Using Different Nose Cones for Different Purposes

The machine comes with three types of nose cones, one large, one medium, and one small. For engraving general items
such as nameplates, you use the medium-size one already installed in the machine. Use the large- and small-size ones in
cases like following.
Large-size
You use this one when characters are large and the fill width is broad. In the engraving mode, fill operations whose width is
broader than the diameter of the nose cone cannot be performed. Make sure that the nose cone does not become snagged
on differences in levels.
Small-size
In the engraving mode, you can engrave even cylindrical and curved objects. Using the small-size nose cone in such cases
can produce attractive finished results. Note, however, that the greater is the amount of curvature (that is, the more acute is
the angle of the surface), the shallow is the engraving. Also, the flat cutter cannot be used with the small-size nose cone.

Changing the Nose Cone
To change the nose cone, first detach the depth regulator unit.
