Thank you for showing your support by

getting your very own LACEnano.

The LACEnano is a brushless rotary tattoo machine

with a magnetic drive, so it will feel a lot like a coil

machine but without the hassle and the weight. It is

also the lightest tattoo machine in the world weighing

in at only 46g/1.6oz.

LACEnano needs a special power supply that comes

with every machine. This is because of the brushless

motor. The LACEnano will not work with standard

power supplies (actually they might hurt the machine

so don’t try it) and other tattoo machines will not work

with the LACEnano power supply.

You also get an international wallwart in the kit; it

has 3 interchangeable wall plugs for when you go to

conventions abroad. The Power supply is pretty self

explanatory; all the connections are different from

POWER SUPPLY

each other, so there is no way of plugging things in

the wrong way. The knob controls the speed of the

machine from 2500 RPM to 8000 RPM (42 Hz to 133

Hz). This is a constant voltage power supply; the

wizardry inside it will adjust the pulses to the motor

and keep the motor spinning at the set speed if the

load increases (if you push harder or put on a bigger

needle). So no more guessing and adjusting the

voltage. This is how brushless motors work.

In the picture bellow are the front and rear panel of

the power supply; You plug the wall wart in to port

(A), your footswitch into port (B) and the machine

into port (C). (D) is the RPM control knob.

The LACEnano has a nger clamp that will take

any standard 8mm tube/grip. It will not crush the

tube like some other guillotine type tube holding

mechanisms do.

This being a magnetic drive machine, it will not work

well with cartridge needles (much like coil machines

don’t because of the magnetic transfer of force)

for this reason we do not recommend the use of

cartridge needles.

The settings are really simple and can be done on

the y without any tools and while tattooing using just

your ngers. The point here is to control the position

of the magnet on the armature bar in relation to the

one spinning on the motor.

The upper thumbnut (2) controls the hit. You adjust

it up for a harder hit and down for a softer hit.

The lower thumbnut (3) controls the stroke. You

increase the stroke by moving it down and decrease

the stroke by moving it up.

THE MACHINE

The jack (1) is where you plug in the LACEnano power

cable.

It is best to use a thin, small diameter rubber band.

Hook it on the backpost (4), stretch it over the needle

loop around the machine and hook it on the backpost

from the other side as seen in the diagram.

The machine might get hot, if you run it at full speed

and with a hard hit for long periods of time without

any brakes. This is not a problem for the machine, but

it might be too hot for your hands if you touch it right

away. For this reason we advise you to use a tattoo

pedal that turns off everytime you remove your

foot so the machine has a few seconds to cool off.

Also; make sure to give it a few moments after you

are done tattooing before you touch it.

This phenomena is common in coil machines and

the reason for it is the high power of the machine. A

small rotary will not get so hot, because it only has a

5w motor, but coils produce much more power (and

heat) and the LACEnano has a 40w motor, so it does

give off some heat.

It is common for artists to use a short stroke for lining

and a long stroke for shading. This is probably what

you have been taught or you may have developed

your own technique to achieve the results you are

after. Nothing is set in stone and it is advisable to set

the machine individually for every skin type, needle

size and technique combination. The LACEnano is not

a one trick pony.

Put the needle you are going to use on the

machine as well as a rubber band if you are

going to use one.

Adjust the give with the upper thumbnut but

make sure that the magnets are not touching

or even hitting each other when the machine is

running! The ballpark is up to 2 full turns down

from the upper most position of the thumbnut.

And now adjust the stroke with the lower

thumbnut; the best useable strokes are from

2.5-4.5mm at the needle.

Adjust the speed on the power supply rst.

THIS IS HOW YOU ADJUST THE MACHINE

(it might be a little counterintuitive):

The LACEnano was designed to be a really low

maintenance machine. You can lube the bearings

with a drop of light machine oil from time to time if

you wish but it’s not really necessary. If you are going

to clean it in an autoclave, then we advise using an

autoclave grade lubricant (you can get it at dental

supply shops – in fact; the bearings on the LACEnano

are dental machine bearings).

You can clean the whole machine (including the

motor) in an autoclave sterilizer at up to 135° C.

Or If you don’t have one you can use any standard

proceed and your options (if you decide to send it

in our repairs are very fairly priced - we’ve got your

back). Attempting repairs on such small mechanical

devices is something like trying to repair your own

mechanical watch and you can break more things

than you x if you do not know the correct procedures

and screw tightening torques.

5Now nally turn the machine on, put your

thumb on where the needle hooks on the

armature bar and feel for the hit. Now make

minor adjustments to the stroke with the lower

thumbnut. When you feel the hit gets stronger

you have found the sweetspot for that particular

speed, needle, give and stroke combination.

You have successfully adjusted your machine. Now

just adjust the needle stickout and you are all set.
