2. Ohutusjuhised

Operating a laser engraver involves inherent risks. Adhere strictly to the following safety precautions to prevent injury or damage.

• Silmade kaitse: Always wear the provided laser protective eyewear when the machine is in operation. The laser is Class IV and can cause severe eye damage.
• Järelevalveta toimimine: Do not leave the machine running unattended. Constant supervision is required during operation.
• Ventilatsioon: Operate the machine in a well-ventilated area to dissipate fumes and smoke produced during engraving and cutting.
• Materjali ohutus: Graveerige või lõigake ainult ohutuks peetavaid materjale. Vältige materjale, mis eraldavad mürgiseid aure või on kergesti süttivad.
• Hädapeatus: Tutvuge avariipeatusnupu asukoha ja tööpõhimõttega.
• Lapsed ja lemmikloomad: Hoidke lapsed ja lemmikloomad tööpiirkonnast eemal.

7. Põhitoimingud

This section outlines the fundamental steps for engraving and cutting.

7.1. Material Placement

Place the material to be engraved or cut flat on the working surface. Ensure it is stable and does not move during operation.

7.2. Laseri fokuseerimine

The S30 uses a fixed focus column and sliding device for focusing. Position the laser module over the material and adjust its height until the laser beam is at its smallest point on the material surface. This ensures optimal engraving and cutting performance.

7.3. Kujunduse ettevalmistamine

Import your design into the software (e.g., LightBurn). Adjust parameters such as power, speed, and number of passes according to the material type and desired outcome. For automatic air assist, ensure the M8 command is enabled in LightBurn for cutting operations.

7.4. Töö alustamine

Once the design is prepared and the laser is focused, initiate the engraving or cutting process from the software. Monitor the machine closely throughout the operation.

8. Hooldus
