Smart Laser CO2 Manual
Please read the following notes carefully then please adjust for the optical axis.
・The light generated by the laser is very harmful. Please use extreme caution against possible fire, burns or injury to the eyes.
・Do not turn on the ON switch to the laser until assembly is totally complete.
・Upon use, do not let the laser light enter the eyes directly or by reflection from a mirror surface.
・Be sure to use protective eye wear applicable for the laser wavelength being used.
・Never look directly at the laser light even when using protective eye wear or at low laser intensities.
・Do not place highly reflective items near the vicinity of the laser.
・Do not direct laser light on any part of the body, even through clothing.
・Do not direct laser light to items other than the intended work piece or toward other individuals.
・Adjust it by burning masking tape. If the laser output power is too strong then it could be dangerous as it may light up with fire, so please adjust it to a weak output power.
・If adjusting it using masking tape with the reflection mirror attached, please be aware that the tape materials won’t go on the reflection mirror because it may cause degradation of the mirror.
・Please use the laser cutting machine where there are no flammable, combustible, or volatile substances.
・Do not use on materials such as polyvinyl chloride, nylon, polyurethane or other materials which will give off toxic gases.
・Ventilate well to allow smoke generated in the laser cutting process to escape.
・Operate the laser cutting machine after confirming there are no children in the vicinity.
・Never move the laser cutting machine while it is in operation.

Paste it on the mirror mount and irradiate the laser on it to adjust the spot position.
Do not put the reflection mirror on at this time yet.
Adjust for the laser tube height, irradiate the laser and check the position.
Loosen four screws in the picture to adjust the height of laser tube to be middle.
Make sure it does not tilt.
If the spot is on top part, move the laser tube down.
If the spot is on the bottom part, move the laser tube up.
Adjust it so that the point is in the center of mirror along the vertical axis.
Check if the laser tube is tilting using a level guide or something similar.
If it is tilting, adjust again the height of the laser tube.
Move on to the manual of “optical axis adjustment reflection mirror” keeping this state.
