Physical Setup in the Machine

1. Place the Material: Lay your wood flat on the honeycomb panel or slats.
2. Secure the Wood: Use "honeycomb pins" or magnets to ensure the wood is perfectly flat. If the wood is warped, the laser will lose focus, and it won't cut through.
3. Position the Laser Head: Manually move the laser head (or use the software arrows) to the top-left corner of your material.

Setting the Focus

Proper focus is the difference between a clean cut and a scorched mess.

• Auto-Measure: In the right-hand panel, click the Auto-measure icon (it looks like a small ruler/target).
• S1: The probe will drop down to touch the wood.
• P2: The laser head will move over the material to measure the height via the built-in sensor.

Adjusting "Cut" Parameters

Select your design on the canvas to open the settings panel on the right.

1. Processing Type: Change from "Score" or "Engrave" to Cut.
2. Setting the Power/Speed:
3. Passes: Set to 1 unless the wood is exceptionally thick (over 10mm).

1. Framing: Click Framing on the bottom right. The laser head will move in a rectangle to show you exactly where the cut will happen. Ensure it doesn't hit any pins or magnets.
2. Process: Click Process, then Start.
3. Physical Button: Finally, press the Start button on the machine itself to begin the cut.
