Also other components inside the machine may be damaged if the aforementioned conditions are given. To improve laser safety an optional “Laser Protection Cover” is available on request. 8026 | V5.0_EN (11/2015) Trotec Laser GmbH Technical changes reserved Page 13 of 62...
Safety Precautions when Operating the Device In your Speedy 400 flexx, a closed safety system is integrated which immediately switches off the power to the laser tube when the protection cover is opened. Consequently an incomplete engraving can occur if the cover is opened during operation.
Therefore, follow the information on the labels. If labels are lost or damaged, they must be replaced immediately. Visible from outside P = xxx W 8026 | V5.0_EN (11/2015) Trotec Laser GmbH Technical changes reserved Page 15 of 62...
3 BEFORE OPERATION You receive your Speedy 400 flexx packed in a wooden crate, which contains the laser and additional accessories. A suitable fork-lift is required to unload from the courier vehicle and lift the machine off its pallet. A powered screwdriver with cross-head bit is recommended for dismantling the wooden crate.
Try to place a working table or a place to put things next to it. This shall avoid, that the machine is misused as a table. 8026 | V5.0_EN (11/2015) Trotec Laser GmbH Technical changes reserved Page 19 of 62...

Test the rubber first, to find out the correct speed setting. The Trotec JobControl software simplifies the creation of a stamp significantly. Mirroring as well as converting is performed automatically and a cone-shaped shoulder is generated around each letter. Due to the wider base the letters are stabilized during stamping and therefore the imprint becomes clearer.
Clean the cover of the laser tube. You can clean the acylic cover with a cotton cloth. Do not use paper towels as they could scratch the acrylic. 8026 | V5.0_EN (11/2015) Trotec Laser GmbH Technical changes reserved Page 46 of 62...
