Thunder Laser Machines Power ON or OFF

Switching the machine on and off correctly is one of the most important aspects of maintaining the machine, which helps to prolong its life.

Switching the machine on and off correctly also prevents problems such as failed axis resets and machine communication failures from occurring.

The following conditions must be fulfilled for correct power: 

1. Unrestricted freedom of motion of the mechanics. 

2. No materials under the engraving table. 

3. Protection covers are closed. 

4. Please note that do not press the 'ESC' button during the reset process.

E-Stop Switch

All Thunder machines are equipped with an E-stop switch; press it immediately in case of any emergency.
