    2. Safety Information 2.1 Disclaimer Your engraver may differ somewhat from those shown in this manual due to options, updates, etc. Please contact us if your engraving machine came with an outdated manual or if you have any other questions. 2.2 General Safety Instructions •...
  • Page 13: Laser Safety

    2.3 Laser Safety Instructions When used as instructed, this machine comprises a Class 1 laser system safe for users and bystanders. However the invisible engraving laser, the laser tube, and its electrical connections remain EXTREMELY dangerous. Used or modified without care, they can cause serious property damage and personal injury including but not limited to the following: •...
  • Page 14: Electrical Safety

    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.
  • Page 15 This machine can be safely used with the following materials: Plastics • Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) • Nylon (Polyamide, PA, etc.) • Polyethylene (PE) • High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE, PEHD, etc.) • Biaxially-Oriented Polyethylene Terephthalate (BoPET, Mylar, Polyester, etc.) • Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol (PETG, PET-G, etc.) •...

    3. Installation 3.1 Installation Overview A complete working system consists of the laser engraving cabinet, its vent, a water tank with a pump, all applicable connection cables, and the laser and access keys. The cabinet can use designs provided by the enclosed engraving software by direct or internet connection with your computer;...

    Step 2. If you have not already done so, finish removing the crate from around your engraver. Each foot is attached to the base of the crate with a hex screw. Use a 7.8 mm hex wrench to remove them. Rotate the feet up, unlock the wheels, and roll the machine into place.
  • Page 18: Water Cooling System

    3.5 Water Cooling Installation The provided water pump is essential to your engraver's performance and longevity. When this laser works without a properly maintained cooling system, its glass tube WILL explode from excess heat. NEVER touch or adjust your engraver's water supply while the pump is connected to power. To install your pump, fill a dedicated tank with at least 2 gallons (7.5 L) of distilled water.
  • Page 19: Exhaust System

    3.6 Exhaust System Install the provided exhaust pipe directly onto the fan. The pipe can be expanded to a full length of about 5 feet (1.5 m). Connecting hole The other end should be connected to a dedicated purifier or (if the fumes are not hazardous and meet local and national air safety standards) placed out a window.
  • Page 20: Initial Testing

    3.9 Initial Testing Emergency Shutoff Because of the risk of fire and other hazards during engraving, this engraver includes a large and easy-to-reach emergency stop button near the control panel. Press it down to stop the laser tube instantly. When your engraver arrives, its e-stop is already pressed and must be pulled up to allow the laser to function. You should test that it works properly before conducting ANY other work with your machine.
  • Page 21: Security

    Water Shutoff Because of the danger posed by an uncooled laser tube, this engraver also shuts off the laser automatically when the water cooling system malfunctions. After ensuring that the emergency stop button and cover protection both work, you should also test that the water shutoff works properly before conducting any other work on your machine.
  • Page 22: Operation

    4. 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.
  • Page 23: Instructions For Specific Materials

    Power Current (mA) The threshold for the lowest setting is 10%. The laser will not fire at any setting lower than this. It is NOT recommended to use the laser tube at full capacity, especially for extended periods. The recommended maximum power setting is 70%, as prolonged use above that amount will shorten your laser's service life.
  • Page 24 Ceramics When engraving on ceramics, generally use moderate to high power. Using more loops rather than higher power and lower speed can help avoid cracking the material during work. Be mindful of the health risk posed by dust generated from ceramic engraving, especially for repetitive industrial applications. Depending on the material and the amount of work, a fan or even full ventilation system may be required to address the problem.

Speed 25 mm/s 14 mm/s 6 mm/s 5 mm/s 4 mm/s 1 mm/s 100 W Power Rubber The various compositions and densities of rubber cause slightly varying engraving depth. Testing various settings on sample pieces of your specific rubber is highly recommended for best results.
  • Page 26: Maintenance

    5. Maintenance 5.1 Maintenance Overview The use of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous laser radiation exposure. Before any cleaning or maintenance work, always switch off the device and disconnect it from its power supply. Always keep the system clean, as flammable debris in the working and exhaust areas constitutes a fire hazard. ONLY allow trained and skilled professionals to modify or disassemble this device.

    If the water remains visibly clean at all times, it is still recommended that you clean the water tank about once a month as a precaution, changing the water as you do so. If you use an industrial water chiller instead of the provided pump, follow its separate instructions for maintenance but similarly ensure that the water used remains cool, clean, and pure.
  • Page 28 Remove the pressurized air hose and laser guide connections. Once positioned over your clean lens-cleaning tissue, remove the lens from the lens holder by carefully turning the lens holder and letting the lens and its O-ring drop onto the cleaning cloth. Examine the O-ring and, if necessary, clean it with a cotton bud and a lens-cleaning tissue or cloth.
  • Page 29: Mirrors

    5.3.4 Cleaning the Mirrors The mirrors should be similarly cleaned if there is any debris or haze on their surface to improve performance and avoid permanent damage. The 1st mirror is located in the back left of the machine beyond the far end of the Y axis. The end of the laser tube closest to this mirror is itself a semitransparent mirror that should be checked at the same time.
  • Page 30: Laser Tube

    5.4.1 Laser Tube Alignment To test the alignment of the laser tube with the 1st mirror, cut out a piece of tape and place it on the mirror's frame. DO NOT place the tape directly onto the mirror. Turn on the machine and set the power level to 15% or lower. Press PULSE to manually fire the laser.
  • Page 31: First Mirror

    5.4.2 1st Mirror Alignment After ensuring the laser is well aligned between the laser tube and 1st mirror, check the alignment between the 1st and 2nd mirrors. First, use the direction arrows on the control panel to send the 2nd mirror to the back of the bed along the Y axis.
  • Page 32: Second Mirror

    5.4.3 2nd Mirror Alignment After ensuring the laser is well aligned between the 1st and 2nd mirrors, check the alignment between the 2nd and 3rd mirrors. Repeat the steps and adjustments above, taking care to use the tape on the mirror's frame and not its surface. 5.4.4 3rd Mirror Alignment After ensuring the laser is well aligned between the 2nd and 3rd mirrors, check the alignment between the 3rd mirror and the workbed.
  • Page 33: Parts Replacement

    5.6 Parts Replacement The engraver should not be modified or disassembled by anyone except trained and skilled professionals, but some consumable parts may require replacement after prolonged use. Be sure only to use identical or compatible replacement parts with this engraver. Contact your vendor or our technicians if you have any questions about fitment. Using incompatible components is highly dangerous and waives all the manufacturer's liability for any damage or injury caused.
