same time, the stopping pin (B) retracts and disengages
from the notch of the template (J) which can then be rotated
for the next character.
Note : If you forget to turn the dial after raising the lever (F), you
may release the template by pushing back the release lever (I).
Adjusting the space
The space between the characters is determined by adjusting
the screw (R) see Fig. 1. A four or five tooth advance for each
push of the pawl (G) will give the correct spacing. Do not forget
to tighten the nut (U) of the adjusting screw (R), see Fig. 1.
Engraving depth
The inside ring engraving machine has been adjusted at the
factory. There is no need to change the engraving depth if you
are getting good results.
To make a deeper cut, turn the nut (P) clockwise to increase the
cutting pressure of the spring (Q) see fig. 10. Deeper cutting
will also be achieved by pressing down the lever (F) closely to
the base.
Adjusting the position of the diamond point (D) in the centre of
the ring
1. Take off the top of the machine by removing the four
screws at the back.
2. When centring, use evenly shaped rings with a symmetrical
cross section (Fig. 1).
3. If the letters are engraved above the centre line (Fig.3)
Looking from the front of the machine, turn the nut (B)
slightly to the left (anti-clockwise) and loosen the screw (A).
Then looking from the back, turn the nut (C) slightly to the
right (clockwise), the diamond point (D) will move towards
the front.
4. If the letters are engraved below the centre line (Fig. 4)
Looking from the front of the machine, turn the nut (B)
slightly to the left (anti-clockwise) and loosen the screw (A).
Then looking from the back turn the nut (C) slightly to the left
(anti-clockwise); the diamond point (D) will move towards the
back.
5. IMPORTANT! Once you have adjusted the centre in the
correct position, do not forget to re-tighten the nut (B) and
screw (D).
