Steps
- Place a cloth under the laser head, resting on the blades. This will catch any pieces that may fall.
- Using a 2mm Allen key, loosen the set screw on the autofocus assembly. Do not remove the screw.
- Unscrew the autofocus sensor pin, and carefully remove it.
📌 Note: Be careful not to let the red flag piece fall from the autofocus assembly. If it does, simply return it to the assembly, with the hole positioned inside the assembly.
- While holding the red flag piece in place with one hand, screw the new autofocus pin into place.
- Using a 2mm Allen key, tighten the set screw on the autofocus assembly. Do not over-tighten.
📌 Note: Do not over-tighten the set screw. Turn it slowly until it is snug, then unscrew it by 1/4 of a turn.
- Press the plunger up with your finger to ensure that it moves smoothly up and down.
- To ensure that the pin is seated correctly, power on the machine and watch that the red light turns on.
