If you find anything wrong, do not operate the tool until the parts have been replaced or the fault has been rectified. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury. Installing an engraver tip WARNING. Disconnect the engraver from the power supply before making any adjustments or maintenance procedures. 1. Loosen the tip release screw (4) by turning it anti- clockwise with a flat head screwdriver. 2. To fit the new engraving tip (2), insert the tip through the centre of the hole of the engraver, ensuring the tip fully enters the housing. A new tip should protrude from the end of the housing by approximately 8.5mm. 3. Tighten the tip release screw (4) fully by rotating in a clockwise direction. Operation WARNING. Always wear safety glasses when using this tool. The GMC engraver can be used to permanently mark metal, glass, plastic, wood, ceramics and much more. 1. Before using the engraver you must ensure there is an engraving tip installed. 2. Connect the engraver plug to the power supply and while holding the engraver firmly, push up on the on/off switch (1) with your thumb. NOTE. To turn the tool on, press the small On/Off Switch (1) upwards to the (I) position. To turn the tool off, push the on/off Switch (1) down to the (O) position. 3. Hold the engraver at an angle, like you would hold a pen. Do not press down hard while engraving, use light pressure while guiding the point over the work to be completed. Adjusting the depth of engraving 1. The stroke adjustment dial (3) located on the side of the engraver controls the stroke length and therefore the depth of engraving. 2. For a fine mark turn the stroke adjustment dial (3) anti-clockwise to position ‘1’. 3. For a deeper, thicker mark turn the stroke adjustment dial (3) clockwise to position ‘5’ NOTE. It is recommended that you practice on scrap material before you start. Maintenance WARNING. Always ensure that the tool is switched off and the plug is removed from the power point before making any adjustments or maintenance procedures. 1. Use a soft brush to remove any accumulated dust. Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes whilst cleaning. 2. If the body of the tool needs cleaning, wipe it with a soft damp cloth. A mild detergent can be used but never alcohol, petrol or other harsh cleaning agents. 3. Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts. CAUTION. Water must never come into contact with the tool.
