Health & Safety

1. PRECAUTIONS

Step	Description
	1.	If you are not going to use the computer in the Fab Lab, install the Epilog drivers in your computer (you can reach the machine inside the Fab Lab network).
	2.	Turn on the main fume extractor in the big laser cutter switch panel.
3.	Turn on the small air compressor on the left hand side of the machine.
4.	Turn on the laser cutter (left side of the machine).
5.	Turn on the pc desktop and the monitor of the Lab connected to the laser machine.
6.	Make sure the material you want to use is in the 'Materials and configuration' list. If it is not there, ask the Fab Lab responsible.
7.	Measure the size of your material board. If it doesn’t fit into the board of the laser machine ask the Fab Lab responsible for cutting the correct format.

2. FILE SETTINGS

Step	Description
	1.	Open dxf, 3dm, or compatible file with Rhino.
	2.	Select the curves and hatches and put them in separate layers.
3.	Choose the correct colour for every operation (Cutting, Engraving, Raster E.).
4.	Select all objects and make sure that they are displayed by layer on properties.
5.	From your vector editing software, once you are ready for printing and if you already installed the driver, press Ctrl+P or select ‘Print’.
6.	Select ‘Epilog Engraver 75’ from the printer list and go to ‘Printer settings’ or ‘Properties’.
7.	The laser cutter driver interface should appear. Here you can set-up the laser’s power and speed according to how the vector paths in your drawing are organized (you can also print raster images).

3. PRINT SETTINGS:

Step	Description
	1.	For a vector job, In the 'General' tab, under 'Job type' select 'Vector'.
	2.	Set the size of the material sheet under 'Piece Size'.
3.	Set to 'Vector sorting' and 'Optimize'.
4.	In the 'Color mapping' tab select the check box 'Color mapping'. You should have organized your drawing in different colors if you need to do different types of jobs (for example raster, engraving and cutting).
5.	Once this is activated, you can set the power, the speed, and other parameters for every single color in your drawing. Take a look at the 'Materials and configuration' list above for the proper power/speed values according to the material you are using.
6.	Send parameters with the double arrow.
7.	The list order determines the execution sequence of every type of job. You should always engrave first and cut later. You can change the order by selecting a color and pressing the up and down arrows.
8.	Once you are done with this configuration, press 'OK'.
9.	For a raster job, In the 'General' tab, under 'Job type' select ‘Raster’. For both jobs select ‘Combined’ and follow the steps form 2 to 8.
10.	Set the Scale 1:1 (100%) and set the window moving it to the correct point in the drawing. You should see the parts that you want to cut/engrave fitting the material in the preview.
11.	Finalize the process with 'Print' and the file will be sent to the laser cutter.

4. MACHINE:

Step	Description
	1.	Open the hood and place the material on the metal bed without hitting the cutting head.
	2.	If the material you use is to thick you should lower the bed pressing X/Y OFF and bring the bed to the desired Z position by pressing the 'up' and 'down' arrows.
3.	Turn on the laser pointer Puntero’.
4.	Set the machine head to the origin by pressing 'Restaur.' and focus the laser by pressing 'Enfocar' and 'GO/Entra'.
5.	Put tape on the corners and where is needed, if necessary. Close the hood.
6.	If you already sent the job to the machine you will see 'Job:job name' in the display.
7.	Pressing the up and down arrows will allow you to select the different jobs stored in the machine.
8.	Press 'GO/Entra' to start cutting/engraving.
9.	Press 'STOP/Salir' if something burns inside the machine or the material moves from its original position.
10.	Don't leave the machine unattended.
