1. Power On: Flip the main power switch to the 'ON' position. The power indicator will light up.
2. Select Tool: Choose which pen you wish to use by flipping the corresponding 'Tool A' or 'Tool B' switch to 'ON'.
3. Set Temperature: Rotate the Temperature Adjustment Knob to your desired temperature. The range is 250°C to 750°C. Lower temperatures are suitable for delicate work or softer woods, while higher temperatures are for deeper burns or harder materials. The unit heats up rapidly, typically reaching operating temperature within 10-15 seconds.
4. Test: Before working on your main project, test the temperature and tip on a scrap piece of material to ensure the desired effect.
5. Pyrography: Hold the pen like a pencil and apply gentle, consistent pressure to the material. Move the pen smoothly to create lines and shading.
6. Resting: When not actively burning, place the hot pen securely in the stainless steel holder to prevent accidental burns or damage to your workspace.
7. Changing Tips: To change a tip, first turn off the pen's switch and allow the tip to cool completely. Use the screwdriver to loosen the screws, remove the old tip, insert the new one, and tighten the screws.
8. Power Off: When finished, turn off the 'Tool A' and 'Tool B' switches, then turn off the main power switch. Unplug the unit from the power outlet and allow all components to cool before storing.

7. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your pyrography kit.

• Tip Cleaning: Use the damp sponge in the soldering iron base to wipe off carbon buildup from the tips periodically during use. This helps maintain efficient heat transfer and clean lines.
• Unit Cleaning: Ensure the unit is unplugged and cool. Wipe the main station and pen handles with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Tip Storage: Store burning tips in a safe container when not in use to prevent damage or loss.
• Cord Inspection: Regularly inspect the power cord and pen cables for any signs of damage. If damaged, discontinue use and contact customer support.
