3. Use the thumbscrew (1) removed earlier to hold the air assist back sweep in place. Adjust the air
assist back sweep’s height by loosening the thumbscrew (2) and adjusting it up or down. Tighten the
thumbscrew once it is at the desired height. To adjust the angle of the air flow, turn the screw (3) in
small increments to direct the air jet to the desired position over the material. A convenient way to
align the air flow is to focus on the material to be processed and then align the nozzle using the angle
and height adjustments toward the red target laser which is on when the laser system is powered on
and the top door is open.
Note: If you remove the backsweep, always remember to reattach the mounting thumbscrew (1) to seal the
air feed port.
Air Assist Cone
To install the cone, insert the cone (1) into the cone base completely until it bottoms out. Tighten the screw on the
side of the cone base (2) until it is snug. To remove the cone, simply loosen the screw (2) and pull the cone
straight down. Do not remove or loosen the cone base mounting screws (3) & (4) to mount or dismount the cone.
These screws keep the cone base aligned with the laser beam. If the cone becomes misaligned with the beam,
portions of the laser beam will be clipped causing a loss of laser power to the material. If this occurs, follow
instructions below to realign the cone.
