Main Parts

A. Cover—The cover provides access to the main bay for placing and retrieving materials, as well as fi xing the laser
path alignment and other maintenance. Power to the laser is automatically cut when the cover is opened.
B. Viewing Window—The polycarbonate window is shielded to protect you and others from the laser and its
refl ection, allowing monitoring of the engraving process. However, you should never stare continuously at the
laser during operation, even through the window.
C. Y-Axis Rail—The Y-axis rail supports the movement of the X-axis rail up and down the workbed.
D. X-Axis Rail—The X-axis rail holds the 2nd mirror and supports the movement of the laser head left and right
across the workbed.
E. Laser Head—The laser head holds the 3rd mirror, the focus lens, the red dot guidance, and the air assist outlet.
F. Workbed—The workbed can be adjusted in height to fi t thinner and thicker materials, as well as adjusted between
the aluminum and honeycomb platforms. This is also where the accessories pack is located when the engraver
fi rst arrives.
G. Control Panel—The control panel off ers hands-on control of the engraving process, including manual movement
of the laser head and fi ring of the laser.
H. Emergency Stop—This button immediately cuts all power to the laser tube in the event of an emergency.
I. Pass-Through Doors—These doors open to allow larger pieces of material to be fed through the workbed.
Additional care must be taken to avoid seeing or suff ering exposure to the laser beam and its refl ection.
J. Front Access Door—This door provides access to the waste hopper for easy cleanup after each project.
K. Caster Wheels—The front wheels include locks to hold the engraver in place.
L. Connection Inputs—This panel includes the machine's ports for its USB, computer, and Ethernet connections.
M. Right Access Door—This door provides access to the mainboard, motor drivers, and power supplies.
N. Warnings—This notice supplements the Safety Information chapter of this manual. Read it carefully before
using the machine.
O. Power Sockets—These sockets connect to your main power supply, ground the machine, and provide an additional
socket for your pump if needed. ONLY use the three-prong outlet marked PUMP for your water pump. DO NOT
plug your water chiller into it. It is highly recommended, however, to use an industrial water chiller considering
the high power of the laser.
This area also includes the intake that provides the pressurized air for the machine's air assist. Periodically check
its fi lter to keep it clear of any obstruction.
P. Upper Rear Access Door—This door opens to the laser bay, holding the laser tube and its connections.
