5. Guia de funcionament
5.1 Enfocament del làser
Accurate focusing is crucial for optimal engraving and cutting results.
- Place your workpiece directly under the laser module.
- 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 to allow full adjustment.
