Once the message above disappears, press and hold down the Z Down Jog Button until the cutter tip

touches the engraving material, then continue moving the spindle down for another 0.030 - 0.050

inches (0.75 - 1.25 mm). This is called "pre-loading" the adapter. Pre-loading the EZ Rider Burnishing

Adapter sets the pressure applied by the cutter on to the material. More or less pre-load can be used,

depending on the material to be engraved. The LCD display can be used to view the Z position, and

assist in the pre-loading procedure.

To toggle the jog speed, press the B3 Button.

Once the correct Z position has been set, press the Start button to set the surface position. The

spindle will then move up.

HINT: There is a quick way to set the surface just prior to engraving a job. To do this, send a job to the

machine to be engraved. Press Pause. Press Start. The spindle will move to the first point to be

engraved and pause. You can then jog the Z down until the proper pre-load is achieved, then press

Start to set the surface. Pressing Start again will begin the engraving process.

In the following example job, a burnishing file will be set up and run on coated brass material.
