2. Safety Warnings
- Laser Radiation Hazard: This device contains a high-power laser module. Direct or indirect exposure to the laser beam can cause severe eye damage or skin burns. Always wear laser safety goggles matched to the 445±nm wavelength during operation.
- Fire and Smoke Hazard: The laser processing process generates high temperatures, posing a high risk of igniting materials. Ensure a fire extinguisher is readily available. Processing certain materials (e.g., PVC, fluorinated plastics) is strictly prohibited due to toxic fumes and fire risk.
- Prohibited Actions: Unauthorized disassembly of the laser module, electrical circuit modification, or removal of safety interlocks is strictly prohibited and voids the warranty. Operation and maintenance of this device are strictly prohibited for untrained personnel.
- Environmental Requirements: The working environment should be well-ventilated to avoid dust accumulation and dissipate fumes. Ensure at least 1m of operating space is reserved around the equipment.
- Device Protection: Do not operate at full power continuously beyond the maximum continuous duty time specified in the product manual to prevent overheating and damage.

6. 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) Adjust the power and speed settings in the software.
- 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 the software.
- 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.
- 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 control 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 device can achieve effective cuts. Experimentation with settings is recommended for other materials.
