5. Operating Instructions

The honeycomb design facilitates optimal airflow, which is essential for clean cuts and efficient smoke exhaust during laser engraving.

• Place your material on the honeycomb bed, aligning it using the measurement marks.
• Secure the material with the hold-down pins to prevent shifting during the laser process.
• Ensure your laser engraver is properly focused according to its own manual.
• The open structure of the honeycomb allows smoke and debris to pass through, reducing soot buildup on your material and preventing over-burning.
