2. Informazioni sulla sicurezza
Operating a laser engraver involves inherent risks. Adhere to all safety precautions to prevent accidents and ensure personal safety.
- Protezione degli occhi: Always wear certified laser safety goggles when the machine is operating. Never look directly at the laser beam or its reflection.
- Ventilazione: Operate the machine in a well-ventilated area or use an appropriate fume extraction system. Laser engraving and cutting can produce smoke, fumes, and potentially harmful particles.
- Rischio di incendio: Keep a fire extinguisher nearby. Do not leave the machine unattended during operation, especially when cutting flammable materials. Ensure the work area is clear of combustible materials.
- Sicurezza dei materiali: Only engrave or cut materials approved for laser processing. Avoid materials that produce toxic fumes or catch fire easily (e.g., PVC, certain plastics).
- Bambini e animali domestici: Tenere bambini e animali domestici lontani dalla macchina in funzione.
- Arresto di emergenza: Familiarizzare con la posizione e il funzionamento del pulsante di arresto di emergenza.
- Alimentazione elettrica: Utilizzare solo l'adattatore di alimentazione fornito e assicurarsi che sia collegato a una presa di corrente dotata di messa a terra.

- Controllo APP: Use the dedicated mobile application for remote control and monitoring.
5.3 Material Preparation and Focusing
- Materiale sicuro: Place your material on the work bed and secure it to prevent movement during operation.
- Metti a fuoco il laser: Adjust the laser module's height until the laser spot is at its smallest and most intense point on the material surface. This ensures optimal engraving and cutting quality.
5.4 Avvio di un lavoro di incisione/taglio
- Preparazione del progetto: Create or load your design in LaserGRBL or LightBurn.
- Impostazioni dei parametri: Adjust engraving/cutting parameters such as laser power, speed, and passes based on the material type and desired outcome. The RAY5 20W offers high precision and speeds up to 10000mm/min.
- Enable Air Assist: If cutting or engraving materials that produce significant smoke or require cleaner edges, turn on the Air Assist pump. Adjust airflow as needed (10-30L/min).
- Inizia il lavoro: Initiate the job from the software or directly from the 3.5-inch touch screen if using a TF card. Monitor the process closely.
