And afterwards the laser itself. It is on the bottom right side of the laser with the round switch (labeled 'main switch'):

Also on the side panel there is the switch for the laser tube and the light switch. Only turn on the laser itself ('Laser switch') when needed.

2. Fasten Material

Next place the material and if its not heavy/flat enough, use the red/blue magnets and fixture onto the table.

Then use the focus-piece and place it between material top and laser bottom.
