PLACE HOLDER FOR NOZZLE PICTURE
Close the laser door and leave it closed.
Using the key turn on the laser
Wait for the laser gantry to finish homing procedure and till it returns to previous origin.
Gantry will move to x,y origin (top right corners), this will be a slow move, and then gantry moves fast back to the previous job's origin position.
Clear (if any) leftover material from the laser bed
move the bed (bed moves down towards ground) or the gantry as needed using the remote or the control panel
Make sure the lenses and are mirrors are clean
If not sure how, ask someone what to look for and how to clean each item.
Place your material on the bed
Move the gantry as required and after placing your material on the bed you may use the wooden fasters to secure/tie-down your material in place.
Focusing the laser on the material

If there exist large gap, laser will not focused on the material and your cut/engrave result will not be as expected
