NOTICE: *It is stated that your device is not Waterproof. Please inspect your device to confirm you have no manufacturer defects. Keep in mind to safeguard your Laser Guide.

How to Instructions
Follow these instructions for the Laser Guide for installation and then watch the video below to continue on-screen for your Optimum CNC Software Offset settings.
1. Loosen the 6 screws from your Optimum Plasma Table's Torch Holster that is clamping your torch. Set your mechanized torch to the side.
2. Remove the Torch Holster Front Face you currently have installed on the Optimum Plasma Table. Set it to the side along with your screws.
3. Unbox your NEW Aluminum Laser Guide Front Face and mount it onto your Z-Axis base plate. Insert your Mechanized Torch into the Torch Clamp & Rack Hole (shown in diagram below). Locate the (6) screws you have and lock them into place, making sure you have 7.5" inches from the bottom of the torch holster down to the tip of the Torch. The longer screws will lock the Torch Holster onto the backplate.
4. Unbox your Laser Sight and unscrew the "button end" cap of the Laser Sight.
5. Install LR41 batteries facing downwards with the (+) Positive end of the battery facing up towards the button end. The Negative face of each battery should face the laser end of the casing. The battery's engraved inscriptions should be facing towards the button end of the laser. Make sure to remove the film plastic holding the batteries together.
6. Place and screw the cap back onto the laser casing.
7. Insert the Laser Sight into the Laser Mount hole (shown in the diagram below).
8. The Laser Guide will not be flush to the aluminum block. This is to allow for laser removal and ON/OFF button access. The ON/OFF button works like a clicking pen. Press the button until it clicks and the Laser will power ON. Press the button again until it clicks, to power OFF.
9. Maintain your Aluminum Laser Guide by inspecting it ever so often keeping the block clean as well as keeping any opening free and clear of debris or gunk that may obstruct the laser's path.
10. Important: Avoid Direct Eye Exposure to the Laser. Turn OFF your Laser when not in use.

Functions
Follow the Diagram above to see the labeled numbers that apply:
( 1 ) TORCH CLAMP REAR: THE REAR CLAMP IS NOT INCLUDED IN PURCHASE. YOUR PLASMA TABLE HAS THIS PART INSTALLED.Your Plasma Table has this part installed. The Torch & Rack Clamp Rear is the backside of a 2-piece clamp for largest opening on the Aluminum Laser Guide Mount. It keeps the Torch steady and locked in place. Remember to set the torch at a 7.5″ inch distance from the bottom of the torch holster to the tip of the mechanized torch.
( 2 ) TORCH CLAMP FRONT FACE: The Torch & Rack Clamp Front Face is the frontside of a 2-piece clamp for the largest opening on the Aluminum Laser Guide Mount. It keeps the Torch steady and locked in place. Remember to set the torch at a 7.5″ inch distance from the bottom of the torch holster to the tip of the mechanized torch.
( 3 ) TORCH RACK: When installing your torch please make sure the Torch Rack on the backside of your Mechanized Torch tucks into this Torch Rack pocket of the Torch Holster. If your Mechanized torch foes not have a backside rack, please disregard this itemized point.
( 4 ) TORCH HOLSTER: The Torch Holster is the Matte Aluminum finished block that clamps, keeping the Mechanized torch locked and in place. The Laser Guide also sports STV®CNC’s New Iconic “S” Insignia on the front.
( 5 ) LASER MOUNT: The Laser Mount is the opening where the Laser Sight sits into. Remember to inspect the openings ever so often to keep the upper and lower hole openings free and clear or any gunk or debris so that it does not obstruct the laser’s path.
( 6 ) MOUNTING SCREWS: THE FASTENERS ARE NOT INCLUDED IN PURCHASE. YOUR PLASMA TABLE HAS THESE PART INSTALLED. The Torch Holster fastens down with (6) mounting screws. You will notice your longer screws lock into the backplate.
( 7 ) INSIGNIA: The Torch Clamp Front is engraved in-house with the New STV®CNC “S” Icon Insignia.
( 8 ) LASER SIGHT: (Included, but not shown in Diagram) The Laser Sight is a mini laser device unit to be set into the Laser Mount Opening and direct the Laser path down onto the work area working parallel to the Mechanized Torch.
( 9 ) BATTERIES: (Included, but not shown in Diagram) Your Laser Guide uses LR41 Batteries. To save battery power, use the laser guide as needed always remembering to turn OFF your Laser sight when not in use.
( 10 ) FINISH: The Laser Guide is machined in-house & burred to a matte aluminum finish.
( 11 ) LASER EXIT: Keep Laser away from eye exposure. The Laser Guide will emit a solid red dot laser from the bottom end of the block down towards the material you will be cutting, helping alignment & position (For more benefits, See Features Above).
FAQ
Do I need additional software or hardware?
No additional software or hardware is required. If you can draw a design and cut it, you can draw a design and scribe it with nothing more than an EasyScriber.
Will it work with a magnetic breakaway?
Yes, will work with magnetic breakaways unless the magnets are weak. The side loading of the torch during scribing operations is very minimal and very similar to lightly dragging your plasma nozzle across the material.
Will this work with a Powermax 45?
Yes, Easyscriber does make a model specifically for the original Powermax 45 which can be found here Powermax 45 The newer Powermax 45XP scribe is different and will not work on the original 45. Please speak with your STVCNC® team member to get this ordered if needed.
What if I had a Standard Torch Type prior and have upgraded my Cutting System to a 125 Torch Type?
If you have upgraded from a 45/65/85/105 Standard or SYNC® Mechanized Torch to a 125 Mechanized Torch Type, please call us 1-855-974-4413, as you will require the rear side of the torch holster clamp to correctly grip your wider 125 Mechanized Torch.
Will it work on my Hypertherm 600, 1250?
If you are using the Duramax torch upgrade, yes it will work. If you are unsure what torch you are using, look at the part number on your electrodes. If your electrode part number is 220842 then it will work.
Will it work with auto torch height control?
Automatic digital torch height controls require arc voltage to function. Since there is no arc when scribing THC is not used, you will set a working height in your control software.
What is the best speed for scribing?
100ipm works well on any material but you can go as slow or as fast as you like. Slower speeds will produce more defined results.
How can I make my scribes more defined?
Setting a lower working height and compressing the tip more will produce more defined lines. Techniques like hatch line fills, double lines, and using milling tool paths are other techniques to increase definition.
Do you have a scribe for Everlast plasma?
Easyscriber currently does not offer a scribe for the Everlast plasma cutters. Easyscriber does offer a universal scribe that can be adapted to fit any machine if you fabricate a custom holder for it.
Do you have a scribe for routers or mills?
Yes, Easyscriber offers a universal scribe with a straight .500″ body that can installed on a router or mill in a .500″ collet. This scribe can be found here Universal Scribe. Speak to your STVCNC® Team Member to have this item ordered if needed.
How long do the diamond tips last?
Tip life depends on the materials you are scribing, but in general you can expect approximately 300 hours of service life on each tip. Speak to your STVCNC® Team Member to have “Replacement tips” ordered if needed.
