6) How to Use the Clamp
◈ Multi performance Clamp
The holding part of clamp is step type, so set the clamp to the step to match the size and thickness are matched.
If you turn the clamp handle to the left, then the clamp will be loosed and turn it to the right, then the clamp will be
tightened.
When holding the materials by turning the clamp tightening handle, a mark may be left on the
materials.
The height of the clamp can be adjusted depending on the thickness of the materials or the type of clamps.
Turn the clamp knob upward to Remove the spacer block. Insert the clamp.
pull out the spacer block.
Pin holes on the clamp ensures easier holding of irregular shaped material.
Gradation on the clamp also helps easier positioning of material on the clamp.
18
◈ How to attach the auxiliary jig
The auxiliary jig helps to hold thick materials like a beer bottle. As a pair, the Auxiliary jigs are holed by bolts
on each hole.
◈ Rotation Clamp(Chuck)
19
-Holding method for ring inner diameter engraving
Open the chuck finger of the rotation clamp and insert the ring, and use the chuck handle to hold it not to allow it
to come out or slip.
Ex) Flat chuck finger
There are three types of chuck fingers. According to the shape of ring, use chuck finger appropriately to
hold the ring and not allow it to become loose or fall.
Flat chuck finger Round chuck finger (wide width) Round chuck finger (narrow width)
20
If the thickness of ring is not even, mix different sized chuck fingers to hold it.
21
- Materials holding methods for engraving bracelets
Place three bangle adapters in the rotation clamp, and tighten the chuck finger in front of the bangle adapters.
Open the rotation clamp to match it to the bracelet size, and insert the bracelet until it clicks into the chuck finger.
Use the chuck handle not to make bracelet come out or spin.
◈ Pen Clamp
1. Turn the clamp knob on the left side of the clamp and pull the clamp and spacer block to take it out.
2. Place the pen in the flat chuck finger of the rotation clamp, and insert the pen clamp into the pen clamp adapter.
Push the clamp until it touches the pen fixed in the chuck finger. Tighten the bolt on the pen clamp adapter not the
pen clamp to be pushed, and tighten the bolt of the pen clamp to securely hold the pen.
22
◈ Cutting Clamp
Release four tightening bolts on the cutting clamp, and insert the Bakelite plate. Put materials on the Bakelite plate
and tighten with bolts. Open the clamp wide at the maximum, and put the clamp dedicated to cutting on it, and
tighten it.
[Cutting exclusive clamp]
1. Turn the clamp knob on the left side of the clamp. Turn the clamp tightening handle for widen the gap of clamp.
2. Insert the cutting clamp, and tighten the clamp by turn the clamp tightening handle.
23
◈ Flat Clamp (Separately purchased)
※ Is secured on the base table by using 4 bolts at each corner of the clamp.
1. Turn the clamp knob on the left side of the clamp and pull the clamp and spacer block to take it out.
2. Insert the flat clamp, and tighten the clamp by turn the clamp knob.
24
7) Changing Tools
◈Spindle
2. Press button, and when menu appears on the LCD window, then press
and hold button until it beeps (more than 3 seconds) to run the menu.
3. Just like the below figure, insert it to 1mm wrench on tool fixing bolt. Turn wrench to the left and loosen bolt.
Grab tool by hands in advance in order that tool is not fallen on the bottom and pull out tool downward by pushing
tool from the top. After changing tool, tighten it by using wrench bolt and fix it
When loosing tool fixing bolts, hold the tool with your hands and loose the bolts to avoid
dropping the tool on the floor and causing damage to it.
4. Press the button until it beeps (more than 3 seconds) to measure tool’s lengh automatically.
◈ L-Tool
Just like the below figure, insert it to 1mm wrench on tool fixing bolt. Turn wrench to the left and loosen bolt.
Grab tool by hands in advance in order that tool is not fallen on the bottom and pull out tool downward by
pushing tool from the top. After changing tool, tighten it by using wrench bolt and fix it.

8) Replacing the Spindle Belt
The spindle belt transfers the rotation power of the spindle motor to the spindle to turn the
engraving blade. If the spindle belt is worn, the surface is cracked and slippery. So it cannot
deliver the power of the spindle motor properly. In this case, the number of rotation decreases,
or it causes poor engraving quality.
Replacement Cycle:
The lifespan of the spindle belt varies depending on usage and conditions. Generally, it should be changed every
2-3 months.
Spindle Belt Replacement Method
There is a red rubber belt on the front head of the engraver. Replace this belt with new belt.
Spindle belt
9) Tension
◈ Setting Engraver Pressure Lock
When cutting materials or engraving materials with a V cutter, set the head and remove the pressure lock. Then,
vibration during engraving will be reduced and it will improve the quality of engraving or cutting and extends the
life cycle of the tool. Release the bolts as shown in the picture below and insert the hole in the back and turn it to
tighten.
After that, when engraving with the Carbide tip tool, it needs more pressure. So this bolt should
be released and moved to the left hole.
27
◈ Pressure Adjuster
When engraving with a Carbide tip, the engraving depth is adjusted with pressure. This is the using same as the
engraving depth selection when creating the tool path. If you turn the tension adjustment knob to the right, the
pressure increases stronger, and turning it to the left, decreases the pressure.

Engraving by Using Nose
Nose is a sub-component to support engraving along with the curved surface of material. Therefore, it is possible
to engrave on the curved surface of material with consistent depth by using the nose.
Be sure to release the engraver pressure lock. If you engrave with fixing head, the nose, tool and
materials may be damaged.
1. Replace the tool with V cut tool and conduct automatic measurement of tool length.
2. Turn the depth nose lock to left and loosen the bolt. Turn the nose height adjustment screw the left and lower it
down about 1~2mm.
84
It might be difficult to adjust the tool length if the nose height adjustment screw set to the top, so separate
it about 1~2mm from the head.
Head
1~2mm
3. Assemble the nose height adjustment screw with the nose and turn the assembly to the right to make the nose’s
tool hole locate before the tool tighten bolt.
4. Put a flat plate (Ex: ruler) under the nose as shown in the picture below and release the tool fixing screw with
2mm wrench. Lower the tool until it touches the plate, and tightens the tool in place.
5. If the nose height adjustment bolt is rotated to the right, the nose will face to the top and the tool will be able
to be seen. At this time, the engraving depth is same as the height of the exposed tool. Adjust the length of
the tool to desired depth. (One revolution of the screw moves the tool 1mm up or down)
* If the engraving depth is 1mm on the tool path, and the tool length is by 0.3mm, then the actual engraving
depth will be 0.3mm.
85
6. Rotate and tighten the depth nose lock to the right not to make the nose height adjustment screw loosened.
If the depth nose lock is not fixed, the nose height adjustment screw might be loosened to change the
engraving depth or cause damage to the material, tool or nose.
