3. Language
Click "Language" on the menu
at the top
to select the language you need.
5. Set picture parameters, engraving mode and
engraving quality.
1. LaserGRBL can adjust the sharpness, brightness, contrast, highlight and other properties of the target graph. We
can preview window effect during adjustment, and adjust the effect to your satisfaction.
2. In the engraving mode, "Line-to-line Tracking" and "1Bit Shaking" can usually be chosen;"1Bit Shaking" is more
suitable for carving grayscale graph. Please Choose "Vector Diagram" or "Center Line" if you need cutting.
3. Engraving quality essentially refers to the line width of laser scanning. This parameter mainly depends on the
size of the laser spot of the engraving machine.
Note: The recommended engraving quality range is 12-15. Different materials have different reactions to laser
irradiation, so the specific value depends on the specific engraving material.
4. At the bottom of the preview window, the graph can also be rotated, mirrored, cut and so on.
After completing the above settings, click next to enter the settings of engraving speed, engraving energy, and
engraving size.

4. Load Engraving File
Click "File" and "Open File" in turn, as shown
in figure 8.1, and then select the graph you
want to engrave. LaserGRBL supports files in
the formats of NC, BMP, JPG, PNG, etc.

6. Set engraving speed, engraving energy,and
engraving size
1. The recommended engraving speed is 1000, which is considered to be a relative appropriate value
after repeated experiments. Of course, you can increase or decrease this speed according to your preference. A
faster engraving speed will save time but lead to the decline in the engraving effect. Slower speed is the opposite.
2. In laser mode, there are two instructions: M3 and M4. M4 instruction is recommended for engraving in "1bit
jitter" mode, and M3 instruction is recommended for other cases. If you have only M3 instruction on the laser,
please check whether the laser mode is used in the GRBL configuration. Please refer to the official instructions of
LaserGRBL for GRBL configuration.
3. Choice of engraving energy. Choose it according to different materials.
4. Finally, set the size and click the "Create" button to complete the setting of all engraving parameters.
The default engraving speed is
1000 and can be adjusted as required
Set the energy value. Improper
energy will affect the engraving effect
Enter the size of the graph you
want to engrave
Save GCODE file
Click "File" in the menu at the top of the software interface, enter the drop-down menu, and select "Save". Copy
the saved .nc file to the TF card and insert the TF card into the engraver to use the file to engrave your work.
Use the "MKSLaserTool" software in TF to add preview codes to Gcode files.
TEST BEFORE USE
1. Turn on the machine, and connect it to the computer.
2. Movement test:
Control the machine to move up, down, left and right on the software, to check whether the direction and
distance are right.(Fig. A01)
3. Laser emission test:
Software import custom icons, then click to sent out laser(weak laser). Wear goggles and observe whether the
laser module emits blue light.(Fig. A02)
4. Test the files in the TF card:
Note: laser will generate heat and glare, which may cause harm. Please follow the instructions to avoid injury.

1. After the laser head has been used for a period of time, it is necessary to clean the lens of the light outlet
under the laser head to ensure normal cutting ability
2. Wiping the lens must be done after the machine is powered off, otherwise the laser will hurt people
3. After wiping the lens, please dry it naturally for about 3-5 minutes and wait for the lens to dry before
powering it on, otherwise the light will cause the lens to break
