2. Read Sections 2 and 3, "SAFETY" and "DO'S AND DON'Ts"
3. Follow the setup guidelines detailed below.
JOB SETUP
1. Measure the length and width of your material piece to be cut or engraved. Load your material. The
home position of the engraving field is at the upper left corner of the engraving table. Place the
material to be engraved on the engraving table in the upper left hand corner, pressed firmly against
the metal stops along the top and left edges.
2. Focus on your material
Manual Focus: A metal focus gauge is provided to determine the correct distance from the work
piece to the focus lens. The focus gauge is included in the accessory kit. Place the focus gauge on
the lens carriage. Pressing the "FOCUS" key and then turning the jog/shuttle knob raises or
lowers the table to move your work piece closer to, or further from, the fixed focus lens. The
work piece should be raised just to the point where the gauge touches the material. Remove the
gauge when you are done focusing. If the item has a taper, pick an intermediate point between
the highest and lowest points being engraved. Press ENTER when you are done focusing. That
will restore the control knob to the menu.
