Keep for Future Reference
PREFACE
Thank you for choosing our laser equipment.
This fiber laser marking machine is intended for personal and professional
use.
Read this manual carefully before operation. It covers the details of correct
installation, adjustment, maintenance, and—most importantly—safe operation of
your new laser. It is intended to be used in conjunction with the manual for
its engraving software, as the program not only provides image design but also
serves as the main interface for the laser settings and machine controls. You
and any other users of this device should thoroughly understand BOTH
manuals before attempting to operate the laser.
Both manuals should be included in this device given or sold to a third party.
If you have any questions, after reading these manuals, please contact us and
our support department will address your concerns as soon as possible.
Introduction
1.1 General Information
This manual is the designated user guide for the installation, setup, safe
operation, and maintenance of your fiber laser marking machine. It is divided
into six chapters covering general information, safety instructions,
installation steps, operation instructions, maintenance instructions, and
contact information.
All personnel involved in the installation, setup, operation, maintenance, and
repair of this machine should read and understand this manual, particularly
its safety instructions. Substandard performance and longevity, property
damage, and personal injury may result from not knowing and following these
instructions. Your fiber laser marker works by emitting a powerful laser beam
from its fiber laser source, sending that beam through a fiber optic cable,
focusing its power through the galvanometer lens, and using this focused light
to etch designs into certain substrates.
This fiber laser marking machine uses a nanoscale fiber laser source. Its
single-mode output, good heat dissipation, high efficiency, and compact
structure make it ideal for high-precision laser marking. With typical use,
this device has an average lifespan of around 100,000 working hours. However,
constantly running your laser above 80% of its maximum rated power can
significantly shorten its service life. It is recommended to use settings from
10–75% of the maximum rated power to enjoy optimal performance and longevity.
Note that this is a high-voltage device and, as a safety precaution, it is
recommended to only touch its components with one hand at a time during use.
Note also that this device does not have protective housing. It is thus
recommended to use a special room or to raise protective screens around the
work area. The active laser is invisible to the human eye and anyone in or
near the working area MUST use special protective eyewear when the laser
is in use to avoid potentially permanent injury.

Take care not to use your extinguisher too close to the flame, as its high pressure can produce blowback.
2.3 Laser Safety Instructions
This machine uses an invisible CLASS 4 LASER , the strongest and most
dangerous class of laser available for public use. Used without care, it can
cause serious property damage and personal injury including but not limited
to the following:
- The laser will easily burn nearby combustible materials
- Some working materials may produce radiation or harmful gasses during processing
- Direct exposure to the laser will cause bodily harm including serious burns and irreparable eye damage As such,
- NEVER interfere with the laser beam.
- DO NOT place any part of your body under the laser lens during operation. Take measures to protect yourself from potentially reflected laser beams including the use of screens or personal protective equipment.
- NEVER attempt to view the laser directly without protective eyewear. Always wear safety goggles or glasses designed to filter the specific wavelength of your engraver’s laser with an optical density (OD) of 5+. As even seemingly matte materials can produce harmful reflected beams, care should be taken to keep anyone without protective eyewear from observing the machine during operation. EVEN WITH protective eyewear, do not stare or allow others to stare continuously at the laser beam during operation.
- DO NOT leave potentially combustible, flammable, explosive, or corrosive materials nearby where they could be exposed to the direct or reflected laser beam.
- DO NOT use or leave sensitive EMI equipment nearby. Ensure the area around the laser is free of strong electromagnetic interference during any use.
- ONLY use this machine as described in the Material Safety section of this manual. The laser settings and engraving process must be properly adjusted for specific materials.
- Ensure the area is kept free of airborne pollutants, as these might pose a similar risk of reflection, combustion, etc.
- NEVER use this marking machine with the fiber source’s housing opened, as the closed laser light path is necessary to prevent laser radiation leakage.
- DO NOT modify or disassemble the laser and do not use the laser if it has been modified or disassembled by anyone except trained and skilled professionals. Dangerous radiation exposure and another injury may result from the use of adjusted, modified, or otherwise incompatible equipment.
2.4 Electrical Safety Instructions
-
ONLY use this device with a compatible and stable power supply with less than 5% fluctuation in its voltage.
-
DO NOT connect other devices to the same fuse, as the laser system will require its full amperage. Do not use with standard extension cords or power strips. Use only surge protectors rated over 2000J.
-
ONLY turn on the power to this device when it is well-grounded, either via a firm connection to a 3-prong outlet or via a dedicated grounding cable firmly connected to the proper slot on the back of the main tower. Do not use with an ungrounded 3 to 2 prong adapter. The device’s grounding should be checked regularly for any damage to the line or lost connections.
-
Turn the device on and off using its key and power buttons in the correct order. The mainboard, galvanometer, and laser have separate power supplies that are grounded in order. Activating everything at once, too quickly, or in the wrong order may send electrical current to an ungrounded component, causing short circuits and other electrical hazards.
-
ONLY use this device with one hand at a time. The laser is powered by an extremely high voltage connection and placing two hands on the machine at one time during operation has the potential to create a closed circuit with the human body, resulting in electrical shock.
-
The area around this laser marking device should be kept dry, well ventilated, and environmentally controlled to keep the ambient temperature between 40–95°F (5–35°C). The ambient humidity should not exceed 70%.
-
Adjustment, maintenance, and repair of the electrical components of this device must be done ONLY by trained and skilled professionals to avoid fires and other malfunctions, including potential radiation exposure from damage to the laser components. Because specialized techniques are required for testing the electrical components
of this marking system, it is recommended such testing only be done by the manufacturer, seller, or repair service. -
Unless otherwise specified, ONLY undertake adjustment, maintenance, and repair of the device when it is turned off and disconnected from its power supply.
2.5 Material Safety Instructions

Installation
3.1 Installation Overview
A complete working system consists of the fiber laser source, the laser arm
with the galvanometer lens, the laser key, a computer (not included) with
engraving software (included), and all applicable connection cables. A support
column and work come included to assist your work. Users can also configure
other additional accessories (such as a rotary axis) to suit their needs.
Use only the hardware, wiring, and power sources that came with or are
compatible with this device.
Installing equipment that your device is not designed to work with can lead to
poor performance, shortened service time, increased maintenance costs,
property damage, and personal injury.
Please note the specific requirements of your system’s installation. Every
customer must understand these notes before installation to execute a proper
setup and achieve safe laser performance. If you have any installation
questions or problems, contact our technicians and customer support, team.
Any auxiliary equipment must be adjusted to the base machine. Queries may be
directed to the dealer or manufacturer of such equipment.
3.2 Location Selection
Prior to assembling your fiber laser marker, select an appropriate location
for its use.
Be sure that it meets all of the requirements discussed in the Safety
Information above. The location should be stable, level, dry, and climate-
controlled to ensure an ambient temperature of 40–95°F and an ambient humidity
under 70%. In particular, the temperature and humidity together should not be
close to the dew point. It is also advisable to use a windowless room or to
use blinds and/or curtains to avoid exposure to the potential additional heat
of direct sunlight.
The location should be free of dust and other airborne pollutants and well
ventilated enough to process any fumes produced by the engraving process in
accordance with all applicable laws and regulations. Depending on the
materials to be processed, this may require the construction of a dedicated
ventilation system. It should be away from children; combustible, flammable,
explosive, or corrosive materials; and sensitive EMI devices. The power cord
should be plugged into a compatible and stable power source via a grounded
3-prong outlet. No other item should be drawing current from the same fuse.
There should be fire-fighting equipment nearby and the local fire department’s
phone number should be clearly displayed.
It is highly recommended to have an extra work table nearby in order to avoid
placing objects on or directly adjacent to the machine, which could become a
fire or laser hazard.
3.3 Electrical Grounding
This device employs a class 4 laser. As discussed in the Safety Information
above, it is extremely high voltage and potentially dangerous, so users must
securely ground it to avoid the buildup of static electricity. Using a
standard 3-prong outlet will provide sufficient grounding. If you do not have
access to a 3-prong outlet, you MUST use the grounding cable and ensure
its proper connection. The far end of the cable should be securely connected
to a metal rod driven at least 8 feet (3 m) deep into soil located at least 5
feet (1.5 m) from the machine. The resistance along the line should be no
greater than 5Ω.
Poor grounding WILL cause equipment failure and create a serious
electrical shock hazard. The manufacturer and/or seller bear(s) no
responsibility and assume(s) no liability for any damage, accidents, or
injuries caused by bad grounding connections.
3.4 Assembly Instructions
Step 1. Install the support column onto the worktable using the four mounting
holes and the provided bolts. Step 2. Install the laser arm onto the support
column using the provided bolts.
Mount the laser arm so that its lens box is positioned over the work area.| Align the four holes on the housing with the holes in its mounting bracket.| Tighten it into place with the included bolts.
Turn the knob on top of the support column to adjust the height of the laser
arm to about 24 cm, as marked on the column’s ruler. This will position the
lens to be nearly in focus with the most common materials.
Step 3. Make all necessary connections between the various components.
Step 4. The positioning bars can be installed onto the worktable and left
in place for all your projects or can be moved around to suit different
projects. Simply place the bars over the holes that will form the outer edge
of the target material and fasten them into place with the provided bolts.
3.5 Control Computer Installation
See the separate engraving software manual for details on the requirements for
the control computer. The control computer should not be placed more than 15
feet (4.5 m) away from the fiber laser marker in order to avoid possible
interference to the signal in its line. Familiarize yourself with your
software’s image design features and laser control
settings before beginning the operation of the laser itself.
Operation
4.1 Operation Overview
Operate this laser marking machine only in accordance with all the
instructions provided in this manual. Failure to follow the proper guidelines
detailed here can result in property damage and personal injury.
This section will address only some of the options and features provided by
the operation software. Before beginning to use the machine, make sure that
you have read this entire manual (particularly the Safety Information above),
the separate software manual, and any and all warnings provided on the machine
itself.
4.2 General Operation Instructions
Step 1. Load or create a design in EZCad.
Step 2. Put on your protective eyewear. Ensure that anyone else who might
be exposed to direct or reflected laser beams is also wearing protective
eyewear as described in §2.4.
Step 3. Turn on the laser marker by following these steps:
- Insert your key and turn it
- Press the Scan Head button
- Press the Fiber Laser button
Turning the laser key and pressing the buttons out of order may cause
electrical hazards as the separate power supplies are grounded in order. Do
not activate everything quickly. Give each power supply time to come on line,
activating its fans. 3 seconds is sufficient.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, once the engraver is on, try to touch
its components with only one hand at a time.
Step 4. If you previously disconnected the control computer, reconnect it
via the USB cable now. If your computer is already connected and EZCad is
already running, restart it now to establish a connection between the computer
and the laser’s control board.
Step 5. Customize your contrast and engraving depth by adjusting the
engraving parameters in EZCad.
To darken an image, use a higher frequency setting. To lighten it, use a lower
one. To increase engraving depth, increase the amount of energy per unit area
by reducing the speed parameter or increasing the laser’s power or the number
of loops. Engraving too deep, however, reduces image quality, especially for
coated materials. Again, constantly using settings over 80% will shorten the
expected service life of your laser.
Resolution should usually be set to 500 dots per inch. Reducing your image
resolution can be helpful in some cases, reducing flaming and increasing the
energy of the pulse in a way that improves the quality of the resultant image
in some materials such as plastics.
Step 6. Activate the laser guidance system by pressing Red or hitting F1
in EZCad. The design should be displayed in red light on the worktable,
showing where the laser will fire.
Step 7. Place an expendable piece of the material to be engraved in the
location shown by the laser guidance. Do not use a different target as the
galvanometer lens automatically focuses at different heights for different
materials.
Be careful that no part of your body is near the worktable or laser path,
press Mark or hit F2 in EZCad to fire the test laser. Alternatively, you can
activate the laser by using the foot pad.
Step 8. The laser is invisible but will create a buzzing noise and sparks
and begin engraving when it is correctly focused on your test material. If no
sparks are emitted, the laser is out of focus. Continue to fire it while
adjusting the up or down using its height adjustment knob. Small, consistent
sparks will be emitted at the marking point when the beam is correctly in
focus. Take a note of the correct height for future reference.
Step 9. Replace the test material with the actual material. Use the foot
pad or press Mark or hit F2 in EZCad to engrave your pattern. Again, do not
stare at the laser in operation even with protective eyewear. Watch for
possible issues like sparks or fires, however, and be prepared to quickly
extinguish a fire if necessary.
Step 10. Examine the quality of your first run and adjust the laser
parameters in EZCad as necessary to create your desired effect. The foot pedal
is particularly useful for the continuous or repeated operation of the laser
once you’ve settled on your design and its ideal parameter settings. You can
also achieve more control of the marking process by reducing the laser’s speed
and using the foot pad.
Step 11. When you have finished engraving your design, close EZCad and
then turn off the laser marking machine by following these steps:
- Press the Fiber Laser button
- Press the Scan Head button
- Turn your key & remove it
Step 12. Cover the galvanometer lens and fully clean the work. For best results, disconnect your fiber marking machine from its power supply between uses. Unplug it or turn off its intermediary surge protector.
4.3 Instructions for Specific Materials
When engraving a new material, it can be helpful to engrave a test matrix of
small boxes produced with various speed, power, and frequency settings to home
in on the exact effect that you are looking for. To speed up the process, here
are some general guidelines for commonly engraved materials. Again, however,
these are only guidelines for your convenience and it is the responsibility of
the user to consult material safety data sheets and other sources to ensure
the safety of working with various materials and setups. Some of the materials
listed will require additional workspace and personal protective equipment in
addition to this engraver:
Metals
When engraving metals, generally use high power, a low frequency, and low to
medium speed settings. To avoid using your marker at greater than 80% power
for extended periods, you can also get similar effects by reducing the power
somewhat while also increasing the number of passes or decreasing the
engraving speed. Be mindful that some metals will produce conducting,
reflective, and/or toxic dust. Softer metals naturally produce more dust
during engraving, while harder metals can require higher power settings that
also produce more dust. In addition to the risk to the user’s skin and eyes,
there may be enough dust produced (especially for repetitive industrial
applications) that a full ventilation system is required to address the
problem. Similarly, operators and others in the work area may need to use
breathing PPE such as masks and respirators.
Aluminum: Bare aluminum requires a somewhat higher frequency than other
metals and will never produce a strong black mark similar to those created by
engraving steel. When darker marking is required, consider employing
anodization or producing a deep engraving that can be darkened by using black
epoxy or other filler. Anodized aluminum requires a little more speed but a
very low frequency.
Powder Coated Metals: Metals with a powder coating usually require a very
high frequency and, for best results, at least 3 passes to remove the coating
and polish the bare lower layer.
Precious Metals: Gold and similarly soft metals should be engraved with
less power but a moderate speed. Silver and other semidurable metals are best
engraved at slightly higher power and slightly slower speed, but still not at
the same power and speed as steel or aluminum.
Plastics
When engraving plastics, generally use low power and high-speed settings.
Marking and engraving with too much power or at too low a speed can
concentrate too much energy at the point of contact, causing the plastic to
melt. Among other problems, this may produce, poor engraving quality, noxious
fumes, and even fires.
Stone
When engraving various kinds of stone, generally use moderate power and speed
at low frequency. As with ceramics and metals, be mindful of the dust created
(especially for repetitive industrial applications) and take similar measures
to ensure the safety of users and others in the work area.
