Tips:
Compared with 12W and 22W laser modules, the laser beam of the 40W laser module can be adjusted by holding on the “Reset Button” for 2 seconds after power on. The indicator lights can indicate the current mode:
Two lights on (Normal): The maximum output power is 40W. It can cut thicker material and cut faster.
One light on (Precise): The maximum output power is 20W. It can engrave more precisely and leave a narrower kerf.

Notes:
1. Please ensure that the focal length of the laser module is correct and the lens of the laser module is clean when powered off (It can be clean with dustless cloth and alcohol).
2. The parameters are for reference only because the color of the material is different, and it will lead to a different effect. You can achieve a desired effect by adjusting the parameters:
- Generally, higher power or slower speed have a deeper effect;
- Lower power or faster speed have a shallower effect.
In addition, engraving on brushed stainless steel can achieve colorful effects by setting different parameters, but the oxidation degree of different materials is different, and slight differences in focal length and power will also affect the actual effect. It is recommended to do some tests on your material.
3. The bottom surface of the cutting place should be suspended (use a honeycomb worktable) when cutting. You should protect the workbench (such as using aluminum plates or other materials that are not easily penetrated by laser).
