1. 第一步：設定 (Step 1: Setting)
此步驟涉及準備機器和工件，包含開啟電源、牢固地固定材料，
This step involves preparing the machine and the workpiece. This includes powering on, securing the material, and installing the correct tool.
| 步驟 (Step) | 中文說明 (Chinese Description) | English Description |
| 1. 開啟電源 (Power On) | 開啟雕刻機主機的電源。 | Turn on the main power of the engraving machine. |
| 2. 固定工件 (Fastening Workpiece) | 將要加工的材料（工件）牢固地固定在機器的檯面上， |
Securely fasten the workpiece to the machine table to prevent movement during machining, which is critical for accuracy and tool life. |
| 3. 安裝刀具 (Tool Installation) | 遵循兩步驟流程安裝刀具：<br>1. 將刀具安裝到筒夾 (collet) 中。<br>2. 使用扳手將整個筒夾組件鎖緊在主軸 (spindle) 上。<br><br>指導提示： 為確保刀具穩固置中， |
Follow the two-step process for tool installation:<br>1. Install the tool into the collet.<br>2. Use a wrench to install the entire collet assembly onto the spindle.<br><br>Instructor Tip: Ensure no debris is in the collet or on the spindle threads before tightening to guarantee a secure and centered tool. Always wear safety glasses during this procedure. |
機器與工件都準備就緒後，下一步是啟動系統並設定加工的原點。 | With the machine and workpiece prepared, the next step is to start the system and set the origin point for machining.

2. 第二步：啟動與歸零 (Step 2: Startup & Zeroing)
這是一個關鍵步驟，
This is a crucial step that involves homing the machine to establish a known, fixed reference point, and then defining the starting point (origin) for the job on the X, Y, and Z axes.
| 步驟 (Step) | 中文說明 (Chinese Description) | English Description |
| 1. 機器歸位 (Homing) | 開啟電源並等待系統啟動完成，然後按下歸位 (Homing) <img src=”https://i.imgur.com/ |
Power on and wait for the system to complete startup, then press the Homing <img src=”https://i.imgur.com/ |
| 2. 設定 XY 軸原點 (Set XY-Axis Origin) | 使用手動操作控制，將主軸移動到工件上您希望的加工起始點。按下 SET ZERO <img src=”https://i.imgur.com/ |
Using the jog controls, move the spindle to the desired starting point on the workpiece. Press SET ZERO <img src=”https://i.imgur.com/ |
| 3. 設定 Z 軸原點 (Set Z-Axis Origin) | 將對刀塊 (Tool Touch Off Puck) 放在工件平坦的表面上。在系統中選擇 PROBE <img src=”https://i.imgur.com/ |
Place the Tool Touch Off Puck on a flat, stable part of the workpiece. Select PROBE <img src=”https://i.imgur.com/ |
| 4. Z 軸原點 (替代方法) (Z-Axis Origin (Alternative)) | 若沒有對刀塊，可使用一張 A4 紙手動設定。將紙放在工件上，緩慢下降 Z 軸直到刀具輕觸紙張（拉動紙張有輕微阻力時）。在螢幕上點擊 Z 軸座標使其反黃，然後按下 SET ZERO <img src=”https://i.imgur.com/ |
For users without a Tool Touch Off Puck, A4 paper is acceptable. Place the paper on the workpiece and slowly lower the Z-axis until the tool touches the paper (slight resistance is felt when pulling the paper). Click the Z-axis coordinate on the screen to highlight it, then press SET ZERO <img src=”https://i.imgur.com/ |
設定好加工起點後，我們就可以載入要雕刻的設計檔案了。 | Now that the starting point is set, we can load the design file for carving.
——————————
3. 第三步：讀取檔案 (Step 3: Read File)
此步驟說明如何從 USB 隨身碟將加工檔案（G-code）載入到控制器中。
This step covers loading a machining file (G-code) from a USB drive into the controller. This two-step process first copies the file to the machine’s internal storage for faster access, and then loads it into the active memory for execution.
| 步驟 (Step) | 中文說明 (Chinese Description) | English Description |
| 1. 插入 USB (Insert USB) | 將存有 G-code 檔案的 USB 隨身碟插入機器的 USB 連接埠。 | Insert the USB drive containing your G-code file into the machine’s USB port. |
| 2. 傳輸檔案 (Transfer File) | 按下 OPEN <img src=”https://i.imgur.com/ |
Press OPEN <img src=”https://i.imgur.com/ |
| 3. 載入檔案 (Load File) | 回到主畫面，按下 LOAD FILE <img src=”https://i.imgur.com/ |
Return to the home screen, press LOAD FILE <img src=”https://i.imgur.com/ |
| 4. 確認預覽 (Confirm Preview) | 等待加工路徑的預覽圖形顯示在螢幕上， |
Please wait for the machining path preview to appear on the screen and verify that it matches your design. |
檔案已成功載入，最後一步就是開始加工了。 | The file is now loaded, and the final step is to begin the machining process.
——————————
4. 第四步：加工 (Step 4: Machining)
這是最後一個步驟，機器將執行已載入的檔案。在此階段，
This is the final step where the machine executes the loaded file. Safety and monitoring are critical during this phase.
| 步驟 (Step) | 中文說明 (Chinese Description) | English Description |
| 1. 啟動集塵 (Activate Dust Collection) | 在開始加工前，請務必啟動集塵系統。 | Be sure to activate the dust collection system before starting the job. |
| 2. 開始加工 (Start Machining) | 確認所有設定無誤後，按下 CYCLE START <img src=”https://i.imgur.com/ |
Once everything is confirmed, press the CYCLE START <img src=”https://i.imgur.com/ |
| 3. 監控與急停 (Monitor & Stop) | 在加工過程中，請隨時注意機器的運作狀況，並熟悉以下安全操作： |
During the process, monitor the machine and be prepared to take these critical safety actions:<br>* Be Ready to Reset: During the first run, keep your fingers near the RESET <img src=”https://i.imgur.com/ |
