Top Left Access
Door

carefully support the door as it opens to avoid damage.

Top Right Access
Door
This door provides access to the right Y-axis rail and its motor.
D Extension Box
The power of a
CO₂
laser is directly related to the length of its tube. This
extension box allows you to use a longer and stronger tube without
needless wasted space in the rest of the engraver. However, take care
to protect it. Do not place it in a location where anyone might run into
it, place any items upon it, or otherwise risk damage to the fragile glass
tube inside.
E
Side Pass-
Through Doors
These doors open to allow larger pieces of material to be fed through
the workbed. When open, care must be taken to avoid exposure to the
laser beam or its reflection.
F
Bottom Left Ac-
cess Door
This door provides access to the waste bin under the workbed and the
air assist pump, regulator, and digital control. It also provides access to
the U-axis motor and the large screws that the workbed moves up and
down. These should be lubricated as needed, typically once a month or
every few months.
G
Bottom Right
Access Door
This door provides access to the electronics bay with the mainboard,
laser power supply, and other electrical connections. Always remember
to make any adjustments to these components when the engraver
is turned off and FULLY disconnected from its power supply. The
connection between the laser power supply and the laser tube is
extremely high voltage and extremely dangerous.
H Cooling Fans
These two fans help keep the engraver’s electronic components from
overheating. Be sure that they are well-ventilated and completely
unobstructed during use.
I
Caster Wheels &
Foot Pads
These wheels help move the engraver into place, after which the pads
hold the engraver steady while protecting your flooring.
