Note:
- Software Selection: AtomStack Studio and LightBurn are recommended; download the AtomStack APP for mobile.
- Engraving Area: When using AtomStack Studio, selecting the corresponding machine model will automatically generate the correct engraving area. When connecting with LightBurn, you need to manually modify the engraving area (300mm*300mm) or import the configuration file provided on the TF card. Please refer to the Swift Configuration File Import Video.

- Confirm Operating System: If using a MAC system, you cannot plug the Type-C cable directly into a C port; you must connect it to an A port via a docking station/hub.
- Type-C Cable Selection: Using a non-original Type-C cable or one that only supports charging may result in connection failure. Ensure you use a Type-C cable that supports data transfer.

Note:
- Laser focusing uses the focus block located on the bottom side of the laser module.
Note:
- The laser module is secured using an L-shaped thumb screw, making focal length adjustments more convenient and quicker. Note that if the thumb screw is blocked by the optical shaft, you can pull the handle outward to rotate its orientation.

Note: The Swift laser module itself is not equipped with an air assist nozzle and cannot be used with air assists other than the F40. The F40 air assist comes with nozzles for both the 7W and 12W laser modules, which need to be installed manually.
¶ 6. Swift Rotary Roller Connection
Refer to the Swift Rotary Roller Connection and Usage Video.

Note:
- Rotary Selection: Swift requires threaded riser feet, so the R6, R8, and R8 PRO rotary rollers are recommended. Insert the provided USB connection cable into the Accessory port on the machine for automatic recognition. Note that if you are using the R1, R1 Pro, R2, R3 Pro, R1-B, or R2-B, you must turn off the machine power, unplug the Y-axis motor cable, and then connect it using the sequence connection cable. (Warning: Before performing this step, ensure the device is completely powered off to prevent damage from short circuits). Additionally, the riser feet provided with the first-generation R1, R1 Pro, R2, and R3 Pro rotary rollers are not compatible; you can use 4 objects of the same height to pad the four feet of the Swift.

Note:
- AtomStack Software Configuration: When using AtomStack Studio, you need to select the recognized device. The rotary roller (R6) does not require parameter settings, while the chuck rotary (R8) requires you to set the material's circumference or diameter.
Note:
- LightBurn Configuration: When using LightBurn, rotary parameters must be configured. You need to modify the rotary type (choose Roller for R6, Chuck for R8) and set the rotary axis to the Y-axis. Parameters need to be set accordingly. For the R8 (Chuck), set the rotation to 160 mm per rotation (fixed value) and enter either the material diameter or circumference. For the R6 (Roller), set the rotation to 50 mm per rotation (fixed value), the roller diameter to 16mm (fixed value), and enter either the material diameter or circumference.
¶ 7. Swift Focal Length Adjustment
Refer to the Swift Laser Focal Length Adjustment Video.

Note: The laser module comes with a focus knob. When adjusting the focal length, twist it all the way in the direction of the arrow. Once the highest point of the focus knob touches the material surface, secure the laser module height, and twist the focus knob back to complete the focusing process. Note that the adjusted focal length is 4mm.
¶ 8. How to Adjust Swift Laser L-shaped Thumb Screw When Blocked
Refer to the Swift Laser Focal Length Adjustment Video.
Note: When the L-shaped thumb screw is blocked, you can pull the L-shaped handle outward to rotate its direction.
¶ 9. Software Coordinate System Introduction
- Current Position: Uses the current location of the laser module as the engraving starting point. You can freely move the laser by hand to the desired engraving location.
- User Origin: The user manually sets the starting position for the laser operation. Refer to the Origin Setup Video.
- Absolute Coordinates: Uses the 0,0 coordinate from homing as the starting point, and the material's coordinates as the starting position for the laser operation.
