Troubleshooting 

Laser Not Turning On: 
First, make sure that the electrical outlet is working, plug in a lamp or phone charger to ensure that itis the 

machine and not the outlet. 

Check the simple stuff first 

1. Is the emergency stop button pressed?
2. Is the key in the machine and turned into the on position?
3. Is the cord plugged into the machine and electrical outlet?
4. Check to see if the chiller or water pump is working and flowing water throughout the tube. If 

nowater flow is detected by the machine, it will not fire. If you are using a water pump, make 

sureyour chiller bypass cable is plugged in.

5. Ensure that all the cabinet doors and machine hood is closed, our machines come withinterlocks 

to prevent the machine operating when the doors or hood are open.

6. Check to see if the exhaust fan is on and working, the machine will not fire without it.

Machine is Turning on but Not Firing: 

The laser has multiple protection modes built in to prevent possible injuries or damage to the machine. 
Problems with any of these modes can prevent the machine from firing but, the laser head will still move 

around as if the machine is working correctly. 

X or Y Slop Over Error/ Frame Over Error: 
When running the “Frame” and/or “Start-Pause button, the slop/frame error message will appear only if the 

object(s)/ image(s) being executed on the worktable is overextending (too big or not enough space on the 
worktable for the file to be done). 

The File Is Starting at the Same Spot Every Time: 

In most cases, this happens when the “Origin” was accidently selected. To cancel the origin, press the “Z/U” 
key and cycle through the options until you see “Axis Reset+” is highlighted. Select it and then highlight over 

the “XY Axis Reset”. Once that is selected, the laser head will go to its home position and now the origin has 
been cancelled. To change the origin position, just move the laser head to your desired location, then press 

the “Origin” key again to set the origin. 

Hardware Troubleshooting

 

Water Chiller (CW-3000/CW-5000) 
If the water chiller alarm is going off (a beeping noise), it can be one of two reasons. #1) The waterline hoses 

are pinched so that the water cannot freely flow. #2) The water chiller does not have enough water #3) The 
temperature is either below or above the alarm levels. 

Air Compressor 

Use the regulator that is attached to the air compressor to adjust the amount of pressure being applied onto 
your material.
