1. Introduction
1.1 General Information
This manual is the designated user guide for the installation, setup, safe operation, and maintenance of your fibre laser
marking machine. It is divided into six chapters covering general information, safety instructions, installation steps,
operation instructions, maintenance instructions, and contact information.
All personnel involved in the installation, setup, operation, maintenance, and repair of this machine should read and
understand this manual, particularly its safety instructions. Substandard performance and longevity, property damage,
and personal injury may result from not knowing and following these instructions.
Your fibre laser marker works by emitting a powerful laser beam from its fibre laser source, sending that beam through
a fibre optic cable, focusing its power through the galvanometer lens, and using this focused light to etch designs into
certain substrates.
This fiber laser marking machine uses a nanoscale fibre laser source. Its single-mode output, good heat dissipation,
high efficiency, and compact structure make it ideal for high-precision laser marking. With typical use, this device has
an average lifespan around 100,000 working hours. However, constantly running your laser above 80% of its maximum
rated power can significantly shorten its service life. It is recommended to use settings from 10–75% of the maximum
rated power to enjoy optimal performance and longevity.
Note that this is a high-voltage device and, as a safety precaution, it is recommended to only touch its components with one
hand at a time during use.
Note also that this device does not have a protective housing. It is thus recommended to use a special room or to raise
protective screens around the work area. The active laser is invisible to the human eye and anyone in or near the working
area MUST use special protective eyewear when the laser is in use to avoid potentially permanent injury.
