Chapter Three Equipment Accessories Installations and
Instructions
3.1 Laser Tube installation
Picture 1
1.Reflective Mirror Stand 2.Water Outlet 3.Cathode- 4.Water Inlet 5. Anode+ 6.Laser Tube Stand 7.Laser Outlet
（See in picture 1)
While installing laser tube ，please refer to picture 1.According to picture 1 illustration, use electric
soldering iron to weld anode line(pink cord) and cathode rays(black/blue cord) in the Specified location(note:
Pay attention to not use electric iron welding on spot of the laser tube too long, in case the excess temperature
burnt laser tube),shall not be virtual welding. After completion of welding, operators should wrap it with high
pressure belt.。
After completion of welding, insert in/out tube respectively to the provisions of the laser tube outlet and
inlet position（While linking water tube,operators should follow principle that water inflow from the anode
and outflow from the cathode).

3.2.1 Water tube and water pump, air tube and air pump connections：
(1) Please full the tank with water before connecting(water level should be more than three-quarters
of the water tank, submerged pump).

(2) Please find the water pipes and air pipes in the packing box, follow the prompts of Figure 2,
connected to the rear port of the machine.
3.2.2 Annexes to the role:：
(1) air pump role:
Prevent generated dust into the gas nozzle when the machine is processing materials, pollution
Focus Lens .
Blow away dust produced during processing, make the processing depth shading flatter.
Prevent in the process of machine working, blew flammable objects produced.
(2) water pump role:
Before the machine is working, it must ensure laser tube filled with recycled water, otherwise it
will burn laser tube, causing irreparable damage. When pass water, be sure to keep the water
clean ，Dirty water will affect effect of laser tube light, reduce the laser tube life
(recommended to use purified water). Also note that the water temperature, water
temperature laser cutting machine at work should not exceed 35 ℃, the temperature is too
high will cause the laser tube is not working properly, serious or even burn out the laser
tube.In the north, using a laser cutting machine in the winter , the water temperature inside the
tank can not than 0 ℃. After the work is completed, the water must be drained laser tube to
prevent the cracking of the laser tube, water tank holding at least 3/4.

Ventilator, ventilation pipe connected with the machine:
1·The air duct (6) is connected to the outlet of ventilation (5), and firmly fixed. And then the
other end of the vent pipe is placed outdoors.
2·The ventilation device is placed in the ventilation slots (3), so that the ventilation inlet and
connected the air outlet of devices, and for a reasonable fixed to improve the exhaust smoke effect
of device, and then plug the power input ventilation output plug into a power strip (4).。
