2. Place the Machine: Position the wood burning machine on a stable, heat-resistant surface. Ensure adequate ventilation.
3. Assemble Pen Holder: Assemble the pen holder as shown in the diagram. The pen holder provides a safe place to rest hot pens.
4. Connect Pens: The machine features dual output ports (A and B) for independent pen control. Connect your desired wood burning pens to the corresponding ports.

5. Insert Pen Tips: Select the appropriate pen tip for your project and carefully insert it into the pen. Use the provided screwdriver for wire nibs if necessary. Ensure tips are securely fastened.
6. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a standard 110V AC outlet.

4. Operating Instructions

1. Power On: Turn on the main power switch. The digital display will show the current temperature.
2. Temperature Adjustment: Use the independent temperature adjustment knobs for parts A and B to set the desired temperature. The temperature range is 200-750°C.
   • Lower temperatures (200-400°C) are suitable for lighter shades and fine lines.
   • Higher temperatures (400-750°C) are for darker shades and broader strokes.
3. Using Multiple Pens: The machine supports simultaneous use of two pens. You can switch between pens or turn off unused pens using the independent toggle switches for parts A and B.
4. Practice: Before working on your final project, practice on the provided small wooden board or scrap material to familiarize yourself with different tips and temperature settings.
5. Pyrography Techniques:
   • Adjust temperature and pressure for varying effects. Slower movement and higher pressure create darker burns.
   • Use the carving pen to scrape away burnt areas for highlights or to correct mistakes.
   • The 30 wire nibs heat up quickly for fast strokes, while solid copper tips offer more control for detailed shading.

5. Maintenance

• Cleaning Pen Tips: Regularly clean pen tips using the provided sponge. Ensure the sponge is soaked in water before use to prevent damage and effectively remove carbon buildup.
• Storage: Store the wood burner kit and accessories in a dry, safe place when not in use.
• Tip Replacement: When replacing pen tips, use the tweezers to carefully remove and insert new tips. Ensure the machine is off and cooled down before changing tips.

6. Troubleshooting

• Pen not heating: Check if the pen is securely plugged into the correct port (A or B) and if the corresponding switch is turned on. Verify the temperature setting.
• Uneven burning: Ensure the pen tip is clean. Adjust temperature and pressure evenly across the material. Practice on scrap material to refine technique.
• Machine not powering on: Check the power cord connection and ensure the outlet is functional.
