2. Clamp

1) Flatbed Clamp

Place the material on the flatbed then secure it by using the clamps provided (see clamps below). The clamps are used to secure the material to the flatbed so that the material stays in place during engraving or cutting process. The number of clamps to be used may vary depending on the size and/or shape of the material.

How to secure the material with press clamps

For thin material:
Both press and push clamps can be used to secure thin materials. Use the knobs to attach the clamps to the flatbed. Screw the knobs down to the flatbed to secure the material in place. Take note that the position of the clamps and the number of clamps to be used may depend on the size and shape of the material. It may also depend on user’s preference.

Press clamp with knob Push clamp with knob

For thick material:

  1. Assemble the press clamp. Insert the M5x25mm knob into the hole of the press clamp then screw the cap.

  1. Place the material on the clamp.

s3clamp14.jpg

  1. Place the assembled press clamp on top of the material (in a horizontal position). The clamp must be placed on the same level as the material surface.

s3clamp15.png

  1. Attach the press clamp to the flatbed. Insert the M5x30mm knob into the press clamp then screw the knob down to secure the material to the flatbed.

s3clamp16.png

  1. Secure the sides of the material. Use two or more clamps to secure the material. Be sure to screw the knobs down to the flatbed so the material stays in place.

2) Multipurpose Clamp

The package includes a multifunctional clamp that is easily assembled, disassembled and transformed into 3 different types of clamps. It can be adjusted according to the height of the material, and can be expanded according to the material’s thickness, size, and shape. This single clamp alone makes engraving on various materials possible without the use of any additional clamps.


How to secure the material in place

Use the clamping knob to secure your material in place. To loosen or widen the clamp, turn the clamping knob counterclockwise; to fasten it, turn the knob clockwise.

e7clamp12.png

Marks may be left on the material if fastened tightly.


How to position the material

Use the vertical ruler bar as an alignment guide to help you position and align your material to the clamp with ease and accuracy. Properly place your material on the clamp then check the alignment.


How to secure the material with irregular shape in place

Use the clamping pins to firmly hold materials with irregular shapes in place. To secure the clamping pins to the clamp, simply insert the pins into the pin holes then fasten them.

6. Tension Tool

L-wrench(1.5mm)
(CP-L15)
1EA Tool for tightening/replacement of bolt.
Tension tip(4Ø)
(T40-TA20)
1EA Tool for engraving of material. (For spindle)

e3tension1.png

It is necessary to use a tension tool as engraving with a diamond/carbide tip tool requires more pressure.

How to adjust the pressure

When engraving with a tension tool, the engraving depth is adjusted by pressure. This has the same effect as assigning the engraving depth when creating a tool path. To increase pressure, turn the tension adjustment bolt counterclockwise (with a 1.5mm L-wrench). To decrease pressure, turn it clockwise.

e3tension2.png

How to assemble the tension tip

First, insert the tension tip (2Ø) into the tip (4Ø). Then, insert the spring. Lastly, insert the bolt then screw it with a 1.5mm L-wrench.

e3tension3.png

*Be sure to screw the bolt deep until it reaches the tool’s end. The bolt must appear even and/or aligned to the tension tool.

7. Switching Tools


Do not let any of your body parts or any foreign objects get caught in the machine during operation. 

The tools of the machine are sharp, and may cause serious physical injury.


Please wear safety glasses during engraving process for safety. 

Debris like metal chips and dusts may cause serious eye injury if they get stuck in the eye.


• Spindle

Name Picture Quantity Usage
T-wrench

(2mm)
1EA Tool for tightening/unscrewing of bolt.

As shown below, insert the 2mm wrench into the fixing bolt. Turn the wrench to the left to unscrew bolt. To prevent the tool from falling to the floor, grab tool with your hand then pull it out. Once the tool is removed, replace it with a new tool then secure it using a wrench for tightening bolts. ※See package contents

When unscrewing the tool fixing bolt, hold the tool with your hand while unscrewing to avoid the bolt from dropping on the floor.

8. Spindle Belt Replacement

The spindle belt transmits the rotational force of the spindle motor to the spindle to enable fast rotation of the blades. Worn out spindle belts cause the surface to crack and slip, causing the spindle motor to fail or function properly. If the force is not transmitted properly, the spindle’s rotational speed will decrease, leading to poor engraving performance and quality. Additionally, a damaged spindle belt has the potential to cause the tool to break.

• Spindle Belt Size: 40Ø (40mm)

• Replacement Cycle: The lifespan of the spindle belt is contingent upon the conditions of use, but it should be replaced at the latest every two to three months.


Spindle Belt Replacement Method

  1. Turn off the MAGIC™-E3.

  2. Remove the head cover by unscrewing the four bolts on both sides using a 2.5mm wrench.

e3spindle1.png

  1. You will see a red rubber belt attached around the head. Remove this belt then replace it with a new one.

  1. Put back the head cover then screw the bolts using the wrench. Fasten the L-tool fixing bolt by turning it clockwise.
