Preface Thank you for buying our product. Our CFL-Q2012K is a professional and high-tech machine combined with op- tical, mechanical and electrical sections. We specially ed- ited this manual, in order for you to learn the operation and maintenance of the machine. We also took many real object photos in this manual to show you the installation, adjustment and operation process.
Safety Notice •The users should read the operation manual carefully prior to operating the machine and must obey the operating regulations strictly. • The machine uses IV LASER (strong laser radiation)which type of laser radiation might make following accidents: 1. Easy to burn combustible materials. 2.

Alignment Standards of Optical Path During common use, some deviation may appear with the optical path, resulting in no laser or light path. If so, then please refer to the following method to adjust the optical path: Step 1: First to ensure laser beam from laser tube to the center of the first mirror (#1). Step 2: Add a piece of tape onto the fixture of the mirror in order to mark where the beam is pulsing, press pulse and adjust the mirror accordingly to the center of the beam (with special attention: In order to pre- vent the laser radiation wounding, with a piece of cardboard first to test the approximate location of the...

Step 3: Repeat step 2 for the third mirror Step 4: If the two spots are not superposition, adjust the screws on the back of the 1#mirror to make the laser fire on the same position as the first spot. Step 5: Repeat the second to the fourth steps until the two spots overlap completely.
Page 23
Step 6: Affix multi-storey double sticky tape paper on the 3# reflector ,move laser head to the nearest position from 2# mirror, press pulse(choose suitable power),get a spot on the paper. Step 7: Move away the laser head to the position farthest from the 2# mirror, press pulse(first to detect the approximate location of laser with a piece of cardboard to prevent wounding),get another spot.
Page 24
Step 8: If the two spots are not superposition, adjust the screws on the back of the 2# mirror to make the laser fire on the same position as the first spot. Step 9: Repeat the sixth to eighth steps until the two spots overlap completely. Moreover, the spots should be in the center of the hole.

Focus the laser Focusing the laser must be re-done every time a new thickness material is placed on the working platform. The laser uses highly concentrated energy to do its job. Therefore focusing is very important. The distance from the work piece to the laser head normally won’t exceed 20mm. To focus the laser, you have to keep in mind one rule;...
Important: Always be careful when focusing thick material, not to allow material to collide with the lens housing. This can cause serious damage to the laser machine. Lens Replacement Lenses are one of the few parts of a laser machine that need regular maintenance, primarily regular clean- ing.
problem for new users of any laser machine. Make sure to clean it often, especially if cutting on a regular basis. Lenses that are kept clean last longer. Rotary Attachment Device Installation: The CFL-Q2012K has the option of installing a rotary Attachment. Please consult the Anexo Rotary Tool Installation guide for further information on how to install.
Mirror #3 (in the laser head): This mirror is located directly above the focal lens. This mirror should be cleaned at least once a month. If there is any incident of fire or large issue of smoke/fumes, then it is advised to check the mirror and clean it. It is possible to clean the mirror in its mounting bracket, but highly advised to remove the mirror from posi- tion and thoroughly clean it.

1) Remove the grease fitting 2) Apply the grease to your finger 3) Push the grease into the little hole 4) push more grease into the little hole, 5) go to step #2 6) Put the grease fitting back on. Rubber belts: The rubber belts should be checked for appropriate tension at least every six months.

Storage of the laser: Store the laser in a clean, dry, warm location with no vibrations.
Page 31
Use a dehumidifier: Humidity can cause the metal parts of the laser machine to rust. All metal is expected to rust. One unex- pected metal surface is the laser mirrors. It is best to try to control the humidity level in the laser work area. Clean the mirrors and check for this oxidation as a possible problem.
