Product description and parts

• Engraving tip
• Tip release cap
• On/off switch
• Stroke adjustment dial

Operation

Starting and stopping: Connect the power plug to the mains. Remove the protection cap from the engraving tip. Press the on/off switch to start and release it to stop.

Setting the stroke depth: The stroke adjustment dial on top of the tool controls the engraving depth. Turn the dial clockwise for a fine mark and anti-clockwise for a deeper, thicker mark. It is recommended to practice on scrap material first.

Engraving technique: Hold the machine in a vertical position (almost 90 degrees to the workpiece). Use light pressure and guide the point over the work. Do not press down hard. The tool is not suitable for engraving electronic media like CDs or DVDs.

Maintenance

Replacing the engraving tip: Disconnect the tool from the power supply. Remove the protection cap. Loosen the tip release cap by turning it anti-clockwise and remove it. Remove the spring and washer from the old tip, then remove the tip. Slide the washer and spring onto a new tip, insert it into the housing, and tighten the tip release cap clockwise.

Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove accumulated dust. If the body needs cleaning, use a soft damp cloth with mild detergent. Never use alcohol, petrol, or caustic agents. Keep motor ventilation slots clean. Water must never come into contact with the tool.

Troubleshooting

If the engraving is too deep or too shallow, adjust the stroke adjustment dial to a proper position. If the engraving tip is loose or detached, ensure the tip release cap is tightened securely.
