7. Operazzjoni Bażika

This section outlines the fundamental steps for engraving and cutting.

7.1. Material Placement

Place the material to be engraved or cut flat on the working surface. Ensure it is stable and does not move during operation.

7.2. L-Iffukar tal-Laser

The S30 uses a fixed focus column and sliding device for focusing. Position the laser module over the material and adjust its height until the laser beam is at its smallest point on the material surface. This ensures optimal engraving and cutting performance.
