If you have any problems with your pyrography machine, check the instruction manual for your particular make and model. These guides often include a troubleshooting guide for common faults that can be resolved easily. If the fault appears serious, make sure you get it examined or repaired by a qualified engineer. This is particularly important if the fault appears to be of an electrical nature: if the machine displays any sparks or makes any buzzing noises, turn it off and disconnect it immediately before seeking professional advice. I would suggest you contact the manufacturer to see if they have any servicing agreements, or make enquiries with the retailer that you purchased it from.

My first pyrography machine developed a fault while I was in the middle of an important project. There appeared to be a problem with the connection inside the power unit, which was remedied by placing a pressure or weight on it.

In my rush to finish the project without waiting for my new machine to arrive, I used an easily available pressure source to make the machine work. Unfortunately, the chosen pressure source was my knee, which I found was not exactly heat resistant, and I still have a small scar there to this day resulting from the burn. Please take note of my mistake and learn from it!
