Insert the cutter into the hole in the cutter holder, and
use the hexagonal screwdriver that comes with the
machine to tighten the cutter mounting screw.

Use the height setting made in step 4 to set Z0. Z0 is
the reference point for raising and lowering the
spindle.
Refer to “Setting the Z0 Position.”

Rotate the dial in the direction of the arrow shown in
the figure to extend the cutter to the engraving depth
(cutting-in amount).
Move the cutter out just enough for the necessary
engraving depth.
The lines printed on the dial indicate 0.0254 mm
(0.001 in.) for each mark. For instance, to set a
cutting depth of 0.5 mm (0.0197 in.), rotate an 20
mark portion.

Raise the spindle with the [+Z] key.

When setting the engraving depth with software, set a depth
about 2 mm deeper than the depth that would be set on the
micrometer dial. (In other words, 2 mm deeper than the actual
engraving depth.)
Engraving can be done at a standard depth by increasing the
force on the workpiece from the top.
When using the depth regulator nose to perform engraving, the
Z1 point (the tool-down position) is set to a height lower than
the actual engraving depth.
As a result of this, Z1 may be set to a position lower than the
surface of the table.

At this time, the error "Bad Parameter" appears during
engraving, and operation stops. To clear the error, switch off the
power.
To avoid errors, place a flat board under the workpiece to serve
as a lifting base.
Use a board of the following thickness.
Thickness of board placed under workpiece
> [Z1] - [Workpiece thickness]
A thickness of about 5 mm (0.2 in.) is appropriate. If the board
is too thick, the Z-axis operating range (30 mm (1.18 in.)) may
be exceeded, making engraving impossible.
