Never use this machine for sawing or drilling.
Do not use this machine for working with wood.
Do not use this machine in explosive environment.
• This machine is only designed for one user. Do not let several people use the machine simultaneously.
• If the machine is not to be used for a long period, unplug the electricity supply and cover the machine (packaging,

• The machine should never be used with anything other than Gravograph accessories and tools.
• Never hold the material to be engraved in your hands. Only use the GRAVOGRAPH clamping systems

• Make sure that the material is well clamped before starting to engrave.
• During engraving, do not use this machine without a nose (depth regulating nose or vacuum nose) in order to
avoid projections of swarf.
• Do not take the engraving material out of the machine during engraving.
• If the engraving must be stopped, use the function key provided for this purpose on the keyboard of the

To avoid any risks of being crushed by the machine during engraving, do not
stand near the tools (the travel area of the tool is 225 x 80mm).
Do not lean over the spindle holder.
Ensure that no one is in the travelling area of the moving parts of the machine and
that no object will obstruct the travelling of the moving parts.
This sign shown on the tool-holder of the machine shows the danger
caused by the rotating spindle during engraving (risks of getting burnt
or cut).
To avoid any risks of getting burnt, the protective belt housing of the
tool-holder must be always closed, except when carrying out
adjustments.
