4.2.2 Preparing Material

1. Open the engraver's cover.
2. Place a sample piece of your material on the workbed.
The default location of the laser head's zero position is at the top right corner of the workbed.
This can be changed by moving either your design or the engraver's origin position using the
control panel or your engraving software. For instructions on material safety, see
Safety Instructions on Page 6.
The honeycomb bed is recommended for most applications. But if needed, the workbed can
be raised or lowered using the control panel to accommodate different thicknesses of various
materials. Alternatively, the honeycomb bed can be removed to expose the aluminum knife bed
and provide a little more space for thicker projects.
• DO NOT insert anything through the pass-through doors other than
the material once the laser is active. Pay special attention to the fumes
and dust that may be released through these doors. Be sure that your
ventilation system is strong enough to pull in all of the byproducts or wear
the necessary PPE to ensure the health of users and passersby.
• For heavier pieces of material, be careful to distribute its weight as evenly as
possible across reinforced supports. For larger pieces of material, you may
open the front and back pass-through doors, and/or the side access doors.
3. Close the engraver's cover.
Exercise caution with your hands when closing the cover.
