Introduction
The Twotrees Air Assist Set is designed to enhance the performance of compatible laser engravers, including models TS2-10W, TS2-20W, TTS-25, TTS-55, and TTS-10. This system provides a controlled airflow to the laser's focal point, which helps to remove smoke and debris during engraving and cutting processes. This results in cleaner cuts, reduced charring, and improved engraving precision. This manual provides essential information for the safe and effective installation, operation, and maintenance of your air assist set.

Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to properly install the air assist set with your laser engraver. Refer to the diagrams for visual guidance.
- Connect the Silicone Tube to the Air Pump: Connect the silicone tube (ID 8 OD 10 L70mm) to the air pump's outlet. Ensure a snug fit.
- Attach Pneumatic Fitting Reducer: Connect the pneumatic fitting reducer (PG 10-8) to the other end of the silicone tube.
- Connect Longer Silicone Tube: Connect the longer silicone tube (ID 6 OD 8 L2500mm) to the pneumatic fitting reducer PG 10-8.
- Attach Cylinder Regulating Valve to Laser Head: Connect the cylinder regulating valve (SL8-M5 black nickel-plated) to the air inlet on your laser head.
- Connect Silicone Tube to Regulating Valve: Connect the remaining end of the silicone tube (ID 6 OD 8 L2500mm) to the cylinder regulating valve SL8-M5 black nickel-plated.
Once all connections are secure, connect the air pump's power adapter to a suitable power outlet. The power adapter typically includes an adjustable airflow control dial.
Operation
Operating the Twotrees Air Assist Set is straightforward once installed. The primary function is to provide a continuous stream of air to the laser's cutting or engraving point.
- Power On: Ensure the air pump is connected to power and the laser engraver is ready for operation.
- Adjust Airflow: Use the dial on the power adapter to adjust the airflow rate. A higher airflow (up to 30 L/min) is generally beneficial for cutting thicker materials or when significant smoke is generated. Lower airflow (down to 10 L/min) may be suitable for delicate engraving tasks. Experiment with different settings to find the optimal airflow for your specific material and task.
- Observe Results: The air assist will help clear smoke and debris, leading to cleaner edges and reduced charring on your material.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your air assist set.
- Clean Air Filter: Periodically check and clean the air intake filter (if present) on the pump to prevent dust accumulation, which can reduce airflow and strain the motor.
- Inspect Tubing: Examine the silicone air tubes for any kinks, cracks, or blockages. Replace damaged tubing promptly.
- Keep Pump Clean: Wipe down the exterior of the air pump with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Do not use harsh chemicals.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the air assist set in a clean, dry environment.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your air assist set, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No airflow or weak airflow |
|
|
| Excessive noise from pump |
|
|
| Air assist not improving cut quality |
