Laser Operation and Safety
Unplug the laser from the back of the machine to turn it off.
Be sure the laser is attached to the machine and pointed downward toward the table before connecting
it to the port. Never point it in a direction that would project the beam into someone’s eyes. If the laser
should stop working, ensure the plug is firmly seated into the Amara laser port.
Laser Focus and Image Size
Focus the laser by turning the threaded housing surrounding the lens clockwise or counterclockwise.
The laser image can be adjusted to project a bigger or smaller dot, or focal size. The direction of rotation
needed is determined by the distance of the laser from the pantograph surface. Experiment by rotating
the threaded end to achieve your desired focal size.
Laser Safety
When using the laser stylus, observe the following basic safety precautions.
• Never shine directly into the eyes.
• The laser stylus should never be left on and unattended.
• Do not use the laser stylus as a toy.
• Pay close attention when the laser stylus is being used by or near children or pets.
• Use the laser stylus only for its intended use as described in this manual.
NOTE: If you can’t see the threaded housing, the lens may be threaded too far into the laser body.
You will need to use a large slotted screwdriver to turn it counter clockwise until the housing is
visible. You can then rotate it with your fingertips to bring the light into focus. Be very careful to not
scratch the lens when using the screwdriver.

CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified
