5. Maintenance

1. Cleaning Tips: Regularly wipe the pen tips on the moistened sponge to remove carbon buildup. This maintains optimal performance and prevents uneven burning.
2. Replacing Wire-Nib Tips: To change tips on the wire-nib pen, use the provided screwdriver to loosen the two screws that secure the tip. Carefully remove the old tip, insert the new one, and tighten the screws. Always use the stainless steel tweezers for handling hot tips.
3. Replacing Solid-Point Tips: For the solid-point pen, allow the pen to cool completely. Then, carefully screw off the old tip and screw on the new one.

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and consistent performance of your wood burning kit.

6. Troubleshooting

• Pen Tip Not Heating: Ensure the pen is securely connected to the unit. Verify that the correct pen button (I or II) is activated and the temperature setting is above 0. Check if the tip is properly installed and not loose.
• Tip Stuck in Pen: If a tip becomes stuck, allow the pen to cool completely before attempting removal. Use the provided screwdriver and/or tweezers to carefully dislodge it. Do not force it when hot, as this can cause damage.
• Inconsistent Burning: Ensure the sponge is adequately moistened for cleaning. Carbon buildup on the tip can lead to inconsistent heat transfer. Adjust temperature settings as needed for different wood types and desired effects.
