6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Powering On/Off

1. Plug the engraver into a standard 120V electrical outlet.
2. Locate the ON/OFF switch on the top of the engraver.
3. To turn on, slide the switch to the 'ON' position. The engraver will begin to vibrate.
4. To turn off, slide the switch to the 'OFF' position.

6.2 Adjusting Engraving Depth

The UTOOL Engraver Pen features a 5-position depth adjustment dial. This allows you to control the depth and intensity of your engraving based on the material and desired effect.

1. Rotate the dial located on the side of the engraver to select a depth setting from 1 (shallow/soft) to 5 (deep/hard).
2. Start with a lower setting (1 or 2) for softer materials like wood or leather, or for fine, shallow lines.
3. Increase the setting (3 to 5) for harder materials like metal or glass, or for deeper, more pronounced engravings.
4. It is recommended to test the depth setting on a scrap piece of the same material before beginning your main project.

6.3 Engraving Techniques

Hold the engraver like a pen, maintaining a comfortable grip. Apply light, consistent pressure. Let the tool do the work; excessive force is not necessary and can damage the bit or the material.

Using Stencils:

Place the letter/number stencil firmly on your workpiece. Trace the desired letters or numbers with the engraver pen, ensuring the bit stays within the stencil's cutouts. Remove the stencil carefully once finished.

Freehand Engraving:

For freehand designs, you may wish to sketch your design lightly with a pencil first. Then, carefully trace over your sketch with the engraver. Practice on scrap materials to develop your technique.
