5. Maintenance

Cleaning the Lens: Regularly clean the laser lens with a soft, lint-free cloth to ensure optimal engraving quality.
General Cleaning: Keep the machine free from dust and debris. Use a soft brush or compressed air to clean the working area.
Storage: When not in use, store the engraver in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight.

6. Troubleshooting

Engraving is blurry or weak:
- Check the focus of the laser. Ensure the laser dot is sharp and small on the material surface.
- Verify the material is suitable for the selected power settings.
- Clean the laser lens for any obstructions or dust.
Machine does not connect via Bluetooth/USB:
- Ensure the machine is powered on.
- For Bluetooth, check if Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device and the app has necessary permissions.
- For USB, try a different USB port or cable. Reinstall the drivers if necessary.
Engraving on round objects (e.g., cups, thermos): The DJ6 can engrave on round objects. Use the provided heightening columns to adjust the machine's height to match the object's curvature and ensure the laser is focused correctly on the engraving surface.
Engraving on stainless steel/metal: The DJ6 can engrave on painted metal. For bare stainless steel or other metals, it is generally used for marking rather than deep engraving. Some users report success with specific settings or by applying a marking spray.
