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 flames 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 of 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 aluminum 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;

Equipment Intro

PARTS LIST

Assemble directions

1. Assemble the left Y-axis assembly:Pass the left Y-axis assembly (with the belt up) through the X-axis assembly and put on the belt in the direction shown in the figure:
2. Assemble the right Y-axis assembly and it is the same as above.Insert two T-shaped nuts into the left and right Y-axis assembly.
3. Assemble rear X-axis profile and front X-axis profile: Lock with eight M5*20 screws.
4. Assemble three tripods and control box assembly: Lock with eight screws. Push the X-axis assembly to the end and make sure it is parallel to the rear X-axis profile.
5. Assemble 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.
6. 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 it with two hand screws on the right.For example,if you engrave or cut a 2mm basswood or other material:

For 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(LightBurn or LaserGRBL) and offline working(LightBurn 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 laser module and the cover for 10W laser module can be removed directly for cleaning.

Offline working

1. First generate an engraving file (gcode/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.
   When power on, the machine emits “beep, beep, beep”. After the machine is initialized, it enters the standby mode,and the indicator light turns into breathing state.

2. Press the microswitch, it enters preview mode from standby mode, the laser head will emit weak light, and repeat movement around the largest X, Y edge of the processed picture with indicator light on. At this time, adjust the material to a suitable position.

3. In preview mode, press microswitch again, it enters engraving mode. At this time, the laser head will emit strong light, the machine will start engraving with indicator light on.

4. Pause engraving: press the microswitch (or click “Pause” button in the software). At this time, the indicator light turns into breathing light. Press the microswitch again to continue engraving.

5. Cancel engraving: Please press and hold the microswitch for 3 seconds (or click “Cancel” button in the software), it will “beep” once, starts to reset, and “beep” twice after reset is completed. Enter standby mode, the indicator light turns into breathing light.

6. After engraving is completed, it will “beep” three times and reset. After reset completed, it “beep” twice, enters standby mode, and the indicator light turns into breathing light.

Real-time working

For real-time working by Type-C, please refer to the tutorial in the TF card. During online working, do not insert the TF card and do not press the microswitch on the control box.

Indicator Status

1. Light off: The machine is in a power-off state, or the power is abnormal.
2. Breathing light: The machine is in standby mode, you can press the microswitch to enter preview mode or engraving mode. (Present a light effect with a gradual change of light and shade.)
3. Light flashes: the machine is in upgrade mode or abnormal mode, and the buzzer beeps rapidly, and it will automatically enter standby mode after the upgrade is completed or the abnormality is cleared.
