Note: If the connection cable included in the rotary attachment pack is incompatible with xTool F1, you need to purchase a compatible one.

Note: There are three groups of marking lines on the base of xTool F1.

• If you use the rotary attachment in Roller mode and set it to Level A, align its front bottom edge to Group 1 marking lines on the xTool F1 base.

• If you use the rotary attachment in Roller mode and set it to Level B, align its front bottom edge to Group 2 marking lines on the xTool F1 base.

• If you use the rotary attachment in Roller mode and set it to Level C or use the Chuck mode, align its front bottom edge to Group 3 marking lines on the xTool F1 base.

There are two processes available for the following steps.

To design a pattern and set parameters from scratch, please follow the procedure of "Option 1".

To use a previously saved project, please follow the procedure of "Option 2".

Note：

• Supported materials of blue laser: black alumina, metal name card, rock coaster, acrylic, aluminum sheet, wood, corrugated paper, cobblestone, etc.
• Supported materials of infrared laser: black alumina, metal name card, rock coaster, acrylic, aluminum sheet, copper sheet, stainless steel, etc.

(3) Select the working mode of the rotary attachment.

Note: If you turn the knob clockwise, the laser module will move up, and the red light spot will move toward the left. If you turn the knob counterclockwise, the laser module will move down, and the red light spot will move toward the right.

3. Preview the processing area

(2) Click Framing in the software or press the framing button on xTool F1 to start framing. The laser spot will move along the boundary of the processing pattern on the material so that you can preview the processing area.

By default, xTool F1 performs framing for all the elements to be processed.

The laser spot will move along the boundary of the selected elements, as illustrated by the following pictures.

• Default framing:
  
• Selected elements framing:
  

If the area is not ideal, you can adjust the element positions in XCS during framing. xTool F1 will adjust the framing area accordingly, allowing you to preview the processing area in real time.

Note: Before framing, pull down the protective enclosure and wear goggles that can shield laser beams of 455 nm and 1064 nm wavelengths.

Note: To stop framing, click Stop framing in the software or press the framing button on xTool F1.
