Frequently Asked Questions - Tattoo Machine SABRE

How do I adjust the hit force on the SABRE tattoo machine?

Rotate the one-touch hit adjuster knob at the top of the unit. Less than one full rotation covers the full range. When the metal tab covers number 1, the hit is lightest; covering 11 gives the hardest hit.

How do I install a tube on the SABRE machine?

Turn the vice (1) anti-clockwise until the hole in the grip block aligns with the hole in the body. Insert the tube from the bottom and clamp by turning the vice clockwise. Do not unscrew too far to avoid parts disconnecting.

How often should I lubricate the SABRE machine?

Apply a small amount of SABRELUBE every 100 hours of use. Remove the hit adjuster knob, push the piston down, apply lubricant to the visible piston bore, then re-fit the knob.

What should I do if the vice becomes disconnected?

Carefully align the screw thread with the tapped hole in the grip block and screw it back clockwise. Be careful not to lose any parts.

How do I clean the SABRE tattoo machine?

Use alcohol wipes for general cleaning. Avoid abrasive chemicals or cleaning products as they may cause surface scratching.

How to replace the rubber nipple on the SABRE machine?

The rubber nipple should be replaced after each use. It is a push-fit onto the needle bar. Gently pull off the old one and push on the new one.

What power supply does the SABRE machine need?

The machine operates on 12V DC. Connect it to a power supply using an RCA or clip cord. The voltage can be varied based on personal preference.

What is the stroke length of the SABRE machine?

The stroke length is 4.0 mm, which is compatible with standard tattoo needles.

Is there a warranty for the SABRE machine?

Yes, the SABRE machine comes with a 12-month warranty from the date of purchase. Return to SABRE Tattoo Supplies in the UK if faulty.

Can I adjust the needle retainer on the SABRE machine?

Yes, tighten or loosen the needle retainer (2) using the adjuster knob. Screw clockwise gently until the pulley contacts the needle. Do not overtighten to avoid motor strain.

★ OPERATION ★

THE SABRE TATTOO MACHINE IS DESIGNED TO OPERATE OVER A VARIABLE VOLTAGE RANGE DEPENDING ON PERSONAL PREFERENCE AND THE TYPE OF WORK BEING CREATED.

IT CAN BE CONNECTED TO A POWER SUPPLY USING AN RCA OR CLIP CORD.

THE TUBE CLAMP IS OPERATED BY TURNING THE VICE (1) IN AN ANTI-CLOCKWISE DIRECTION UNTIL THE HOLE IN THE GRIP BLOCK ALIGNS WITH THE HOLE IN THE PLASTIC BODY.

A TUBE IS THEN FITTED FROM THE BOTTOM AND CLAMPED BY TURNING THE VICE IN A CLOCKWISE DIRECTION.

IF THE VICE IS UNSCREWED TOO FAR THE TUBE GRIP BLOCK (4) CAN BECOME DISCONNECTED. CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN NOT TO UNSCREW THE VICE TOO FAR AS PARTS CAN BECOME DISCONNECTED.

IF THIS HAPPENS, BE CAREFUL NOT TO LOSE ANY PARTS.

GENTLY ALIGN THE SCREW THREAD WITH THE TAPPED HOLE IN THE GRIP BLOCK AND SCREW IT BACK IN A CLOCKWISE DIRECTION.

THE SABRE IS FITTED WITH A "ONE TOUCH" HIT ADJUSTER (3), SETTINGS ARE ALTERED BY ROTATING THE METAL ADJUSTER KNOB AT THE TOP OF THE UNIT. THE FULL RANGE OF SETTINGS CAN BE ACHIEVED WITH LESS THAN ONE ROTATION. WHEN THE METAL TAB IS COVERING THE NUMBER 1, THE MACHINE IS SET TO ITS LIGHTEST HIT. WHEN NUMBER 11 IS COVERED, THE MACHINE IS SET TO ITS HARDEST HIT.

THE NEEDLE RETAINER (2) CAN BE TIGHTENED AND LOOSENED USING THE ADJUSTER KNOB. SCREW THE KNOB GENTLY IN A CLOCKWISE DIRECTION UNTIL THE PULLEY IS IN CONTACT WITH THE NEEDLE AND KEEPS IT IN PLACE ON THE RUBBER NIPPLE. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN AS THIS WILL PUT UNWANTED STRAIN ON THE MOTOR.

AS WITH MOST TATTOO MACHINES THE RUBBER NIPPLE COMPONENT SHOULD BE REPLACED AFTER EACH USE. THIS IS A PUSH FIT ONTO THE NEEDLE BAR.

CARE

A SMALL AMOUNT OF SABRELUBE IS USED TO LUBRICATE THE PISTON.

IT IS RECOMMENDED TO RE APPLY A SMALL AMOUNT OF SABRELUBE FOR EVERY 100 HOURS OF USE.

TO APPLY, REMOVE THE HIT ADJUSTER KNOB (3) BY TWISTING AND PULLING IT UPWARDS.

IT WILL COME OFF ITS RETAINING O RING.

WHEN THE KNOB IS REMOVED, THE PISTON (5) CAN BE SEEN IN THE BORE.

PUSH THE PISTON DOWN TO ITS LOWEST POINT OF TRAVEL.

APPLY A SMALL AMOUNT OF SABRELUBE TO THE VISIBLE PISTON BORE.

THE HIT ADJUSTER KNOB IS THEN RE FITTED BY ALIGNING THE CENTRAL GROOVE WITH THE

PISTON AND GENTLY PUSHING IT DOWN ONTO THE O-RING WHilst TURNING GENTLY.

A LIGHT COATING OF SABRELUBE CAN BE APPLIED TO THE O-RING TO MAKE RE ASSEMBLY EASIER.

IF GREASE IS EXCESSIVELY APPLIED IT MAY WORK ITS WAY OUT OF THE PISTON AREA OVER TIME.

THIS SHOULD NOT CAUSE DAMAGE, AND ANY GREASE CAN BE WIPED OFF THE MACHINE WITH A SOFT CLOTH.

THE REAR OF THE MACHINE CONTAINS ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS AND SHOULD NOT NEED TO BE ACCESSED AT ANY TIME.

UNLESS STATED IN THIS USER MANUAL, PARTS OR SCREWS SHOULD NOT BE REMOVED OR TAMPERED WITH AS THIS MAY AFFECT THE FUNCTION OF THE MACHINE.

WE RECOMMEND USING ALCOHOL WIPES FOR GENERAL CLEANING.

USE OF ANY ABRASIVE CHEMICALS OR CLEANING PRODUCTS COULD RESULT IN SURFACE SCRATCHING.
