5. Instruccions de funcionament

This section provides general guidance for operating the Aufero Laser Engraver. Specific operations may vary based on the software used.

1. Preparació del material:
   • Select a material suitable for laser engraving or cutting. Common materials include wood, acrylic, leather, and certain metals (for engraving).
   • Place the material securely on the knife-edge working platform. Ensure it is flat and does not move during operation.
2. Preparació del disseny:
   • Create or import your design using the laser control software.
   • Adjust the design size and position to fit your material and desired output.
3. Configuració dels paràmetres:
   • Set the laser power, speed, and number of passes based on the material type and desired effect (engraving or cutting). Refer to material testing guides or recommended settings within your software.
   • Ensure the laser focus is correctly set for your material thickness.
4. Framing/Preview:
   • Use the framing function in your software to preview the laser's path on the material without firing the laser at full power. This helps confirm correct positioning.
5. Inici de l'operació:
   • Ensure all safety precautions are in place, including wearing laser safety goggles and having adequate ventilation.
   • Inicieu el procés de gravat o tall des del programari.
   • Monitor the machine closely during operation. Be prepared to use the emergency stop if any issues arise.
6. Finalització:
   • Once the operation is complete, wait for the laser to stop completely and for any fumes to clear before removing the material.
   • Carefully remove the engraved or cut material.
