7.2 Air Compressor Option

Specifically designed for laser engravers, the air compressor utilizes an oil-free diaphragm. The air
compressor helps eliminate harmful and potentially damaging moisture from the laser optics, maximizing
laser optic life. In addition the air compressor provides the optimal air flow to the SmartAIR nozzles to

minimize flaming, suppress working temperatures, and blow away dust and particle byproducts generated

from the laser process.

1/4" Air Inlet Tubing

Power Cord A

Power Cord B

INSTALLATION:

1) Remove the plugs on the air compressor to expose the air inlets.
2) Fasten the included air tube fastener valve to the outgoing air inlet (indicated by 2a) and the air

filter into the ingoing air inlet (indicated by 2b).
