Page 4: Prolog
PROLOG Thank you for purchasing the laser-engraving machine from Sign-in-Global.us. This equipment is a high-tech product integrating light, machine and electricity, with strong professionalism and high technological content. In order to let our users operate and maintain the equipment better, we write this manual. We add many real pictures of this manual so you can understand easily. - Page 5 The direct shooting of laser radiation will do harm to human body. Therefore, flying and explosive materials should not be stacked on the workbench and it's surrounding and fire-fighting equipment must be equipped. Please maintain good ventilation when the machine is working. >...
- Page 6 DANGER: High Voltage This warning indicates that precautions should be taken when touching or handling any electrical components of the machine. Please make sure to disconnect the laser from all power sources prior to opening these cabinets or handling the internal electrical components.

The electrical cord is found in the accessory package with your machine. The power cord for the laser plugs into the power receptacle located on the left side of the machine in the rear corner. The air pump power cord and chiller power cord can be plugged into the white socket... - Page 17 F3-3 3) Open the injection port and add water. For best results, use deionized water. Pour slowly and do not fill the chiller completely. There should be about 3-6 inches (80-150mm) between the opening and the top of the water in the machine.

F3-7 2) Connect the exhaust fan plug to power (considering voltage fluctuations in different areas. We strongly recommend that power exhausting fans individually instead of plug on the machine). And you can test and confirm the fan works normally. 3.5 Ground Wire Installation The laser tube used in this laser machine is a Class IV laser, and the Class IV laser. -
Page 21: Connect The Machine With Computer
F3-8 F3-9 Please note: The machine must be grounded. Poor grounding will lead to a high failure rate of the equipment and may cause other safety accidents at the same time! ! ! The company does not assume any responsibility or obligation to the failures or accidents caused by no grounding! ! ! 3.6 Connect The Machine With Computer 1) Firstly connect the machine plug to the power,... -

Page 23: Adjust The Focal Length
F3-11 Lens is 0.79” (20mm) in diameter, and has a focal length of 2.5” (63.5mm). Note: The lens should be checked often for cleanliness and can be changed for lenses of different purpose. 3.7.2 Adjust the focal length Manual Focus: Focusing the lens is a very important part of running this laser machine. -
Page 24: Chapter 4. Laser Beam Path Adjustment
1. If you lost your focal guide by accident, the reference focal guide width of this machine is 6.5 mm. 2. Always be careful when focusing your lens with thick material, do not allow the material to collide with the lens housing. This can cause SERIOUS DAMAGE to the laser machine. - Page 25 Please connect all the power cord and power on and power on the laser machine. At this time, the machine starts to reset and returns to the last positioning point, which indicates that the machine is operating normally. Turn on the laser switch and you can start to adjust the light path. 1) Put the dimming paper (paper tape) on front of the first lens A (#1).
- Page 26 the rail position. Click the "Pulse" button to see the location of the laser spot. As shows in Picture F4-3. Then press the arrow keys on the control panel and move X rail to the lower left corner, the same press "Pulse" button and there will be the other laser spot. As shows in Picture F4-5.
- Page 27 F4-5 3) Adjustment of optical path C (#3). Put the lens dimming paper onto front of the second mirror frame C (#3). Repeat pulsing in the farthest point to the nearest point of C (#3). As shows in F4-6 & F4-7. (First, move the laser head to the left of the X-axis, put the test paper in front of the hole of the laser head, press "pulse"...
- Page 28 F4-6 F4-7 4) The optical path adjustment between the third reflective lens and the focusing lens. Put the dimmer paper into the below of laser head, then press the “Pulse” button, check if the spot hit the middle of dimming paper. If it happened to be in the middle of the below of laser head, the light path is positive.
- Page 29 Only raise or lower the laser tube. 2. Adjust inside and outside deviation: The laser tube can only be adjusted inward or outward. 3. In this example, the laser tube (referred to here as the low-pressure end of the laser tube) must be lowered, and then all readjusted from the first step; Note: The above work must be performed by professionally trained personnel.

Page 30: Chapter 5. Equipment Maintenance
CHAPTER 5. EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE Storage of the Laser: Keep the laser machine in a clean, dry and warm location with no vibration. Make sure there is NO MATERIAL (S) left on the worktable when the machine is not in use. Machine Memory: There should always be little to no files stored on your machine’s memory. -
Page 31: Focal Lens Cleaning
5.2 Focal Lens Cleaning This is the lens that is used to focus the laser beam and it should be cleaned at least once per week. It is NOT possible to clean the lens while it is mounted in the focal lens tube. -
Page 32: Linear Rails & Bearings
your gantry or worm rods is discolored, clumping or filled with debris, it must be cleaned. 5.4 Linear Rails & Bearings The linear rails are the guiding rails along the left and right sides and across the gantry. These rails should be kept clean and without rust and have alight coating of white lithium grease. -
Page 33: Clean And Install Laser Tube
5.8 Clean And Install Laser Tube Generally, the glass turns yellow because of oil stains in the air and alkali in water vapor, such as scale. In addition, the laser tube will have a burning smell after use, and the surface color of the laser tube will turn brown. This is because static electricity will be generated in high-voltage environment, and static electricity will produce adsorption phenomenon. - Page 34 Make absolutely sure that the machine is not connected to the power source.

A. Remove the top portion of each (1) laser tube mount with an Allen wrench. Do not make any adjustments to the other components of the laser tube mounts. B. Carefully remove the (2) laser tube from the packaging. C. Carefully place the (2) laser tube in the laser tube mounts. Once in place, rotate the laser tube so that the (3) water outlet tube is pointed straight up. - Page 37 1. Is the emergency stop button pressed? 2. Is the key in the machine and turned into the on position? 3. Is the cord plugged into the machine and electrical outlet? Machine is turning on but Not Firing: The laser has multiple protection modes built in to prevent possible injuries or damage to the machine.

Page 40: Chapter 8. Common Problems And Solutions
Chapter 8. Common Problems and Solutions 1. Problem: No reset, chaotic engraving, misplacement after booting. Reason: The ground wire is not connected or the ground wire is not connected well. Solution: Connect the ground wire as required. 2. Problem: The engraving depth is uneven. Reason: The water circulation system does not work, and the light path is not adjusted properly. - Page 41 There are commonly two types of acrylic. Casted acrylic produces a frosted-look engraving. Extruded Acrylic (the cheaper of the two) is best for cutting and produces a clear engraving.
