This manual is a designated user guide engraver for cabinet laser
installation, setup, safe operation, and maintenance. Covers general
information, safety instructions, installation steps, operating instructions,
maintenance procedures, and contact information.
All personnel involved in the installation, setup, operation, maintenance,
and repair of this machine should read and understand this manual,
especially its safety instructions. Some components have extremely high
voltages and/or generate powerful laser radiation. Substandard
performance and longevity, property damage, and personal injury can
result from not understanding and following these instructions.
Your laser engraver works by emitting a powerful laser beam from a
glass tube filled with insulating carbon dioxide (CO2), reflecting that beam
off three mirrors and reflecting it through a focusing lens, and using this
focused light to etch the design onto certain substrates. The first mirror is
fixed near the end of the laser tube, the second mirror travels along the
Y-axis of the machine, and the third mirror is attached to the laser head
traveling along the X-axis. Since some of the dust from the engraving
process settles on the mirror, it needs to be cleaned frequently. Since they
move during operation, they also need to be readjusted periodically with
the set screws to which they are attached to maintain the correct laser path.
A water-cooled system (usually a pump or cooler) must be used with this
engraver to dissipate the heat generated by the laser tube. Similarly, an
exhaust system (usually an external vent or a dedicated air purifier) must
be used to remove the dust and gases generated during the engraving
process.
Running your laser consistently above 70% of its maximum power rating
will significantly shorten its lifespan. It is recom-mended to set at 10-70% of
the maximum rated power for optimal performance and longevity
Please note that this is a high-voltage device and for safety reasons, it is
recommended to only touch its components with one hand at a time during
use.
Note that active lasers are invisible to the human eye. This appliance
