Operating Instructions
Powering On and Indicator Lights
The LASER TREE K40+ laser engraving module has two indicator lights: a red light for power and a green light for the PWM signal. When both lights are illuminated simultaneously, it indicates that the module is functioning correctly. The red cross positioning light at the bottom will also be active.

Focus Adjustment
A focus lever is designed on the lower side of the laser module to adjust the focal distance based on the material thickness. For example, to cut 12mm material, the focus should be 6mm lower than the material surface. Adjust the fixed focus lever to 6mm.
Image: A guide showing the fixed focus lever and a reference table for adjusting focus based on material thickness.
| Material Thickness | Fixed Focus Lever Setting |
|---|---|
| < 5mm | 0mm |
| 5mm | 2mm |
| 8mm | 4mm |
| 10mm | 5mm |
| 12mm | 6mm |
| ≥15mm | 7mm |
Red Cross Line Positioning
The red cross positioning light located at the bottom of the laser head helps to accurately position the laser module, ensuring precise alignment for your engraving or cutting tasks.

Maintenance
Cooling System
The LASER TREE 40W module features a dual-fan cooling system, providing excellent cooling performance. Two fans work simultaneously to enhance the laser module's lifespan and prevent power degradation. It also includes a built-in air assist airway to achieve clean-cut edges and improve cutting performance.

Troubleshooting
Temperature Alarm
If the temperature alarm sounds (module temperature exceeds 55°C), press the reset button to silence it. Allow the module to cool down. Ensure adequate ventilation and check for any obstructions to the cooling fans.
Laser Not Firing or Weak Output
- Check if both the red power indicator and green PWM signal indicator lights are on.
- Verify all cables are securely connected.
- Ensure the power adapter is correctly plugged in and receiving power.
- Clean the protective lens if it appears dirty or dusty.
- Adjust the focus according to the material thickness using the focus lever.
Inaccurate Positioning
- Ensure the red cross positioning light is active and properly aligned with your material.
- Check the stability of your laser machine and the module's mounting.
