Notes on Wood burning Tips
1.
Different Wood burning Pen tips can provide different styles.
2.
Only change tip when the tip is cooled.
3.
Changing tips while the tip is hot will easily damage the screw-threads of both the tip
and the tool, and in some cases break the tip.
4.
Tips are made of brass.
5.
Never use excessive force when screwing the tip onto the tool. Otherwise the tip may get
stuck in the tool after use because of the natural physical characteristics of brass.
6.
When changing tips, ensure tip is in perfect vertical direction and in-line with the
screw-threads. If the screw is slanted or the screw is not in-line with the screw-threads,
forcing the tip into the tool will damage the screw-threads of both the tip and the tool,
making the tool impossible to fit any tips.
7.
When wood burning, never use pressure or force on the tip as this will cause the tip to
bend. Always let the heated tip do the work.
8.
For some larger tips, after continuous burning on the work surface, tip temperature may
lower and need to regain heat for better wood burning performance.
Notes on Hot Knife Cutting Tips
1.
Ensure Stencil tip or Hot Knife tip is heated up to its working temperature before starting
work.
2.
Stencil cutting tips are very pointy and can easily be bent or damaged if excessive
pressure is exerted especially when the tip is in hot condition.
3.
Always let the heated tip do the work. Do not press or apply pressure to the tip.
4.
Only change tip when the tip is cooled.
5.
Same precautions should be taken when changing cutting tips. Refer to Section “Notes
on Wood burning Tips” above for more details.
