4. Тохиргоо

The laser engraver and rotary axis are shipped in separate packages. Ensure both have arrived before proceeding.

4.1 Савлах ба байрлуулах

1. Бүх сав баглаа боодлын материалыг болгоомжтой авч хая. Тээвэрлэлтийн явцад машинд ямар нэгэн эвдрэл гарсан эсэхийг шалгана уу.
2. Place the laser engraver on a stable, level surface in a well-ventilated area.
3. Ensure sufficient space around the machine for proper airflow and access.

4.2 Water Cooling System Connection

Connect the external water pump (not included with all variants) to the inlet and outlet ports of the laser tube. Fill the water reservoir with distilled water. Ensure water circulates freely and there are no leaks. The machine has a built-in water protection sensor that prevents laser firing if water flow is insufficient.
