    How to focus Full Spectrum Laser Cutter for cutting?
    • G
      gsmithAug 19, 2025
      If the engraved lines from your Full Spectrum Laser Cutter are diffuse and cutting fails even at high power, ensure that the laser is in focus. Use the included focus billet on top of your workpiece, loosen the lens slide so the output nozzle rests on the billet, and then retighten the slide.

    Why my PC does not connect to Full Spectrum Laser Cutter?
    • D
      Darryl WatsonAug 21, 2025
      If your PC isn't connecting to your Full Spectrum Laser Cutter, first ensure your internet connection is properly configured for DHCP. After connecting the Ethernet cable, reset the laser. If the issue persists, temporarily disable any third-party antivirus software or Windows Firewall, as they might be blocking the connection.

    What to do if Full Spectrum Laser Cutter pauses during a job?
    • A
      Alyssa WilliamsAug 23, 2025
      If the Full Spectrum Laser Cutter pauses during a job, the issue might be related to ElectroMagnetic Interference (EMI) affecting the front touch panel. Try unplugging the short USB cable going to the panel. Alternatively, run the job with the lid open. If these steps don't resolve the problem, clean the electrode and rewrap the ground wire on the laser tube, ensuring you sand the electrode surface before rewrapping and securing with teflon tape.

      Mark ButlerAug 26, 2025
      If your Full Spectrum Laser Cutter isn't firing, ensure the cover is closed during operation or test fires. Check that the magnet wires are securely connected to the terminals on the power supply. Also, verify water is flowing from right to left through the laser tube. If the issue persists, contact support.

    What to do if Full Spectrum Laser Cutter head crashes during a job?
    • B
      branchaliciaAug 28, 2025
      If your Full Spectrum Laser Cutter head crashes during a job, especially on jobs using the full work area, ensure the laser is Homed first to enable soft limits. In raster mode, remember that the laser requires acceleration and deceleration distance, which varies with speed. A general rule of thumb is to allow 1” clearance on the left and right at 100% raster speed.

    How to fix Full Spectrum Laser Cutter when it is unable to HOME?
    • M
      manninggregoryAug 30, 2025
      If the Full Spectrum Laser Cutter is unable to HOME and crashes before tripping the optical interrupt, especially along the Y axis, use a business card or small piece of paper to interrupt the problem axis during homing to stop the motion. If the axis stops moving, the issue is mechanical. Try loosening the two M3 screws securing the optical interrupt and slide it towards the front of the laser. Alternatively, loosen the two M4 nuts holding the flag in place and slide the flag towards the interrupt, being careful not to unscrew the wheel axles.

    What to do if Full Spectrum Laser Cutter front panel does not turn on?
    • D
      deanna11Sep 1, 2025
      If the front panel of your Full Spectrum Laser Cutter does not turn on, check the internal USB connection between the Control Card and the Control Panel. If the USB cable is connected, verify the Control Card is receiving power by checking if the green LED on the Ethernet port is lit. If not, ensure the laser is plugged in and the power is ON (E­stop unlocked). If the laser is powered, check that the power supply is receiving power (green LED on main board lit). Finally, check the connections between the laser and power supply. If problems persist, contact support.

    How to resolve laser head skipping during raster on Full Spectrum Laser Cutter?
    • D
      Dana HensonSep 3, 2025
      If your Full Spectrum Laser Cutter head skips during raster operations, try loosening the cams and testing a raster job at 0% power. Ensure the adjustment spacers are tight enough to restrict excessive laser head movement but still allow manual movement without too much effort, testing with the laser off or motors unlocked.

    Why is the red diode laser OFF on my Full Spectrum Laser Cutter?
    • G
      Grace ColemanSep 5, 2025
      If the red diode laser on your Full Spectrum Laser Cutter is OFF, check that the plugs on the power supply are connected, as they may have come loose during shipping.

    Why are the vector cut rectangles out of square on my Full Spectrum Laser Cutter?
    • J
      johnwrightSep 7, 2025
      If the vector cut rectangles from your Full Spectrum Laser Cutter are out of square (lines are straight, but angles are wrong), this is usually caused by a loose rear coupler or an uneven belt. Loosen the motor flex coupling using the 2mm hex key.
