HOW TO USE AN INSIDE RING ENGRAVER

1) Insert the ring you wish to engrave into the grooves of the three self-centering fiber jaws
2) Secure the ring by turning the chucking knob clockwise
3) When engraving a diamond ring make sure that the stone is aligned with the stone holder
4) Tighten the set screw to hold the stone
5) The fiber jaws are grooved: a narrow groove for narrow rings and a wide groove for wide rings
6) Loosen the jaw holding screws and reverse the jaws if you need to better match the width of the ring
7) The font dial can be easily changed by removing the thumb screw in the middle of the dial
8) Release the engraving dial by pushing the turning lever towards the dial. This will release the dial-locking pin, allowing you to turn the dial to the desired letter. Once the letter is chosen simply release the turning lever to lock the dial into position
9) Press down on the lever knob and carefully trace the grooves of the letter
10) For best results move the stylus in one direction, do not back up over your work
11) After completing one letter, lift the lever and carefully move the stylus to the next letter part. Do not raise the lever too far or it will advance the ring spacing
12) Once the first letter has been traced, raise the lever upwards until you can feel a little resistance. This will advance the ring into position for the next letter to be engraved (as mentioned in line 10)
13) Raise the lever to release the dial-locking pin and advance to the next required letter
14) Control letter spacing with the adjusting screw. Loosen the wing nut, make the adjustment, then tighten the wing nut. A four-tooth advance of the “gear” beneath the font dial should achieve the correct spacing
