Security Statement

For the purpose of engraving or cutting with a laser engraving machine, allow the workpiece to be exposed to the high-density laser beam emitted by the laser engraving machine. The workpiece may be subject to gasification without combustion as it is pretty hot on the surface. On the other hand, most workpieces are essentially combustible, which may be ignited, leading to an open flame and consequently to the machine breakdown and environmental contamination.

  1.  It is prohibited to store the machine in areas close to combustible and explosive substances, volatile solvents or source or heat. Instead, store it in a well ventilated, cool and dust-free place.
  2.  Make sure that only the specific attached power cord rather than other similar power cords are used during installation.
  3. Clean the tripod and laser module with a dry cloth regularly when the power is off.
  4. Ensure to run the laser at 0°C-35°C. It is prohibited to run the machine under wet environment or in thunderstorm weather.
  5.  Switch off the machine if it is offline for an extended period of time, and unplug the power cord.
  6. It is prohibited to come in contact with electronic areas with hands or other tools when the machine is connected to power supply.
  7. Touching any moving parts and laser module while the machine is running is prohibited.
  8. Before engraving, place a flat object that cannot be penetrated by the laser, such as an aluminium alloy or stainless-steel plate on the workbench, and then place processing material.
  9.  Wear goggles to prevent vision damage arising from exposure to the laser spot during laser engraving operation.
  10. It is advisable to run the machine under well ventilated condition as laser engraving may generate small amount of fume or gas.
  11.  Children under 10 years old are not allowed to run the machine without adult presence, which otherwise may lead to personal injury.
  12.  Put in place fire extinguishers in case of use, which shall be regularly checked. It is prohibited to keep the machine unattended while it is running.
  13. Users should comply with the laws and regulations of the corresponding countries and regions where the equipment is located (used), abide by professional ethics, play attention to safety obligations, and strictly prohibit the use of our products or equipment for any illegal purpose. Realty will not be responsible for any violators’ legal liability under any circumstance.

Falcon Engraver Laser Engraving Machine - T-shaped nutsAssemble 5W laser module: Assemble it into the fixing plate and the fixed focus bar should contact with the surface of the processed material when it is naturally vertical downward. Then lock it with two hand screws on the right and turn the fixed focus bar clockwise until it is attracted by the magnet. Finally plug in the laser module cord. Assemble 10W laser module: Please place the multi-level fixed focus bar between the laser module and the processed material. Follow the tips and make the bottom of the laser module contact with the corresponding surface of the multi-level fixed focus bar. Finally lock with two hand screws on the right. For example, if you engrave or cut a 2mm basswood or other material:CREALITY CR-Laser
Falcon Engraver Laser Engraving Machine - Laser moduleFor better engraving effect, try to elevate the laser module as far away from the workbench as possible on the premise that the focal length is correct. The laser module must be installed and removed only when the power is off.
Software installation and usage guide
The machine supports real-time working by Type-C (Light Burn or LaserGRBL) and offline working (Light Burn only).
Start Engraving
Please follow the assembly directions to focus correctly and wipe the protective lens of the laser module with dustless cloth and alcohol to ensure the best engraving effect. The filter cotton in 5W lase module and the cover for 10W laser module can be removed directly for cleaning. Offline working
First generate and engraving file (.geode/.gc/.g/.nc/.ngc) through LightBurn, and save it to the root directory of the TF card (The machine reads the engraving file whose modified date is latest in the root directory of the TF card by default. It is recommended to delete other engraving files in the root directory) Insert the TF card before powering on, connect the machine with the supplied power adapter and power cord. Finally turn on the red switch on the left side of the control box.CREALITY CR-Laser Falcon Engraver Laser
