5. Operating Instructions

The ATOMSTACK F30 Air Assist Pump is designed for simple operation, providing adjustable airflow to optimize your laser engraving and cutting tasks.

5.1. Power On and Airflow Adjustment

Once connected, turn on the air assist pump using the integrated knob. This knob serves as both the power switch and the airflow adjustment control. Rotate the knob to adjust the airflow from 10 L/min to 30 L/min, depending on your material and desired cutting/engraving effect.

5.2. Benefits During Operation

The adjustable airflow helps to:

  • Remove Smoke and Dust: Effectively clears smoke and dust generated during cutting/engraving, preventing energy attenuation and ensuring consistent laser performance.
  • Reduce Surface Temperature: Powerful airflow quickly reduces the surface temperature of the material, preventing excessive burning and scorch marks.
  • Achieve Cleaner Edges: Contributes to cleaner and smoother cutting edges, enhancing the overall quality of your finished work.

5.3. Low Noise Operation

Even when the airflow is adjusted to its maximum setting, the ATOMSTACK F30 Air Assist Pump operates at a noise level of less than 60dB. This is comparable to the volume of a household electric fan, ensuring a quiet working environment.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your ATOMSTACK F30 Air Assist Pump.

  • Cleaning: Periodically wipe down the exterior of the pump with a soft, dry cloth. Ensure no dust or debris accumulates around the air intake/outlet.
  • Filter Replacement: The package includes dedicated replacement filter glass. Replace the filter glass when it appears dirty or if you notice a decrease in airflow efficiency.
  • Air Pipe Inspection: Regularly check the air pipe for any kinks, blockages, or damage. Ensure it is securely connected to both the pump and the laser module.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your ATOMSTACK F30 Air Assist Pump, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

ProblemPossible CauseSolution
No airflow or weak airflowPower not connected; Air pipe kinked/blocked; Filter clogged; Airflow knob set too low.Check power connection; Straighten air pipe or clear blockage; Replace filter glass; Adjust airflow knob to a higher setting.
Pump is noisyNormal operation noise; Pump not on a stable surface.Ensure pump is on a flat, stable surface to minimize vibration; Noise level is typically below 60dB.
Laser cutting/engraving quality is poor despite air assistIncorrect airflow setting; Laser module issues; Material not suitable.Adjust airflow to optimal level for material; Consult laser engraver manual for laser-specific troubleshooting; Ensure material is compatible with laser processing.

If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact customer support for further assistance.
