5. Operating the Extended Engraver

Once the AE85 Extension Kit is successfully installed, your ATOMSTACK laser engraver will have a significantly larger working area. This section provides general guidance on operating your extended machine.

5.1. Utilizing the Expanded Area:

• Konfigurazzjoni tas-Softwer: Ensure your engraving software (e.g., LightBurn, LaserGRBL) is configured to recognize the new, larger working dimensions (850 x 800 mm). This is crucial for accurate project scaling and positioning.
• Tqegħid tal-Materjal: Ħu bil-quddiemtage of the increased space to engrave or cut larger materials, or to process multiple smaller items in a single batch. Secure your materials properly to prevent movement during operation.
• Z-Axis Adjustment: Use the Z-axis rotary focus for precise height adjustment of the laser module, especially when working with materials of varying thicknesses.

5.2. Prekawzjonijiet tas-Sigurtà:

Always adhere to the safety guidelines provided with your original laser engraver. When operating with the extended kit:

• Wear appropriate laser safety glasses.
• Żgura ventilazzjoni xierqa fl-ispazju tax-xogħol tiegħek.
• Qatt tħalli l-magna waħedha waqt it-tħaddim.
• Żomm materjali fjammabbli 'l bogħod miż-żona tal-inċiżjoni.

6. Manutenzjoni

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your ATOMSTACK AE85 Extension Kit and laser engraver. Perform these checks periodically:

• Binarji u Roti Nodfa: Regularly clean the guide rails and wheels to remove dust and debris, which can affect smooth movement and precision. Use a soft, dry cloth.
• Tensjoni taċ-ċinturin: Check the synchronous belt tension. It should be taut but not overly tight. Adjust if necessary to prevent skipping or excessive wear.
