1. Introduction
The ATOMSTACK Swift 7W Laser Engraver is a high-precision laser cutting and engraving machine designed for various materials. It features advanced spot compression technology, enabling detailed engraving and efficient cutting. This manual provides essential information for safe operation, assembly, usage, and maintenance of your device.
2. Safety Guidelines
- Eye Protection: Always wear the provided safety glasses during operation. The magnetic filter cover blocks 97% of intense light, but direct exposure to the laser beam can cause severe eye damage.
- Ventilation: Operate the machine in a well-ventilated area to dissipate smoke and fumes produced during engraving and cutting.
- Material Compatibility: Only engrave or cut materials specified as safe for laser processing. Avoid highly reflective, flammable, or unknown materials.
- Supervision: Do not leave the machine running unattended. Monitor the engraving/cutting process closely.
- Emergency Stop: Familiarize yourself with the emergency stop procedure.
- Flame Detection: The device includes a flame detector and gyroscope for enhanced safety, triggering an alarm in case of unexpected events.

5. Operation Guide
5.1. Focusing Method
To ensure optimal engraving and cutting results, proper focusing is essential. Place your workpiece on the working area, then adjust the focus by turning the side knob on the laser module until the laser spot is at its smallest and sharpest point on the material surface. If the hand-tightened screw interferes with the optical shaft, pull out the black part, rotate it outward, and then release it.
5.2. Software and Connectivity
The ATOMSTACK Swift 7W Laser Engraver supports multiple software options and connectivity methods:
- Software: Compatible with LightBurn, LaserGRBL, and ATOMSTACK's proprietary PC software (AtomStack Studio) and mobile app.
- Connectivity: Connect via Type-C USB cable, standard USB cable, or wirelessly via WiFi/hotspot.
- Supported Systems: Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS.
- File Formats: JPG, JPEG, SVG, PNG, BMP, PDF, G-Code, DXF.

6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the laser lens and the working area to prevent debris buildup, which can affect performance and accuracy. Use a soft, lint-free cloth and appropriate cleaning solutions.
- Lubrication: Periodically lubricate the moving parts, such as the guide rails and lead screws, to ensure smooth operation.
- Cable Inspection: Check all cables for any signs of wear or damage. Replace damaged cables immediately to prevent electrical hazards.
7. Troubleshooting
- Machine Not Powering On: Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the machine and a working power outlet. Check the power button.
- Laser Not Firing/Weak Output: Verify the laser module is correctly installed and the thumb screw is tightened. Check the focus adjustment. Ensure the laser module cable is properly connected.
- Engraving/Cutting Inaccurate: Check the tightness of all screws and ensure the optical shaft is properly installed. Adjust the eccentric nut if the X-axis movement is not smooth. Ensure the workpiece is stable and not moving during operation.
- Software Connectivity Issues: Confirm that the USB cable is properly connected or that the WiFi/hotspot connection is stable. Restart the software and the machine if necessary.
