1. Assemble the machine
Please refer to the hardware manual for hardware assembly, which is ignored here.
Please go to the second step after the assembly is completed.
2. Download and run the software “VevorWorks”
Open our website www.VevorEngraver.com
Find the control software VevorWorks of VG-L5, then click to download to your computer.
Green software doesn't need to be installed. Decompress the file you downloaded just now. The software running
OS is Win7 Win8 and Win10.
Open the fold and double-click the VigoWorks.exe file to run the engraving software. The OS may prompt that the
software will use the network, please click OK (some computer systems do not prompt, if the software cannot use
the network, please allow it manually in the firewall).
This machine also supports other engraving software like Laser Grbl, Light Burn and so on.
3. Connect Engraving software and laser engraving machine
After turning on the machine by pressing the power key on the engraving machine board, connect the engraving
software and laser engraving machine by following methods.
USB-Serial Connection
Connect the USB-Serial cable to both control board and computer. In general, Win10 can automatically identify
the device While Win7 or other OS may need to install driver manually. Double click CH341SER.exe to install the
driver if necessary. Click Connect on top left corner of VevorWorks. The color of title bar will change to blue,
indicating that the connection between software and machine is successful.
4. Adjust focus
Place the object to be engraved on the lower part of the laser module, the recommended distance is 3-10cm. Click
the weak light button in the upper right corner of the software to turn on the weak light of the laser, then turn
forward and back the focusing ring of the laser module head until the light spot on the surface of the object become
smallest and clearest.
5. Open or input the content to be engraved and adjust the engraving parameters
Engraving content can be opened at the top of the software image or gallery, or edit input text.
Set the start point of engraving and adjust the size of engraving.
Select one of the engraving modes. There are two engraving modes, line mode and point mode, which can
respectively engrave black-and-white images, grayscale images and outlines (only line engraving is supported for
outline, please use outline when cutting objects)
Set engraving parameters. There are four engraving parameters that can be set. These parameters will affect the
engraving speed and engraving effect. It is necessary for you to understand the function of these parameters and
adjust them according to different engraving materials and contents.
(1) Line engraving speed: Set the engraving speed (only valid for line engraving mode). Note that the set speed
may not be reached when the image is too small or the dot distance is too dense.

(2) Maximum laser power: Set the maximum laser power, which is the laser power when the maximum gray level
(i.e. all black) in the dot matrix gray mode and line scan gray mode and the laser power in the Binary (black and
white) engraving mode. The unit is the percentage of the installed laser full power.
(3) Engraving point distance: set the precision of dot matrix engraving or line scanning engraving, and the number
of lines or points per millimeter.
(4) Time of dot engraving: Set the engraving time of each dot. The unit is millisecond. According to the power of
the laser module, we generally recommend to set about 1ms to 5ms.
6. Preview the engraving range and start engraving
Click Range preview to confirm the position and range of engraving. Click Start and wait for the engraving to be
completed.

3. Control-Board and Laser
3.1 Instructions for control board (Optional)
The Motor-X and Motor-Y interface on board should be
connected to the X-Part and Y-part motors correspondingly. The two
Y-Part motors can be connected to any of the two Motor-Y interfaces
on board. It's only related to the direction of motion, and users can
change the direction of Y in the software Settings. The 6Pin of the
motor wire is for the motor, and the 4Pin is for the control panel.
Please connect the laser to the control board with the 3pin wire.

Connect to the power supply and the computer by USB.
In general, there is no need to adjust the motor drive current.
Please focus the laser on the materials to be carved referring to the laser instructions below before starting carving.
3.3 Instructions for laser (Optional).
Please wear the protective glasses before operating the laser!
When all the connections are completed, turn on the power, and the laser
is standby for working. The red light on the top of the laser is continuous
lighting in this time.
Turn on the weak light and adjust the focal length (except the
Fixed-Focus Laser)
Please lay the materials to be carved flat under the laser. The recommended distance from laser outlet to materials
is 3~10cm. Out of range may be out of focus.
Press the weak light switch on the top of the laser (Marked as ). Then the red light will flash and the weak light
on. Laser spots can be seen on the materials to be engraved at this time. Rotate the focusing ring slowly on the laser
outlet to shrink the laser spots. When the laser spots are minimized, it is the optimum state for laser engraving.
After that, press the weak light switch again, and the weak light is turned off. The red light on the top of the laser is
continuous lighting in this time, and the laser is standby for working.
It is important to understand that this weak light switch on the top of the laser is not controlled by control software.
So be sure to switch back to normal (make sure that weak light is off) before you start engraving.
4. Notice and FAQ
(1).Please pay attention to the sequence of the installation steps to avoid repeated disassembly.
(2). It is strictly prohibited to use this machine unattended.
(3). Make sure to wear protective glasses before operating the laser.
FAQ
The control software cannot
be opened
Please check whether the system is Win7 or above.
Wrong control respond
Please power off the device and shut down the software, then restart both. If
useless, please try below.
Please restore the device by click Restore in setting, then click Model Select and
choose the device you used to reset parameters.
The carving is not good or
there is no burned trace
Please check whether the focal length of laser is in the recommended distance.
Please check whether the laser focus is at a minimum.
Please check whether the object to be caved is laid flat.
Please check whether the laser is in weak light mode.
Please check whether the power indicator light on the control panel is
continuous lighting.
Please check whether the motors are working properly.
The stepper motors are not
working properly
Please check whether the connection between the three motors and control
board is correct.
Please check for any irrelevant stuff on the slide to block movement.
Please check whether the motor drive current is normal. Too little current causes
the motors to stall. Too much current makes the motors to vibrate, and causes the
movement of the machine or materials to be carved.
Please check whether the power indicator light on the control panel is
continuous lighting.
Important Safety Instruction
Warning: To reduce the risk of burns, electrocutions, or injury to persons!
Strictly prohibit laser radiation of the eyes!
Strictly prohibit watching laser without wearing protective glasses!
