5.4.1 Red Dot Locator Alignment
To test the alignment of the laser tube with the 1st mirror, cut out a piece of tape and place it on the mirror's frame.
DO NOT place the tape directly onto the mirror. Turn on the machine. You should be able to see a small red dot on
the tape. To check alignment directly from the laser (not recommended), close the bays and set the power level to
15% or lower. Press PULSE to manually fi re the laser. You should be able to see a small mark on the tape. If it is
not noticeable, press PULSE again.
Pressing PULSE activates the laser. Always make sure the path is clear between the laser and its target.
Never allow foreign objects between the laser and its target. Take care not to leave any part of your body in
the laser path while pressing the PULSE button.
The dot or mark should be near the center of the hole. If the laser is not centered on the 1st mirror, cut the power to
your laser and carefully adjust the laser tube in its brackets. This may require loosening the bolts on its stand. Be
careful not to overloosen the bolts and not to overtighten them. Only adjust one stand at a time.
