Clearing the crumb tray before you begin a print ensures it is cleared of debris that could potentially catch on fire. You start by opening the front of the laser, using the two black handles. Once open, you can pull out the crumb tray and empty it in the garbage. Put everything back and you’re good to go.

To focus the laser, first turn on the laser and insert your material. The ON switch is located on the bottom far left side. Once on, press Focus (button 6). You will be able to move the bed up and down by pressing the up/down arrows right next to the focus button. Put the focusing tool (found hanging on the right side of the machine) on the laser head, move the bed down or up until it just barely touches the focusing tool. Once it touches the focusing tool, move the bed down one (1) time.
