Chapter 4: First Time User’s Guide
The following is an extra guide on how to connect your machine to your PC and how to create and
engrave a simple design using the copy of LaserDRW provided with your machine. For general
information and installation instructions, see the separate engraver and software manuals.
1) Before use, make sure your machine is properly grounded and placed in a leveled and safe location.
You will also need a proper exhaust setup. We recommend that you attach the venting hose to a filtra-
tion system but, if this is not possible, place the hose so that it can vent outside the building. Never
operate the machine in a closed room, as the smoke and fumes can irritate your eyes, nose, mouth
and lungs.
2) Next, connect and set up the provided water pump. Always make sure that the water pump is
connected to its power source and circulating water through the tube before you power on the
machine. The machine has a safety feature that will disable the laser until it senses an active
water-cooling system. Using the laser machine without a water pump or chiller will severely damage
the laser tube.
3) If you have not already done so, install LaserDRW, the software program provided in the CD in
your accessories bag. Once installed, connect the machine to your PC using the provided USB
cable. Connect the provided USB as well. Once connected, open LaserDRW.
