General safety warnings

WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Work area safety

1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
   Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

2. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
   Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

4. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.
   A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

7. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

8. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

Power tool use and care

1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

3. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
   Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

5. Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

8. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

Service

1. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Recommendation

1. It is recommended this 13W Engraver be used with a residual current device with rated residual current of 30mA or less. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Parts List

1. Engraving tip
2. Tip release cap
3. On/off switch
4. Stroke adjustment dial
5. Carrying loop
6. Power cord
7. Stencil x 4

Operation

WARNING!

• Always wear safety glasses when using this tool.
• After 30 minutes continuous working, the tool needs to be stopped to cool down to room temperature before use again.
• Make sure the tip release cap is correctly tightened before operation.

On/off switch

To start the engraver, connect the power plug to the mains socket firstly.
Remove the protection cap (a) from the engraver tip (1). (Fig. A1)
To turn the engraver on, just press the on/off switch (3). To turn the engraver off, release the on/ off switch (3). (Fig. A2)

Setting the stroke depth

The stroke adjustment dial (4) located on the top of the engraver, controls the stroke length and therefore the depth of engraving. A low setting is usually sufficient for the most common applications.

1. For a fine mark, turn the stroke adjustment dial (4) clockwise.
2. For a deeper, thicker mark, turn the stroke adjustment dial (4) anti-clockwise. (Fig. B)
   

NOTE: It is recommended that you practice on scrap material before you start.

Using the engraver

1. Before using the engraver you must ensure there is an engraving tip (1) installed correctly.
   (see Replacing the Engraver Tip on page 10)

2. Connect the engraver power cord (6) to the power supply and hold the engraver firmly.

3. To turn the engraver on, press the on/off switch (3).

4. Hold the machine in a vertical position (almost 90°to the workpiece).
   Try to execute individual lines in one uniform movement without stopping if possible as later on it will be possible to make out paused and uneven movements on the engraved workpiece. Sketch out the outlines on the workpiece prior to engraving if necessary (e.g. with the aid of the stencils provided. It may also assist to clamp down the stencil onto the work piece to sketch the outlines) in order to make it possible to engrave more even lines.
   NOTE: Do not press down hard while engraving, use light pressure while guiding the point over the work to be completed.
   WARNING! The supplied engraving tip (1) is made of tungsten steel. It is therefore not suitable for engraving electronic media such as CDs, DVDs, etc. These materials and their readability could be damaged.

Maintenance

Replacing the engraver tip

Change the engraving tip as soon as it becomes worn and no longer delivers the desired engraving results.

WARNING! Disconnect the engraver from the power supply before making any adjustments or undertaking maintenance procedures.

1. Remove the protection cap (a) from the engraver tip (1). (Fig. A1)
2. Loosen the tip release cap (2) by turning it anti-clockwise and then remove it from the engraver. (Fig. C1)
3. Remove the spring and washer from the engraver tip and then remove the engraver tip (1). (Fig. C2, C3)
4. To fit the new engraving tip (not supplied), slide the washer and spring onto a new engraving tip firstly. Then insert the new tip through the centre of the hole of the engraver, ensuring the tip fully enters the housing.
5. Tighten the tip release cap (2) fully by rotating it in a clockwise direction.
   

WARNING! Always ensure that the Engraver is switched off and the plug is removed from the power point before making any adjustments or undertaking 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 engraver 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. Keep the motor ventilation slots clean.
   Caution: Water must never come into contact with the engraver.

General inspection
Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight. They may vibrate loose over time.

WARNING! Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
There are no user serviceable parts in your Engraving Tool. Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean your Engraving Tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always store your Engraving tool in a dry place. Keep the motor ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls free of dust. Occasionally you may see sparks through the ventilation slots.
This is normal and will not damage your Engraving Tool.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

Storage
Store in a secure, dry place out of the reach of children. Do not place other objects on the product.

Residual risk
Even if you use the 13W Engraving Tool properly per the instructions provided and following all safety notes, there are always residual risks. The following risk may occur:

• Accidental Starting: Always remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance. When not in use, store the device in a safe, dry, clean environment.
  Reduce residual risks by using the 13W Engraving Tool with care and following all safety notes as well as other instructions.
