Assembly Stage Four: Assemble the Air Compressor (Recommended)
Air is used as a pressurized gas to assist in cutting and engraving operations. This pressurized air
is critical to safe and efficient cutting operations as it not only helps cut through material more
quickly, but also helps prevent the formation of flames. A lowflow air compressor for vector cutting
gas assist is available as an optional accessory at

If you choose to attach your laser to
a 3rd party air compressor, make sure to use at least one stage of air
drying and air cleaning (5 micron filter recommended) and limit the input
pressure to no more than 30 psi. Lowquality compressed air can damage
your focus lens.
