Marking/etching procedure
Before turning on the SURFOX machine:
1. Add drops of marking or etching solution on the pad when mounted on the
marking/etching wand until saturated.
2. Apply the marking or the etching solution onto the surface to be marked or
etched using the soaked marking wand. Ensure the SURFOX unit is turned
off during this step to avoid unwanted staining of the stainless steel piece.
3. Place the stencil over the wet surface (to hold the stencil in position). Tape
can be used to hold the stencil in place.
4. Turn on the unit and rub the marking/etching wand over the top of the
stencil with a firm, but light pressure, until the marking or etching process is
completed. Make sure the part is grounded.
5. Remove the stencil.
6. Neutralize using SURFOX-N.
