Red Dot Pointer
The Pointer setting allows for manually turning ON or OFF the Laser Diode Pointer
(Red Dot Pointer). This visible red beam is much like a hand held laser pointer, and
has a bright red beam. This beam allows the operator to visually note where the laser
is engraving or cutting. The Red Dot beam is potentially hazardous if it is directed
into the eye. When the Pointer is turned on, DO NOT place your head inside the
engraving area, as you may look into the beam. For additional information, please
refer to the Safety section of this manual.
Air Curtain
The air curtain is used for vector cutting applications where there is a need to keep
combustible gases away from the cutting surface. This helps to reduce charring,
scorching and flaming when vector cutting materials such as wood, rubber, acrylic,
and other flammable materials. The air curtain directs a constant stream of air across
the material surface at the point of burn, directing the air both down and back towards
the exhaust vent.
Vector cutting should never be performed without the use of the air curtain.
Air Curtain Pump
The air curtain pump can either be purchased
through your Epilog representative or you can
connect your existing air supply into the ¼
inch (6 mm) receptacle at the back of the
machine (60 PSI max).
The Air Curtain should always be activated
during vector cutting operations to reduce the
risk of fire!
Optional Air Curtain pump.
