With your laser cutter unboxed and placed in its permanent work space we can now assemble it.
This is a simple process that should take less than half an hour to complete. The following stages
will be described in detail.
Assembly Stages:
1. Remove the Zip Ties
2. Connect the Exhaust
3. Assemble the Water Pump
4. Assemble the Air Compressor (Recommended)
5. Connect Power
6. Connect the Ethernet Cable
7. Install RetinaEngrave Software
In addition, you will need the following tools and accessories (not included with your machine
purchase):
1. 35 gallons of distilled water
2. A five gallon bucket
3. Small scissors
4. Aluminum Tape
5. Ducting Tube
6. Exhaust Fan (recommended)
7. Internet connection (to download software)
Assembly Stage One: Remove Zip Ties
To secure the machine during shipping, zip ties are used to hold the X belt, the Y belts and the
laser head. These must be removed before operating your laser cutter for the first time.
REMOVE ZIP TIE STEPS:
1. Locate Zip Ties.
There are a total of four (4) zip ties that need to be cut and removed. One
is located on the laser head, one is located on the X belt and the last two are located on the
left and right Y belts.
2. Cut and Remove Four (4) Zip Ties.
Using a small pair of scissors (nail cutters work
remarkably well), carefully cut and remove all four (4) zip ties listed above. DO NOT cut the
zip ties on the laser tube itself. Be aware that the glass laser tube is extremely fragile. Be
careful NOT to damage any part of the machine during this process.
