SE160 Air Engraving Pen
OperatiOn
For best results, hold the tool firmly by the knurled portion of
the nose (2) and at a natural angle to the working surface, much
as one would hold a pencil. Open the throttle valve (3) fully
by holding the throttle valve (3) securely and turning the tool
clockwise until the tool stops. This will provide maximum power
at the impact point. NOTE: Do not force the tool as this might
damage internal o-rings. The impact force may be adjusted
for various surfaces by holding securely the throttle valve and
turning the tool counterclockwise towards the OFF position. The
tool comes with an engraving needle for a thick plate. To replace
needle, secure the body (1) in a vise fitted with soft jaws and
unscrew nose (2). Using a rubber hammer, tap out needle guide
(6) and replace the needle as desired.
Lubricate pen daily, or each time used, using a light mineral oil,
free from acids, carbon or gummy residue. It is recommended
that the lubricant used has a viscosity of 1.7 + 3.3E/50ºC
(122ºF).
