Authorization for the laser is not viral, meaning you must seek out a Volunteer Authorizer. Please post on the Google Group email list or contact [email protected]; look for a recent thread about laser authorizations and post there.
Danger Committee folks from the other laser systems should consider themselves on the Danger Committee for this bad boy, too. Let's get this thing in regular rotation, stat!

=== Air assist===
* Turn on the air assist by flipping the switch dangling from the board behind the laser.
* Air assist is used for vector cutting to have nice traces and avoid your material to burn. However some people like to have it disabled for raster jobs.
* Turn air assist off when you've finished and you don't need it while doing your settings.
=== Water Trap ===
* Check the WATER TRAP adjacent to the regulator for accumulated water from time to time. Place a container (and maybe some paper towels) under the regulator and vent accumulated water from the bottom using the small petcock. If too much water accumulates in the regulator, it may flow through the air hose and into the machine, spraying onto the bed/material.
