5. Install a Wire Nib: Select the desired wire nib. Using the pliers or your fingers (ensure the unit is off and cool), carefully insert the ends of the wire nib into the two small holes on the pyrography pen's tip assembly. Tighten the screws on the pen tip with the mini screwdriver to secure the nib. Ensure the nib is inserted 100% and correctly tightened for consistent performance.

Correct installation ensures the tip is fully inserted and screws are tightened, leading to consistent heat and color. Incorrect installation (partially inserted or over-tightened) can result in no heat or inconsistent heating.

6. Connect Power: Plug the power cord into a standard 110-127V 60Hz electrical outlet.

5. Operating Instructions

Operating the YIHUA 939-II Pyrography Station is straightforward. Always perform a test burn on scrap material before working on your final project.

1. Power On: Flip the 'ON/OFF' switch on the front panel to the 'ON' position. The power indicator light will illuminate.
2. Set Temperature: Rotate the temperature control knob to select your desired temperature. The range is 250~750℃ (482~1382℉). The station heats up quickly.
