4. Opstelinstruksies

Proper setup is crucial for the safe and effective operation of your laser engraver. Follow these general steps:

  1. Uitpak: Verwyder die masjien en alle toebehore versigtig uit die verpakking. Inspekteer vir enige versendingskade.
  2. Plasing: Place the engraver on a stable, level surface in a well-ventilated area, away from flammable materials. Ensure sufficient space around the machine for access and ventilation.
  3. Waterverkoelingstelsel: Connect the provided water pump or chiller to the laser tube's inlet and outlet ports. Fill the reservoir with distilled water. Ensure water flows freely through the system before powering on the laser.
  4. Uitlaatstelsel: Connect the exhaust fan and ducting to the machine's exhaust port. Route the ducting to an outdoor vent or a suitable air filtration system to safely remove smoke and fumes.
  5. Kragverbinding: Connect the power cable to the machine and then to a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the power supply matches the machine's requirements.
  6. Sagteware installasie: Install the recommended laser control software (e.g., LightBurn, RDWorks) on your computer. Connect the engraver to your computer via USB or Ethernet.
  7. Initial Alignment (if necessary): Refer to the detailed software manual for initial laser path alignment procedures if required.

5. Bedryfsinstruksies

Once the machine is set up, follow these steps for typical operation:

  1. Krag aan: Turn on the main power switch on the machine. Ensure the water cooling system is running.
  2. Materiaal plasing: Place your material on the workbed. Use the appropriate workbed (honeycomb for cutting, blade for engraving) for your task.
  3. Outofokus: Utilize the built-in autofocus function to set the correct focal distance for your material. This is typically done by pressing a dedicated button on the control panel or through the software.
  4. Sagteware voorbereiding: Open your design software, import or create your design. Set laser parameters (power, speed, frequency) according to the material type and desired effect.
