Attention! Execute a tool change only in defined positions! 

 
The tools must always be inserted in the tool fixture as far as they will go.  
Otherwise the working depth will be incorrect. In certain circumstances, this can 
even result in damage to the machine base plate. 

 

Tweezers are supplied for tool insertion and removal.

 

 

6.2  Pen holder (optional) 

With the pen holder, the circuit board plotter can be used as a pen plotter.
