2. General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions.

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in

electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and

instructions for future reference.

The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated

(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1) Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite

accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the

presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any

way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.

Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes,

radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric

shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a

power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or

unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges

or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric

shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable

for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of

electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a

residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the

risk of electric shock.

3) Personal safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when

operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired

or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of

inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal

injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.

Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,

or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal

injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position

before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or

carrying the tool.

Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power

tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.

A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may

result in personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This

enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,

clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or

long hair can be caught in moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and

collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of

dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

4) Power tool use and care

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your

application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the

rate for which it was designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any

power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and

must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from

the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or

storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of

starting the power tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow

persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the

power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving

parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power

tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.

Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools

with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with

these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work

to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those

intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5) Service

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only

identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power

tool is maintained.

7.1 General Instructions & Safety Precautions

It is recommended that eye protection and a face mask

should be worn when operating the engraver.

Changing the Engraver Point

Select the appropriate working point and insert in the chuck. Do not over

tighten. This specially designed universal chuck will accommodate both

engraving points and carving chisels. When you wish to change points or

chisels, unscrew the knurled sleeve and press the tool back into the chuck

to release the tension in the brass collet. The point or chisel can then pulled

out without difﬁculty (Fig 7.1). To ﬁt a replacement engraving point, simply

insert the point in to the brass collet and tighten the knurled sleeve. Take

care not to over tighten the knurled sleeve as this may cause damage to

the brass collet or the locating thread. Check that the point is fully secured

by pulling it away from the chuck. If any movement is detected, tighten the

knurled sleeve slightly.

Setting & Testing

Adjust the stroke control to obtain the required length of stroke at the point.

Turn the knob clockwise for a heavy-duty longer stroke and anti-clockwise

for a ﬁner stroke. A ﬁne stroke is recommended for all work on glass. A

heavier, longer stroke is recommended for engraving on hard surfaces and

carving work (Fig 7.2).

Switch on the engraver and hold it in the same way as pencil or ball point

pen. For optimum control and results, let it rest between your thumb and

index ﬁnger (Fig 7.3).

The engraver operates at 6,000 strokes per minute to engrave a series of

dots. Move the point about freely to obtain a dotted shading effect and

move it slowly and precisely to obtain a strong line.

Before tackling a major project, it is advisable to practice on waste material

in order to familiarize yourself with the different stroke settings required for

engraving different materials.

General Operating Instructions

For identiﬁcation marking on ﬂat surfaces, use a transparent template

and draw by simply following the letters and number. For curved surfaces

transfer the inscription on paper using a pencil or ink, place the paper strip

on the object and engrave though the paper into the work. When using

transparent materials, you can transfer the design onto the reverse of the

work and view it from the front.

Your Record Power engraver has been carefully designed to enable

beginners to obtain good results. As you become more experienced in the

use of the engraver you will be able to carry out more difﬁcult work.

We have a large selection of additional engraving tips available.

Clamping of Work Piece

Where possible the work piece should fully supported whilst being engraved.

Large items should be placed on a bench or solid surface and clamped to the

work surface by means of a G-clamp or similar.

Smaller work pieces may be held in a bench vice using soft jaws to prevent

damage to the ﬁnished piece.

Very small items (such as pet identity discs etc.) can be held securely by

being pressed in to modelling clay on a hard surface with the surface to be

engraved facing upwards.

Certain work pieces made of glass or ceramic material cannot be clamped or

held in a vice. In this instance, the work piece should be placed on a non-slip

rubber mat and supported on a bench or solid surface.

Limitations on Size of the Work Piece

There is no limit to the maximum size of work piece that can be engraved.

Never attempt to engrave a work piece that can only be held by hand or that

is too small to be held securely.

7.2 Glass Engraving

When engraving glass, examine the material carefully for internal faults

which might cause breakage. In order to absorb shocks when you work

on fragile materials e.g. wine glasses, you should ﬁll the glass with cloth.

Lightness of touch is essential to reduce the chance of fracturing it and,

accordingly, it is best to use the shortest possible stroke that produces the

desired effect.

Sit comfortably at a table or desk and allow yourself ample room in which

to work (normal writing area sufﬁcient) and exert about the same amount

of pressure on the tip as you would if you were writing on cardboard with a

hard pencil.

Place the glass sheet or article to be engraved, on a soft shock absorbing

surface such as a felt or rubber pad or with the pattern underneath the glass.

In applying designs to such fragile articles as wine glasses, pack the inside

with cloth or newspaper.

Trace the outline with the A2 Point provided.

Designs may be transferred to non-transparent glassware, such as mirrors or

applied freehand by means of coloured felt tipped pen, or chinagraph pencil,

which will visibly mark on glass and also ceramics.

The shape of abrasive point can be preserved by occasionally turning it

slightly in the chuck. Some users however will prefer to allow the point

to become somewhat ﬂattened, thus affording a large abrasive area for

frosting work.

7. Instructions for Use

Fig 7.3

Fig 7.2

Fig 7.1

To prevent overheating during prolonged use, the engraver

should not be used continuously for more than 15 minutes.

Allow it to cool for a short period before restarting work.

Engraver Manual 3.4.indd 7 02/06/2014 10:25

7.3 Metal Engraving

This type of work represents one of the most interesting and widely

used applications for the engraver in the hands of both the amateur and

professional alike.

The softer metals such as copper, brass, aluminium, etc. can be engraved or

otherwise marked quite satisfactorily with the A5 point but for the harder

types of metal, such as stainless steel, nickel, etc. the A2 point will be found

more suitable. For prolonged work on hard materials the A4 carbide tipped

point should be used.

It is generally best to lay out your design ﬁrst in order to centre it properly

and keep your letters or design in balance. Then, after transferring the design

to the metal by the appropriate method trace over your outline.

If you are artistically inclined you could write or draw directly onto the

metal. Whichever method you adopt, a hand keep in mind that in this type of

work the slower the point moves over the metal the more even your line

will be.

Writing should always be done with a hand, rather than with an arm

movement. It is possible to vary your engraving from ﬁne line marking to

deep etching by gradually lengthening the stroke and by changing your

writing angle.

All metal engraving should be done on a heavy metal base to prevent

vibration of the material being worked. For the engraving of a curved

surface, such as bracelet or a ring, the object should preferably be held in a

vice, the jaws of which should be padded to prevent the ﬁnish of the article

becoming damaged.

7.4 Wood Engraving

A good grade of hardwood such as birch, boxwood or maple should

preferably be used for this type of work. Sand the surface until smooth and

then transfer your design onto it. Go over your design with the A5 point,

with the engraver set to give a medium length of stroke. If you desire to

engrave a deeper or wider line, increase the length of the stroke. Sand again,

and your work is ready for varnishing or other type of ﬁnish. This procedure

is similar to wood block engraving for letterpress printing.

7.5 Plastic Engraving

This type of work lends itself to many variations. Jewellery, handbag clasps,

identiﬁcation tags, trays and many other plastic items may be initialled

or engraved with intricate and original designs. Use any of the previously

described design-transfer methods and trace over the outline with the A5

point.

7.6 Metal Embossing

Use thin sheets (not heavier than 28 gauge) of malleable metals such as

copper, brass, aluminium etc.

Lay sheets selected for your work on a soft or semi-soft surface e.g. cork,

felt, soft wood or even layers of newspaper, to enable it to stretch as it is

worked. Using the smallest ball point (A6) transfer your design on to the

sheet until it is clearly visible on the underside. Turn the sheet over and using

the larger ball point (A7) hammer out those parts of the design that are to

appear raised in the ﬁnished article.

To add details to your embossed design, pad underneath with a tightly

wadded cloth to prevent it distorting when being worked. The details can

generally best be put in with the small ball point, working lightly and with a

short stroke (obtained by screwing down the stroke adjuster).

By embossing the metal as described above, using a resilient base, the

ball points will peen down the metal in U-shaped indentations of a size

dependent on the point used. If a ﬂat smooth background is desired, the

metal should be worked on a hard surface such as a metal plate, hard wood

or stone.

7.7 Relief Wood Carving

Commence by tracing your design into the wood with the A5 Point. Then

insert the A21 V-shaped chisel and cut away the wood immediately outside

the pattern. Having done this, it is now possible to gouge out the remainder

of the background without fear of over-running the design itself. Use the

chisels that will leave the kind of ﬁnished surface you require.

It is best to take short, shallow cuts not more than 3mm (1/8”) deep,

ﬁnishing each cut with an up-swing of the chisel to leave a clean surface

for the next cut. It will be found possible to cut across the grain almost as

effectively as with the grain.

With your background reduced to the required depth, your work can be

ﬁnished off by the addition of a few details to the raised parts of the design

as required.

Should you wish to do a complicated relief carving where parts of the design

are at various levels, the best way to proceed is as follows:

First trace the highest spots on the surface of the wood then cut a smooth

background down to where the next lower part of the design will emerge.

On this new background repeat the previous procedure and continue in this

way until the ﬁnal background level is reached, leaving all the surface details

to be worked in later.

By following this routine, whether in two-level work or more, you will ﬁnd it

not at all difﬁcult to carve the most artistic relief ornamentation.

7.8 Three-Dimensional Wood Carving

The Engraver is just as easily adaptable to such other three-dimensional

carving as sculpturing wood models, full ﬁgure work, etc. Always rough out

the general shape and outline before adding detail.

Please note that, for safety reasons the woodcarving chisels in the kit

are supplied with the cutting edge ground to the correct angle but not

sharpened. To create a razor sharp working edge, therefore, the carving

chisels should be honed on an oilstone.

7.9 Linoleum Carving

The technique to be followed is very similar to that of carving simple relief

designs on wood, and the same attachments should be used. First attach

your linoleum to a thick wooden block to provide a solid foundation then

after transferring your design, remove the adjacent linoleum with the A21

V-Chisel to safeguard your pattern outline. Next remove with the ﬂat and

round chisels all parts of the design and the background which are not to be

printed. The procedure is similar to ﬂat carving in wood except that it is only

necessary to recess the non-printing surfaces of your blocks to a depth of

3mm (1/8”).

7.10 Other Uses

The engraver, when ﬁtted with the widest chisel, is an excellent tool for

removing hardened putty from window frames, without fear of cracking the

glass or straining the hinges.

Warning: Before carrying out any maintenance always ensure

that the engraver is disconnected from the power supply.

Cleaning

The body of the engraver should be kept clean and free of oil or grease.

Clean regularly with a soft damp cloth and mild detergent. Take care not to

wet the engraver and ensure that is fully dry by wiping with a dry cloth. Do

not use any solvent based cleaners such as thinners or white spirit as they

may damage the surface of the engraver body.

The universal chuck should be kept clean and free from dust or waste

material. The chuck can be removed from the engraver by unscrewing it from

the locating thread. The chuck can then be dismantled by unscrewing the

knurled ring from the rear backing plate to separate the collet from the other

two components. Any waste deposits should be removed from each of the

components using a small, clean paintbrush. Apply a light coat of oil to the

thread before re-assembling the chuck on to the engraver.

Sharpening the Engraving Point

(Please refer to sections 4 and 9 of this instruction manual in order to

correctly identify the engraving points details below)

Some of the points used with the engraver can be sharpened in order to

maintain their performance as detailed below:

Warning: if attempting to sharpen any of the points on a bench

grinder, always take extreme care and do not attempt to grind

the points unless they can be securely held in a suitable jig or

ﬁtment. The points are too small to be held by hand when using

a grinder.

A2 extra ﬁne solid carbide tipped point: Can be sharpened on a bench

grinder provided that a suitable green grit stone is used. Alternatively an oil

stone can be used to maintain the point. The length of the carbide tip used in

this point will allow it to be sharpened several times.

A4 carbide tipped point: Can be sharpened on a grinder provided that a

suitable green grit stone is used. Alternatively an oil stone can be used to

maintain the point. This point has a very small carbide tip and so will have a

limited working life and may on be re-sharpened 2 or 3 times before it will

need to be replaced.

A5 steel point: Can be sharpened using a bench grinder. Alternatively an oil

stone can be used to maintain the point.

A6 & A7 ball point: Does not need to be sharpened or maintained.

A8 abrasive point: Does not need to be sharpened – replace when the

abrasive material becomes excessively worn.

A18 to A22 carving chisels: Can be sharpened using an oil stone to maintain

the cutting edge.

Servicing
