Under the color Black, set the speed to 1 Inch/sec and power to 10% to cut this file in the paper.
Click OK.
Click the Cut button to load the Cut and Engrave Menu. The nozzle air must be turned on for the
laser to fire. Click the Air On/Off button to turn on the nozzle air and adjust the regulator to
approximately 20 PSI of compressed air. Check the Cut vector files box and then press Continue to
start the cutting of the file. The laser head will first align itself to and then move to the file on your
tabletop.
The motion will pause at the start position of the deer on the table. Next the beam focus can be set
to the material surface by placing the supplied Kern Laser Spacer. Place the spacer on the top of the
material to be cut and slowly lower the focus optics down until it gently touches the spacer. Lowering
of the nozzle is done by loosening the lever on the optics tube. Tighten the lever, remove the spacer
and press the ENTER key or click Continue on your screen.
Note: If the metal cutting option is installed, the Height Follower Motor can be powered off and the
knob next to the optics tube can be used to lower the nozzle down to the spacer.
The system will follow the programmed path at 1 Inch Per Second (IPS) that you previously set in
the Vector Settings tab, while firing the laser at 10% power. At this speed and power, the system
will cut the paper. Once the cut is done the laser will return to its home position.
Do not stare at the laser beam in the cut area or permit others to do so. If laser system makes a
grinding noise or acts out of the ordinary press the Emergency Stop switch and contact a Kern
technical staff member.
