We want to first perform a dry run to verify we will be engraving in the correct area. On the machine
press the magnifying glass to use the laser feature to outline a box around the area we will be engraving.
NOTE: Dry Run Operation - There is an offset between the spindle and the red laser pointer of
approximately 0.38 inches (9.6 mm) in the X and 0.44 inches (11.2 mm) in the Y directions. Therefore, if
the characters to be engraved extend beyond 7.56 inches (192 mm) X (to the right) and 5.62 inches
(142.7 mm) Y (toward the bottom) of the machine's home position, the file will not run because the
spindle would have to move beyond its limits.
When ready to engrave press the green play button on the touchscreen.
NOTE: keep hands and other loose objects away from the engraver during operation.
Press the Start Button on the engraver to begin the Dry Run. The Dry Run feature will automatically
activate the red dot laser pointer and show the user where the machine will engrave.
NOTE: If the spindle turns, or begins to drop toward the material, either press the Pause Button or the
Emergency Stop Button on the engraver. If either of these occur, make sure that Dry Run was selected
in the Cut Toolbox (shown as the letter "D") and that the spindle has not been turned on. The Spindle
icon on the Cut Toolbox is show below for reference.
If the file and material appear to be positioned properly and you are ready to engrave, select the Engrave
icon from the left toolbar, turn off the Dry Run option and check to make sure the Proximity.
