Use accessories
Slatted panel
To cut a material, you are advised to use the slatted panel. It can reduce the areas burned and protect the baseplate during
material processing.
L-shaped positioning piece
You can use the L-shaped positioning piece for batch processing. It helps you place materials in the same position for each
processing task.
Rotary attachment
Tips: No rotary attachment is included in the pack.
There are three marking lines on the base of xTool F2. Depending on the working mode and level setting of your rotary attachment, align its front bottom edge to the corresponding marking line.
For details about how to use xTool F2 with the rotary attachment, visit support.xtool.com/product/13 for reference.
Caution: Strictly follow the safety instructions to use xTool F2 with the rotary attachment. Set up a safety-controlled area under the guidance of the Laser Safety Officer (LSO), and take sufficient personal protective measures against laser risks.
Maintenance
Caution: Disconnect power before maintaining the product.
Clean the field lens
When laser power attenuation occurs, for example, engraved patterns are shallow or materials can't be cut as expected, the field lens may get dirty. Clean it with the lint-free cloth moistened with alcohol.
Clean the fan module

Caution: The fan module can be rinsed with water, but do not soak it. Ensure it is completely dry before reinstalling.
4. Install the fan module back to the main unit.
Lubricate the protective enclosure
If you can't move the protective enclosure up and down smoothly, apply grease to the edges of the two sides.
Tips: For self-purchase, white lithium grease is recommended.
