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.

s3clamp13.png

  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.

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.

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. Pressure Lock

e7pressure1.png

Setting Machine Pressure Lock

Lock the pressure lock when cutting or engraving materials with a V cutter to reduce vibration during engraving for enhanced cutting and engraving quality, and to extend the life of the tools. Turn the pressure lock clockwise to lock then turn it counterclockwise to unlock/release pressure.

[When using endmill/ V-cutter etc.] [When using diamond/ carbide tip]

Pressure is needed when engraving with a diamond/carbide tip tool. Hence, tension must be unlocked to release pressure.

Pressure Adjuster

When engraving with a diamond/carbide tip, adjust the depth by pressure. This has the same effect as assigning the engraving depth when creating a tool path. To increase pressure, turn the pressure adjuster counterclockwise; to decrease pressure, turn it clockwise

9. 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-E4.

  2. Remove the head cover by unscrewing the 8 bolts on both and back sides using a 2.5mm wrench.

e4spindle1.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.
