Buyer use the machine must be in strict accordance with this manual. We do not support
any other using methods.
This machine is only designed for the surface engraving of plastics, bamboo and timber,
and non-ferrous soft metal, so the application with other purposes may damage it;
Before using this machine, one must wear protective goggles, to avoid the damage from
scrapping eruptions;
Do not try to disassemble the machine or electric cabinet for reconstruction or fixing,
otherwise it is not under warranty;
Please pay attention to the electricity safety as other electric appliances, use ratified
standard voltage, and make sure that its electrical grounding is safe;
Do not place the machine in moist or dusty environment, and do not let children get close
to or touch it;
Timely cleaning and periodic maintenance can keep the engraving machine in good
operating state, and also lengthen its service life;
This engraving machine is a mechatronics processing tool, so operators should grasp
relative professional knowledge to be proficient in using this machine;
This manual only provides instructions to the application environment and operation
requirements of this machine, while not involving other professional knowledge that relate
to control computer, software, and materials. Please ask for help from your suppliers if you
have any problems in these aspects.
Import engraving code to the control software Mach3, send out command to the
engraving machine after passing through the code, and then the engraving machine will
start to operate.

OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
This is the power switch, when pressed , the control box , stepper motor drives and cooling fan start
to working;
This is the spindle control mode switch, H - Manually control ; M - MACH3 control;
This is the spindle motor power switch, when pressed, the spindle motor will be in standby mode.
whatever H or M mode, this switch must be pressed so that the spindle can be working.
This is the spindle motor speed control knob, used only on H-mode. (Note: This machine spindle
speed is up to 11000r / min, So when engraving most materials, spindle speed must be adjusted to the
maximum ,so that to play max performance of spindle. If speed is lower, the torque will be smaller, it'll
be easier leads to cutting-tool breakage.)
This is the EMERGENCY STOP, Its uses equivalent to MACH3 software "Reset" button.
2-1-2. Check the USB cable is connected, Power Switch"ON", Start up MACH3 software.
If the "E-STOP" button is flashing, then click it with mouse, It will become static and not flashing;
Now, click "X+" button.
spindle will move to X+ direction, the X-axis coordinate values will be changed.
the displayed value is spindle traveled distance. You also can try to click other direction button to control
axis moving.
Important information:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------1. Click "Jog Mode" buttion, this will change movement.
"Cont" = continuous operation,
"STEP" = single-step operation, means each time only move 1 step.
Click "Cycle Jog Step" buttion,
you can select a distance for single-step operation, such as 1mm,0.1mm, or 0.01mm.
2.The following is the reference drawing of the triaxial coordinate definition provided by us. During the
process of trial run, if we found the running direction of the axis is incorrect, we can change the "Dir
LowActive" in the "Motor Outputs" of MACH3 to adjust it.
This coordinate definition is just a usual definition mode of us, which is for reference only; in practice, you
can change the definition in accordance with your habit and the specific situation of design software.
If your engraving machine still cannot be controlled regularly, please solve this problem by
the following methods:
If you use WIN8 or WIN10 operating system or USB3.0, then do not try it. Please replace
the computer in order to meet the requirements.
The USB cable into a different USB port on your computer, try again.
If three step motors cannot self-locking after the control box is electrified, please contact
with your dealer in time.
First, tighten the spindle collet nut, Press the 'POWER' switch;
Toggle to H-mode;
Press 'SPINDLE' switch, the spindle will be running in low-speed;
Slowly Adjust "speed knob" by clockwise , the spindle speed is increasing.
Note: The higher the speed, the greater the spindle torque. due to the maximum spindle speed is only
11000 rpm, so when we engraving either plastic or wood, must use maximum speed (melted materials
like foam or wax can be appropriate to reduce the speed). The lower the speed, the smaller the cutting
torque. If we are inexperience setting the cutting depth and feeding speed, that's easily lead to spindle
motor to stalling, and causing circuit to damage.
when we want to stop the spindle, first we should adjust the "speed knob" back to zero, and then turn off
the 'SPINDLE' switch.
2-2-2.Mach3 control spindle
Running MACH3 software,Press the 'POWER' switch.
Switching to 'M'-mode.
Press 'SPINDLE' switch.
Click "Spindle CW F5" button to running spindle; now it is the highest speed.
Drag the 'green bar'
'Load G-code' button, locate and open the "Test G.txt" file;
If you get problem when learning this chapter, please contact your dealer and tell him you got problem
on which step . If all goes well, you can learn next chapter.
3-2.Tool setting
"Tool setting" means that after clamping the materials, move the cutter to the initial position set by the
program and the surface of the materials to be engraved; at the beginning of learning engraving,
because we are not familiar with the concept of coordinate, we should set all the initial points of
engraving at the center of the material.
1.First, we operate the XY axis through manual control, and move the principal axis close to the initial
point; Install a flat base pointed knifePJ3-3002.
2.Turn off the power switch of electric cabinet (the phase step motor will not be self-locked when the
power is cut off), and then slowly wring the hand wheels for fine control on three stepping motor, to move
3-3.Load G-code:TEST_120X70X0.5_3002.nc
3-4.Ready to engrave
1) .Three-axis coordinate zero. (very important!)
2). Spindle control mode is set to H,Turn on the Power and Spindle, and set the revolution
to the maximum speed.
3). Click Cycle Start of the Mach3 and the machine starts to engrave.
4). After the engraving, turn off the spindle button of the control box. Switch of speed button to 0.
Raise the Z axis and move backward the Y axis. That makes the spindle to leave the work area.
Turning on the POWER switch on the control box, and clicking the "Tool Setting" button in the MACH3,
Z axis may slowly decline. When the tool tip touches the surface of the tool setting gauge, it may
immediately stop, and then automatically return upward 10mm.
Take away the tool setting gauge, and then the tool setting is completed. Attention that the coordinate
data on the Z axis should not be zero at this time.
The application of engraving machine is easy, which can be summarized as: clamping
materials, tool setting, and engraving. However, just as operating the computer, some
people use computer just for entertainment, so it lacks of required skills; some people make
design for creation, so they make great efforts for it. Therefore, the same computer may
play different roles for people with different requirements. It is the same for the engraving
machine, because it is only a tool, and if you want it to play a more important role and
engrave better objects, you must have the ability to "send command" to it. The command
that can be executed by the engraving machine is called "processing code", and in order to
produce these "processing codes", you have to learn some software.
