Tools

Step 1

Remove the honeycomb and the platform bracket.

Step 2

Remove the two screws on the front of and inside the machine. 
Please keep the cover securely for future use.

Step 3

Remove the two screws at the rear side of the machine.
Please keep the cover securely for future use.

Step 4

Rearrange the air hose as in the video below.
(The air hose should be detached first, and its path will be rearranged and then re-attached.)

Step 5

Detach the laser nozzle by turning the ring.

Step 6

Detach the ring from the nozzle extension add-on.
Attach the nozzle extension add-on to the machine using the ring.

Step 7

Reassemble the nozzle with the lens.

• Ensure the lens is in the default order.
• Ensure that the curved side of the lens has to be facing up.
  (A tip to quickly determine the curved side is that it should reflect your whole face when you look at it.)
• Ensure that the air hose is not bent.

Explanation

By default, the focus lens will be at the top, and the focus lens will be 4mm, meaning the distance between the nozzle tip and the surface of the material will have a distance of 4mm.

Determine the Order of the Focus Mode
Focus Mode: 4mm (Default)		Focus Mode: 16mm
Lens		Block
Block		Lens
Ring		Ring
Nozzle		Nozzle

Demonstration

⚠︎ Notice： To prevent potential damage, please avoid placing the air tube in the laser path indicated by the red arrow in the image below.

⚠︎ Notice： Please also arrange for the air hose to be on the right side of the laser nozzle to avoid causing homing issues.

Step 8

Enable the air-flow test function on the panel and manually move the laser head around to see if the result is normal. Especially move the nozzle to the left side, as the air hose will likely hit the side of the machine and cause bending.

Step 9

Go to "Hardware Settings" to choose the default focus mode.
Machine >> Hardware Settings >> Next page >> Focus Mode >> Choose the "Close Focus" (Default)

Step 10

The height of the nozzle can be changed by using the finger screws on the side.

Step 11

You can now place a longer piece of material inside the machine.
Ensure the vent hose won't block the rear side of the material.

Step 12

Perform manual focus using the tool. The tip of the tool has a thickness of 4mm, and we will use it to focus. (If your tool is lost, you can use the instructions to cut a new one yourself.)

Step 13

Move the laser head to the area you want to engrave or cut and close the door.

Step 14

• Launch Beam Studio and import or create a file.
  
• Set the correct parameters based on your material.
  
  
  
  
• Enable the current position for the starting position in document settings.
  
  
  
  
• Start the task.
  

Step 14

Check the result.
