More operations

Manual focus setting
Turn the knob to adjust the height of the laser module. When the red and blue light spots overlap, the focus is successfully set.

When the bottom of the laser module reaches the highest point, stop turning the knob up.

Use the slatted panel
To cut a material, you are advised to use the slatted panel. It can reduce the areas burned during material processing and protect the baseplate.

Use the L-shaped positioning piece
During batch processing, the L-shaped positioning piece can help you place a material in the same position every time.

Use xTool F1 with the rotary attachment

No rotary attachment is included in the pack.
Strictly follow the safety instructions to use xTool F1 with the rotary attachment. Set up a safety-controlled area under the guidance of the Laser Safety Officer (LSO), and take sufficient personal protective measures against laser risks.

There are three marking lines on the base of xTool F1. Depending on the working mode and level setting of your rotary attachment, align its front bottom edge to the corresponding marking line.

Maintenance

Disconnect power before maintaining the product.

• If laser power attenuation occurs, for example, engraved patterns are shallow or materials can't be cut as expected, the field lens may get dirty. Clean it with the lint-free cloth moistened with alcohol.
  

• If you can't move the protective enclosure up and down smoothly, apply grease to the edges of the two sides.
  

• If smoke runs out of the protective enclosure, the fan and smoke outlet may be blocked due to dust. Clean them to ensure proper smoke exhausting.
  To avoid dust falling into the circuit board, slightly tilt the machine.
