When using first insert USB, and then plug the power supply.
When not in use, unplug the power supply and pull out the USB,
Don't get the order of the reverse, the computer shutdown is equivalent to pull out the USB.
Because the control chips using usb power supplyMotor and laser using 12V power supply,
If Control chip no power Laser has electricityLaser will lose control,Have a chance to laser damage

work for 60 minutesCutting can work for 10 minutestemperature is high should be the pauses to rest. Laser

General: (row scanning)from left to right, then back to the left, from left to right

The shortest path: according to the order of carving the shortest.

gcode cut gcode

gcode cut is a vector cutting software, open the gcode file to be cut, and the picture is different from the
engraving, vector cutting is along the contour line. We usually use this mode to cut through the wood, paper
and other materials.

Cutting speed: the speed of movement of laser cutting, expressed in (mm \'s). This speed is also used to control the depth of the cutting,
for the specific laser intensity, the slower the speed, the greater the depth of the cut, Speed is too fast will reduce the accuracy

Laser intensity: the intensity of the laser beam to the surface of the material. For specific cutting speed,
the greater the intensity, the deeper the cutting.

Travel speed: positioning of the moving speed, speed is too fast will reduce the accuracy

Repeated number of times: the material can be cut through the repeated number of times repeated cutting

In reflective, transparent, high temperature resistance,

is difficult to engraving.But if it is painted black on the surface,
it is easy to engraving.Use the water-based marker pen to blacken,
finish engraving then erase Paper towel wipe clean

common problem :
1 No trace of engraving

The focus of the laser head is not good.

Laser irradiation at different heights on the object, the focus of different sizes, to normal engraving
, must be the minimum focus

Carved objects are not suitable for engraving

Due to our use of the laser head power is small, a lot of flame retardant, transparent, thermal conductivity
of the material is not engraving

The laser head is burnt out

Under the environment of high temperature laser is easy to be bad, couldn't work for too long time
