The following solutions should quickly solve the most common problems users encounter. Should an issue arise
beyond the scope of these troubleshooting tips, contact our customer service support team or a trained repair
professional for help.
Nothing happens when the engraver is turned on.
Check that the engraver's power cord and any intermediary surge protector are both fi rmly connected with a stable
compatible power supply. Check the engraver and any surge protector's fuses to see if they have burnt out and require
replacement.
The laser beam does not fi re.
Check that the water cooling system is working properly and the tank is well supplied with cool (but not icy) distilled
water. Check the laser's path for misalignment and, if necessary, perform the adjustment procedure as discussed in
§5.3.
The laser begins fi ring continuously.
Check that the power cord is using a fully grounded outlet. If this cannot be provided or determined, use the separate
grounding wire as discussed in §3.6.
The laser head behaves erratically.
Adjust the limit switches on each rail to make sure they are behaving properly. Check that the laser is well grounded.
Reduce the speed parameters for your design, adjusting the power level as necessary.
