To set up the hardware for this tutorial, follow these steps:
1 Print the measurement template provided on page 4-21.
NOTE Be sure that you do not change the size of the drawing when you print it.
The page size is 8.5” x 11 inches.
2 Place the copy of the measurement template on your work surface. Then
place the straightedge on top of it along the line indicated.
3 Place the laser head on the measurement template so that its two front
feet are on the circles on the template.
Make sure the straightedge extends at least 225 mm (9 inches) in front of
the laser head.
