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.
