4: Place Steel Plates

Make sure you place the correct steel plate (SH01, SH02 or SH03) depending on the wallet type you are engraving.

  • 2 mm plates: Place two plates on top of each other.
  • 3 mm plates: Place the 3 mm plate on top of a 1 mm protective plate (PSHBP).

The lower steel plate prevents unnecessary permanent marks on the machine's top plate and ensures a combined height of 4 mm.

Do not use any washers even though they were supplied with the machine.

5: Adjust Needle Distance

Loosen the horizontal hammerhead finger screw.
