With your finger at the bottom of the nose cone, loosen the cutter knob set screw and lower the cutter
so that the cutting tip extends below the bottom of the nose cone by approximately 1/4 inch (6 mm).
Then tighten the cutter knob set screw.
Turn the Controller's power switch on. Set up the job you would like to engrave in the Vision Software
(for an example job, please refer to the following section). Place the material on the t-slot table. In this
type of engraving, the Proximity Sensor is used and will sense when the cutter tip contacts the material,
then adjust the Z-Axis height and cutting pressure automatically. Also, the spindle does not need to
rotate. The Vision software material selection (shown in the next section) will preset the engraver to turn
the spindle rotation off and turn the proximity sensor on.
