2. Consignes de sécurité

WARNING: Laser radiation can cause eye injury and skin burns. Always wear appropriate laser safety goggles and ensure the protective cover is installed during operation. Never look directly into the laser beam.

• N'utilisez pas la machine sans surveillance.
• Ensure proper ventilation in the work area to dissipate fumes.
• Keep children under 14 years old away from the product. Children over 14 require adult supervision.
• Avoid strong impacts on the machine.
• Do not use the laser directly on specular reflection objects, as this may cause injury or damage the laser.
• Always place an A4 steel pad or similar protective material under the workpiece to protect your table from laser damage.

4. Installation

Suivez ces étapes pour assembler et préparer votre graveur laser SCULPFUN S10 pour sa première utilisation :

1. Assemblage du cadre : Assemble the aluminum frame components according to the included pictorial instructions. Ensure all screws are tightened securely.
2. Installation du module laser : Carefully attach the 10W laser module to the X-axis gantry. Connect the necessary cables.
3. Air Assist Setup: Connect the air assist tube to the laser module's nozzle. If using an external air compressor (sold separately), connect it to the air assist tube.
4. Alimentation et connexion USB : Connect the power adapter to the machine and a power outlet. Connect the USB cable from the machine to your computer.
5. Installation du logiciel : Install compatible laser engraving software such as LaserGRBL (for Windows) or LightBurn (for Windows and MAC). Refer to the software's documentation for detailed installation and setup.
6. Réglage de la mise au point : Adjust the laser focus according to the instructions in your software or the laser module's specific guide. Proper focus is crucial for optimal engraving and cutting results.

5. Fonctionnement

Operating the SCULPFUN S10 involves preparing your design, setting parameters, and initiating the engraving or cutting process.

5.1. Préparation du matériel

• Place the material securely on the working area. Use clampsi nécessaire pour empêcher tout mouvement.
• Ensure the A4 steel pad is positioned underneath the material to protect the surface below.
• Verify the laser focus is correctly set for the material thickness.

5.2. Fonctionnement du logiciel

1. Open your chosen laser software (e.g., LightBurn, LaserGRBL).
2. Importez ou créez votre design.
3. Configure laser parameters (power, speed, passes) based on the material type and desired outcome. Refer to the software's material settings guide for recommended values.
4. Préview the job to ensure correct placement and scale.
5. Lancer le processus de gravure/découpe. Surveiller attentivement la machine pendant son fonctionnement.

5.3. Key Features for Operation

• High Density 10W Laser Power: The S10's 10W laser provides strong cutting penetration and engraving capabilities, allowing it to cut high-density woods like MDF and walnut more easily.
• Industrial-grade Engraving Accuracy: Equipped with a high-precision anti-shake linear X-axis slide rail, the S10 minimizes wave line marks, resulting in more accurate engravings.
• Powerful High-Speed Air Assist: The advanced fluid mechanics design of the air assist nozzle can spray high-speed airflow up to 14.5m/s, significantly improving cutting efficiency and quality when connected to a compatible air compressor (30L/min 0.03Mpa recommended, purchased separately).

6. Entretien

Un entretien régulier garantit la longévité et les performances optimales de votre graveur laser.

• Nettoyer la lentille laser : Periodically clean the laser lens with a soft, lint-free cloth and lens cleaning solution to maintain beam clarity and power.
• Lubrifier les pièces mobiles : Apply a small amount of lubricant to the linear slide rails and belts as recommended in the detailed product manual to ensure smooth movement.
• Vérifiez les connexions desserrées : Inspectez régulièrement toutes les connexions électriques et mécaniques pour vous assurer qu'elles sont bien fixées.
• Éliminer les débris : Remove any accumulated dust, debris, or material scraps from the machine's working area and internal components.
