5. Operating Instructions

Operating your Afantti pyrography machine is straightforward:

1. Power On: Flip the main power switch on the front of the station to the 'ON' position. The digital display will illuminate.
2. Adjust Temperature: Use the rotary knob to set the desired temperature. The digital display shows the current working temperature, which can be adjusted from 200°C to 800°C (392°F to 1472°F). Start with lower temperatures and gradually increase as needed for your material and desired effect.
3. Dual Pen Operation: The machine supports two pens simultaneously. If one pen becomes too hot during extended use, you can switch to the other pen without waiting for it to cool down, ensuring uninterrupted crafting.
4. Pyrography Techniques: Experiment with the 30 different nibs to achieve various effects. Use fine-point nibs for detailed lines, broader nibs for shading, and specialized nibs for textures. Practice on the included wood pieces to master different strokes and pressure levels.
5. Power Off: When finished, turn the power switch to 'OFF' and unplug the machine. Allow the nibs to cool completely before handling.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your pyrography machine:

• Cleaning Nibs: Regularly clean the nibs by gently wiping them on the wet sponge provided. For stubborn residue, allow the nib to cool and carefully scrape off any carbon buildup.
• Storage: After use and once all components have cooled, store the machine and accessories in the provided carry bag. The bag features a special layer for accessories to keep everything organized and protected.
• General Care: Keep the machine and pens free from dust and debris. Avoid dropping the pens or station.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues, refer to the following troubleshooting tips:

• Pen Not Heating: Ensure the pen connector is fully inserted and tightened. Check if the power switch is on and the temperature is set above the minimum. Verify the nib is correctly installed and secured.
• Uneven Burning: This can be due to inconsistent pressure, incorrect temperature setting for the material, or a dirty nib. Adjust pressure, temperature, or clean the nib.
• Machine Not Powering On: Check the power cord connection to both the machine and the electrical outlet. Ensure the power switch is in the 'ON' position.
• Nibs Becoming Too Hot: Utilize the dual-pen feature to switch between pens, allowing one to cool while you continue working with the other.
