Air Assist Cone
The cone attaches to the base of the Focus Carriage and will force air directly onto the surface of your material. It
also helps to protect the lens from contamination.
CAUTION:
Do not install the cone unless you plan on using Air Assist and never use the Air Assist Cone
without proper airflow. Leaving the cone attached to the cone base and running the laser system without
airflow will cause smoke from laser processing to be drawn up into the cone and rapidly damage the focus
lens.
Installation
1. Remove (if present) the plug screw with a flat bladed screwdriver.
2. Using the provided 3/16 nut driver, attach the needle valve to the port from which you removed the plug.
Be careful not to cross-thread the small fitting when installing and do not over tighten it (the needle valve
will be left permanently installed on the carriage from this point forward).
