3. Setup

3.1 Unpacking and Assembly

Carefully unpack all components from the box. Refer to the included assembly guide for step-by-step instructions on putting together the frame, laser module, and connecting cables. Ensure all screws are tightened securely.

3.2 Connecting the Device

Connect the power adapter to the engraver and a suitable power outlet. Connect the engraver to your computer via the provided USB cable, or establish a wireless connection using WiFi or Bluetooth as per the software's instructions.

3.3 Software Installation and Configuration

Install your preferred engraving software (e.g., LaserGRBL, LightBurn) on your computer. Follow the software's instructions to install necessary drivers and configure the connection to your TTS-10 Pro. Ensure the correct COM port is selected for USB connections.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Material Preparation

Place your material flat on the working surface. Use clamps or magnets to secure it to prevent movement during operation. For transparent materials like acrylic or glass, apply black paint to the surface to absorb the laser effectively, as transparent colors will not react.

4.2 Focusing the Laser

Adjust the laser module's height until the laser spot is at its smallest and most focused point on the material surface. This ensures optimal engraving and cutting performance.

4.3 Starting an Engraving/Cutting Job

Load your design file into the software. Adjust parameters such as laser power, speed, and number of passes according to your material and desired outcome. Perform a small test engrave on scrap material if unsure. Once settings are confirmed, initiate the job from the software.

4.4 Recommended Settings

Optimal settings vary greatly depending on the material type, thickness, and desired effect (engraving vs. cutting). Consult online resources, community forums, or the software's material library for recommended starting points. Always perform test cuts/engraves on scrap material before working on your final piece.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your laser engraver.

5.1 Cleaning the Laser Module

Periodically clean the laser lens with a soft, lint-free cloth and lens cleaning solution. Dust and debris can accumulate on the lens, reducing laser power and engraving quality.

5.2 Rail Lubrication

Apply a small amount of lubricant to the guide rails every few months to ensure smooth movement of the laser module. Refer to the assembly guide for specific lubrication points.

5.3 Firmware Updates

Check the Twotrees official website for any available firmware updates. Keeping your firmware up-to-date can improve performance, add new features, and resolve potential issues.
