2. Safety Warnings

▲ Warning: Laser Radiation Hazard

This device contains a high-power laser module. Direct or indirect exposure to the laser beam can cause severe eye and skin damage. Always wear laser safety goggles matched to the 445±5nm wavelength during operation. Avoid touching the laser directly with your eyes and skin.

▲ Warning: Fire and Smoke Hazard

The laser processing process generates high temperatures, posing a high risk of igniting materials. Ensure proper ventilation and never leave the machine unattended during operation. Processing certain materials may produce harmful fumes; use an exhaust system.

General Safety Precautions:

• Operation and maintenance of this device are strictly prohibited for unauthorized personnel.
• Do not engrave mirrored objects or metals with strong mirrored reflectivity, as this can cause injury to the operator or damage the laser.
• Unauthorized disassembly of the laser module, electrical circuit modification, or removal of safety interlocks is strictly prohibited.

3. Product Features

• Core Technology: Equipped with a high-performance 445 nm blue laser.
• Laser Beam Shaping Technology: TTS-55 PRO uses a 5.5W laser with an ultra-fine 0.08mm sharp laser focus (LD+FAC+C-Lens compression spot technology). TTS-10 PRO uses a 10W laser with a 0.069*0.157mm spot size.
• High Precision Engraving: Engraving works are more delicate due to the small spot size.
• Cutting Capability: Capable of precise cutting of thin non-metallic materials, such as up to 8mm thick wood and 5mm acrylic.
• Fast Focus Design: Combines a fixed focus lens and a knob for height adjustment, making focusing easy. Includes a fixed focus column.
• Easy Assembly Structure: Aluminum profile structure design with double Y-axis motors for stable operation and improved engraving accuracy. 60% pre-assembled, assembly can be completed in approximately 30 minutes.
• Wide Compatibility: Supports smart phone APP control, Wi-Fi connection, and USB connection. Compatible with various mature engraving software including LaserGRBL, LightBurn, Benbox, GrblController, and LiteFire. Supports PWM mode engraving.
• Operating System Support: Windows (XP/7/8/10/11) and Mac systems (LightBurn).
• File Format Support: JPG, PNG, DXF, SVG, G-code, NC, BMP, etc.
• Safe Design: The laser protective cover filters 98% of ultraviolet light. The motherboard has a separate control switch.
• Square Measuring Ruler: Machine frame includes precise scale lines for quick measurement of engraving objects.
• Modularity in Design: Components can be independently replaced or exchanged.
• Funnel Design of Light Filter: Prevents laser light from spreading upwards and causing damage to the laser head.
• Offline Engraving: High Speed ESP32 Smart Module integrates WiFi and Bluetooth for convenient App connection and offline use.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1. Parameter Setup and Test Run

Set appropriate power, speed, and pass count in the software according to the material type and thickness. Always perform a test run on a scrap piece of the same material to verify settings before starting the main project.

6.2. Starting Processing

Close the protective cover and activate the exhaust system (if applicable). Send the processing command from the software.

6.3. Ending Operation

After processing completes, wait until the device has fully stopped and the laser head has completely cooled before handling the workpiece or machine.

7. Maintenance

• Keep the machine clean from dust and debris, especially the laser lens and rails, to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
• Regularly check all connections (USB, power, etc.) to ensure they are secure.
• Ensure the laser protective cover is clean and free from scratches to maintain visibility and safety.
• The lightweight filter hood features a modular magnet-attached design, making it easily removable for cleaning and maintenance.

8. Troubleshooting (FAQ)

Q1: What should I do if engraving/cutting depth is insufficient?

A: Please check the following sequentially:

1. Whether the laser focus is precisely aligned to the material surface.
2. Whether the power and speed settings in the software are appropriate for the material.

Q2: Why are engraving edges unclear or charred?

A: This is typically caused by excessive power or insufficient speed. Reduce the power percentage or increase the travel speed in your software settings.

Q3: Why is the device not recognized after connecting to the computer?

A: Please verify:

1. Whether the USB cable is undamaged and securely connected.
2. Whether the device's USB driver is correctly installed on your computer.

Q4: Why does the laser head emit no light?

A: Please check:

1. Whether all power connections are secure and functional.
2. Whether the "Laser Enable" option is activated in the software.

Q5: How thick a material can be cut?

A: Cutting capability depends on laser power, material properties, and focal length. For common 3 mm basswood or acrylic sheets, the TTS-55 PRO can cut up to 8mm thick wood and 5mm acrylic.

9. User Tips

• Assembly Assistance: If you find assembly challenging, refer to the detailed video tutorials provided in the Setup section.
• Stability: To minimize vibrations and ensure consistent engraving/cutting quality, consider screwing the machine to a stable work table.
• Transparent Materials: Transparent materials cannot be cut or engraved directly. The surface needs to be covered with an opaque layer before processing.
• Power Plug Type: When selecting your machine, 'EU' or 'US' refers to the power plug type suitable for your region.
