Checking

1. Make sure the power supply is ok.
2. Ensure proper ventilation.
Make sure that any back-up ventilation systems are in place and running smoothly.
NEVER operate the laser if the fan and pipes are not working to purify or
remove the fumes produced by the target material. Research materials
before use and never operate the laser on any (such as PVC, teflon, and
other halogen-containing substances) that can produce corrosive, hazardous,
or even deadly fumes.
3. Adjust the workbed if necessary.
Honeycomb Bed
For lightweight materials requiring close support: wood, fabric, leather, thin veneers
Aluminum Knife Bed
For heavy or rigid materials that are self-supporting and might damage the honeycomb bed
and heat-sensitive materials (for example, acrylic, plastic) needing high airflow to avoid surface
damage.
The honeycomb bed can be removed to expose the aluminum knife bed and provide a little
more space for thicker projects.
The bed can be raised or lowered using the manual adjustment knob to accommodate different
thicknesses of various materials.
