Brief Introduction of Laser Engraving Cutting Machine
I Safety Knowledge
1.1 Basic Information
Make sure that the operator is being trained before operating the machine.
Operator must be aside the machine during machine working. Never leave the
machine alone in case to cause unnecessary loss.
1.2 Optical Security
Our laser equipment adopts the fourth laser tube. Length of laser beam is 10.6μm. During
machine working, we recommend relevant people to wear authorized laser safety goggles.
Do not stare at the laser beam or anything beam reflected even when wearing laser safety
goggles.
1.3 Electricity Security
Before connecting electricity, please check carefully the requirements on the
equipment's name plate, such as power,working voltage and so on.
Without our permission, please don't dismantle electrical apparatus elements on the
equipment, especially do not touch laser power and laser tube during machine
working. Because the equipment has fatal voltage when working, and danger can still
exist after disconnecting electricity.
1 Harm
Various potentially dangerous substance can be eliminated through ventilation system
during plastic material cutting. If smog or smell is too heavy, gas mask is needed.
2 Other Harm
Out of security consideration, equipment modification is forbidden without the
permission from the Manufacturer.

2.2.1.3 Optical System
Attention:
When installing the laser tube, it should be taken slightly. High tension cable and cathode
must be fixed enough. Water inlet of the laser tube should be in the lower place, and water
outlet be in the higher, so there won't be any bubble. The laser tube socket should be
installed with even strength which can just make the tube secure. Do not overexert, it may
crush the laser tube.

forbidden. Temperature of working environment should be 10℃to 38℃, humidity should
be 10- 90%. AC 220V±10%, 50HZ, resistance to ground less than 5Ω.
3.1.2 Preparation of operator
The operator must know well the main point of installation. Otherwise, the damage of
machine parts will not in our scope of protection.
3.1.3 Preparation of tools
There is tool box with this machine. Besides, multi-meter and screwdriver and other
detection tools are needed.
3.1.4 Other preparation
Purified water for water chiller, power strip, pipe for discharge smoke, sample material,
etc.
PS: It’s better for users/customers to learn how to install the machine.
3.2 Installation Steps
3.2.1 Package of laser tube
3.2.1.1 package of laser tube
In case of damage during transportation or outside force, the tube is packed with sponge.
And two ends of tube are sealed with zip lock bag to prevent the mirror from pollution or
scratch. Finally, the tube is built up with sponge supports to prevent tube have direct
contact with surrounding.
3.2.1.2 Unpack Laser Tube
Take out the laser tube. Both hands hold the middle of the tube; take off the sponge
supports; take off the packing sponge; take off the zip lock bag. Then inspect whether the
tube is intact.
If tube have any defect, please take photo and send to Bodor for confirmation.
Attention: It needs as least two person when unpack. Handle the tube with care.

3.2.2 Installation of Laser Tube
Before tube installation, move laser tube to the backside of machine for easy installation.
Laser tube is installed in the backside of gantry. Open protective cover for laser tube, we
will notice that there are 2 laser tube brackets, 2 water tubes, 1 black lower-voltage wire
and 1 red high-voltage wire.
lower-Voltage End of laser tube Higher-Voltage End
3.2.2.1
Firstly, use M3 Allen Wrench to take off M4 screw on laser tube bracket and take down
the upper part. Let the out-gate of laser tube(lower-voltage end) face the first reflector and
put it softly on the bracket.
Then fix the upper parts of bracket with screws. Connect high-voltage wire and
water-in/out tube. As picture VIII.
PS:●Beam Out-gate of laser tube should keep estimated 2.5cm distance from the first
reflector.
●Do not over fasten laser tube in case there is any damage.

●Must make sure water-in gate is downside and water-out gate is upper side. Keep
the water go into laser tube from lower gate and out from upper gate. Take above picture
as reference.
●Make sure every connection of water tube is well connected in case any leakage.
Water tube should be straightened.
3.2.3 Installation of Water Chiller
▲Firstly open the water-in gate of water chiller and fill pure water or distilled
water into it fully.
▲Then connect water-in/out gate of water chiller with water out/in gate of laser
machine to make sure the water cycling path.
▲Finally, connect Signal wire and power line of water chiller.
After installation of laser tube, press button to open it. There will be sound of water flow,
water will fill inside water tube from higher-voltage end to lower-voltage end. Then green
light on water chiller flashes. It proves water cycle is normal if there is no alarm.
PS:●Water flows from water-in gate to water-out gate during working. Or it will hurt
laser tube.
●Power on the machine. If there is any bubble inside laser tube, we could squeeze
the water tube softly or rotate laser tube to expel the bubbles.
●During machine running, do not touch higher-voltage wire to keep safety.
