is an on/off switch, get used to making fine speed adjustments from the power supply, not by pressing harder on the pedal.
- It is lightweight and compact, so it is worth keeping in your travel kit for conventions and guest spots.
- Remember that it comes with a 24-month warranty; keep the proof of purchase from tatuat.ro.
Warning: The pedal is used in an environment where hygiene is essential. Disinfect it after each client by wiping it with a cloth and disinfectant solution. The IPX6 certification means resistance to powerful splashes from any direction, not submersion, so do not immerse it in liquid or hold it under a water jet. Disconnect it from the power supply before cleaning and make sure it is dry before reconnecting.
