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.

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;
Make sure that only the speciﬁc attached power cord rather than other similar power cords are used during installation
Clean the tripod and laser module with a dry cloth regularly when the power is off.
Ensure to run the laser at 0°C-35°C. Operation at sub-zero temperature is prohibited; It is prohibited to run the machine under wet environment or in thunderstorm weather;
Switch off the machine if it is ofﬂine for an extended period of time, and unplug the power cord;
It is prohibited to come in contact with electronic areas with hands or other tools when the machine is connected to power supply;
Touching any moving parts and laser module while the machine is running is prohibited;
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.
Wear goggles to prevent vision damage arising from exposure to the laser spot during laser engraving operation;
It is advisable to run the machine under well ventilated condition as laser engraving may generate small amount of fume or gas;

Software installation and usage guide

TF LightBurn LaserGRBL TF

The TF card that comes with the machine contains the tutorials of LightBurn and LaserGRBL.You can get the relevant information from the TF card.
