Instruction

Step1

Sand your wood if needed with 180 + 220 grit sand paper

Step2

Add your material to the laser bed and use the built-in camera or positioning system to show the software where your material is on the laser bed

Step3

Centre the design on your material

Step4

Check your exhaust is vented outside

Step5

Hit start on the software, then okay the job by pressing the button on the machine

Step6

Stay with the machine as it works, as some materials can be flammable with slow speeds and high power

Step7

Once finished, remove your grid from the machine. Do not sand it, as the point of the test is to try to get clean cuts. If you sand it, you won't know in future which ones were clean or dirty.
