Warning: Before carrying out any maintenance always ensure
that the engraver is disconnected from the power supply.
Cleaning
The body of the engraver should be kept clean and free of oil or grease.
Clean regularly with a soft damp cloth and mild detergent. Take care not to
wet the engraver and ensure that is fully dry by wiping with a dry cloth. Do
not use any solvent based cleaners such as thinners or white spirit as they
may damage the surface of the engraver body.
The universal chuck should be kept clean and free from dust or waste
material. The chuck can be removed from the engraver by unscrewing it from
the locating thread. The chuck can then be dismantled by unscrewing the
knurled ring from the rear backing plate to separate the collet from the other
two components. Any waste deposits should be removed from each of the
components using a small, clean paintbrush. Apply a light coat of oil to the
thread before re-assembling the chuck on to the engraver.
Sharpening the Engraving Point
(Please refer to sections 4 and 9 of this instruction manual in order to
correctly identify the engraving points details below)
Some of the points used with the engraver can be sharpened in order to
maintain their performance as detailed below:
Warning: if attempting to sharpen any of the points on a bench
grinder, always take extreme care and do not attempt to grind
the points unless they can be securely held in a suitable jig or
fitment. The points are too small to be held by hand when using
a grinder.
A2 extra fine solid carbide tipped point: Can be sharpened on a bench
grinder provided that a suitable green grit stone is used. Alternatively an oil
stone can be used to maintain the point. The length of the carbide tip used in
this point will allow it to be sharpened several times.
A4 carbide tipped point: Can be sharpened on a grinder provided that a
suitable green grit stone is used. Alternatively an oil stone can be used to
maintain the point. This point has a very small carbide tip and so will have a
limited working life and may on be re-sharpened 2 or 3 times before it will
need to be replaced.
A5 steel point: Can be sharpened using a bench grinder. Alternatively an oil
stone can be used to maintain the point.
A6 & A7 ball point: Does not need to be sharpened or maintained.
A8 abrasive point: Does not need to be sharpened – replace when the
abrasive material becomes excessively worn.
A18 to A22 carving chisels: Can be sharpened using an oil stone to maintain
the cutting edge.
Servicing
There are no user replaceable parts contained within the machine. If the
engraver stops working correctly or if the power cable becomes worn or
damaged and requires replacement, this must be done by the manufacturer
or their agent in order to avoid incorrect fitting leading to a safety hazard.
