Select a wooden board with a suitable thickness and size for your design. Place it flat on the laser bed and make sure it stays within the machine’s working area.

Before processing, wipe the surface with a soft cloth to remove dust, fingerprints, or loose particles. If the board is slightly warped, use magnets or pins to secure the corners and keep the material stable during engraving and cutting.

Open your laser software, such as LaserMaker, and import the key wall hanger design file.

Adjust the engraving and cutting parameters according to the recommended settings for your material and machine. Once everything is ready, send the file to the laser machine.

Set the laser focus to the surface of the wood before starting the job. Proper focus helps produce cleaner engraving details and smoother cutting edges. An incorrect focus may result in uneven engraving or incomplete cuts.

Before processing, use the frame function to preview the engraving and cutting area. This helps confirm that the design is correctly positioned on the material.

Once everything is aligned, start the cutting process. Stay nearby while the machine is running and make sure ventilation is working properly throughout the job.

After processing is complete, remove the finished parts from the laser bed and gently clean away any dust or residue.

Assemble the wooden pieces according to the design and secure them if needed. You can also install hooks, add decorative elements, or apply paint or stain to match your preferred style.
