SERVICE
Tool servicing must be performed by qualified personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by non-qualified personnel could result in a risk
of injury.
When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow the
instructions in the Maintenance section of this Manual. The use of
unauthorized parts or failure to follow the instructions in the Maintenance
section of this Manual may create a risk of electric shock or injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
The rating plate on the tool shows certain safety symbols. These symbols
represent important safety information regarding the use of the tool and
must be followed:
Hearing, eye and breathing protection must be
worn
Double insulated for extra protection
WARNING
:
For your safety, do not plug the engraving tool into
the power source or attempt to operate the tool until you have read and
understood these Operating Instructions.
WARNING
:
Always use safety glasses, ear protection and a dust
mask when operating the engraving tool. Using these safety items will
protect you against flying particles during the engraving process.
WARNING
:
Apply only light pressure to the engraving tool during
operation. Too much pressure may damage the surface being engraved
and damage the tip of the engraving tool.
REPLACING THE ENGRAVING TIP
The engraving tool is shipped with the engraving tip and protective tip
cover installed. The protective tip cover must be placed on the engraving
tip when the tool is not in use to protect the tip from damage and the
handler from injury. To replace the engraving tip:
1.
Insert a small slot screwdriver (1) into the engraving tip set screw (2)
(Fig. 1).
2.
Turn the set screw counter clockwise to release the engraving tip
(3). When the engraving tip is released, pull it out of the tool.
3.
Insert the new engraving tip into the tool as far as it will go and
tighten the set screw.
SETTING THE DEPTH CONTROL
The engraving depth can be adjusted to suit the type of surface being
engraved.
To engrave a shallow marking, set the depth control knob (1) to "1"
(Fig. 2). To engrave a deep marking, set the depth control knob to "5".
NOTE:
Softer materials will require settings of "1 to 3". Hard materials
will require settings of "3 to 5". Always test the depth control setting on a
scrap workpiece of the same material as the good workpiece to be sure
the depth control is set correctly and will engrave the workpiece correctly.

mask when operating the engraving tool. Using these safety items will

pressure while guiding the engraving point on the workpiece. Always use
consistent pressure on the engraving tip and move the tool on the
workpiece at a consistent speed to produce consistent engraving results.
