Attach the air assist pump and exhaust fan to their respective ports.
Connect the machine to a power source using the provided power cable.
Connect the machine to your computer via USB, Ethernet, or use a USB flash drive for offline operation.

4.3 Installation du logiciel

Install the recommended laser control software (e.g., LightBurn) on your computer.
Follow the software's instructions for driver installation and machine configuration.

5. Mode d'emploi

5.1 Préparation à la gravure/découpe

Place your material on the appropriate workbed (honeycomb for small items, blade for larger items).
Use the motorized workbed controls to adjust the material height for optimal laser focus.
Ensure the material is flat and secured to prevent movement during operation.

5.2 Fonctionnement du logiciel

Import or create your design in the laser software.
Set the appropriate laser power, speed, and other parameters based on your material and desired effect. Refer to material testing guides for starting points.
Utilisez la fonction de pré-traitement du logicielview function to verify the job path before starting.

5.3 Début du travail

Close the machine lid securely.
Initiate the job from the software or the machine's digital control panel.
Monitor the process through the flame-retardant viewing fenêtre.

6. Entretien

Un entretien régulier garantit des performances optimales et prolonge la durée de vie de votre graveur laser.

Nettoyer les lentilles et les miroirs : Regularly clean the laser lenses and reflective mirrors with appropriate cleaning solutions and wipes to maintain beam quality.
Système de refroidissement par eau : Periodically check and replace the water in the cooling system. Ensure the water pump is functioning correctly to prevent overheating of the laser tube.
Nettoyage du poste de travail : Clean the honeycomb and blade beds to remove debris and residue that can affect material placement and laser performance.
Lubrification: Lubricate moving parts (rails, bearings) as recommended by the manufacturer to ensure smooth operation.
Système d'échappement : Inspect and clean the exhaust fan and ducting to ensure efficient smoke and fume extraction.

7. Dépannage

Problème	Cause possible	Solution
Aucune sortie laser	Power supply issue, laser tube failure, misaligned optics.	Check power connections, inspect laser tube, verify mirror alignment.
Qualité de gravure médiocre	Mise au point incorrecte, optique sale, réglages de puissance/vitesse incorrects, problèmes de matériaux.	Adjust focus, clean lenses/mirrors, optimize settings, test on scrap material.
L'ordinateur ne répond pas	Erreur de communication logicielle, arrêt d'urgence activé, câbles desserrés.	Restart software/machine, check emergency stop, secure all cables.
Alarme de surchauffe	Insufficient water flow, high ambient temperature, faulty water pump.	Check water level/flow, ensure proper cooling, inspect water pump.
