Step 8:
After your software is installed, your Minilase™ System is ready to mark.
To enable the system, insert one of the supplied keys into the Key Start — “Laser
Enable” port on the front pendant. Turn the key to the RIGHT. Safety considerations
require a key to enable all Class I Laser Systems to emit laser light in order to mark.
If the key is not inserted and in the “On” position — you will be unable to mark.
To protect the system from unauthorized use, remove the key and store it in a
safe location.
Step 9:
The laser will now enable. The next step is to open the door of your system,
access the lens cover and remove it. To open the door, press the buttons labeled
“Door Open/Close” on the operator pendant.
NOTE: If you purchased a Minilase™ MANUAL unit, use the in-set handle on the
lower edge of the door to access the marking platform. Make sure the door opens
and closes smoothly with no obstructions before proceeding to Step 10.
Step 10:
Reach up inside the Minilase™ and remove the plastic lens cap located on
the inside roof panel. After doing this, you’ll notice two red laser pointing beams
being emitted onto the T-Slot work surface. One of these red beams is emitted
through the lens, while the 2
nd
red beam is emitted from another open area next to
the lens. These two aiming beams are used in conjunction to focus the laser system,
which will be discussed later.
Step 8: Turn key right to the ON position.
Step 9: Press DOOR OPEN/CLOSE button.
