0. Security Statement
Before Using the laser engraving, please read this safety guide
carefully, it mentions situations that require special attention and includes
warnings of unsafe practices that can cause damage to your property or

Befon A5 PRO+ uses Type 4 laser product. The lasers are very
powerful that can cause eye injuries and burn the skin.

Avoid exposing your skin to Type 4 laser beams, especially at close
range.
Teens must be supervised by parents while using the machine.
Do not touch the laser engraving module while it is switched on.
0.2 Fire safety
The high intensity laser beam generates extremely high temperatures
and a lot of heat due to it burns the substrate when it cuts.
Some materials can catch fire during the cutting process, then
creating gas and smoke inside the equipment.
When the laser beam hits the material, Usually, there will be a small
flame. It will move with the laser and will not remain lit as the laser passes
over it.
Do not leave the machine alone during the engraving process.
Please do remember to clean the laser cutter of debris, scraps and
flammable materials after use.
Always keep a working fire extinguisher nearby.
Safety against fumes or airborne contaminants
When using a laser engraver, fumes, vapors, particles are generated
from the material (plastics and other flammable materials), there are
potentially toxic . These fumes or airborne contaminants can be hazardous
to health.

2. Befon A5 PRO+ Engraver Introduction
The Befon A5 PRO+ laser engraving can be used for engraving, and
cutting.
The Befon A5 PRO+ laser engraver uses a fixed-focus laser,
traditional lasers are zoom lasers and require to look directly at the laser
spot to find a proper size. The Befon A5 PRO+ laser is a fixed-focus laser,
it only need a fixed-focus sheet to get the best engraving focal length.
The laser shield helps us block most of the bright light, if we look
directly at them, firstly the retina will be damaged and your vision will be
reduced, secondly it will cause visual fatigue, decreasing productive and
leaning efficiency. Thirdly, the light can inhibit the production of
melatonin, which affects the quality of sleep. The laser shield can help to
protect you from this damage.
The Befon laser engraver has a laser power of 5W-5.5W, and it can
cut some boards and engrave on stainless steel easily.
Befon A5 PRO+ engraver supports PWM control (Pulse Width
Modulation), which makes the engraved pattern more detailed.

3. Software installation and use
Befon currently supports two of the most popular versions of
LaserGrbl-4.0.5 and Lightburn.v0.9.20 (customers can download the
official version).LaserGRBL is an open source, easy to use and powerful
software, but unfortunately LaserGRBL only supports Windows (Win XP /
Win 7 / Win 8 / XP / Win 10).
For Mac users, of course, you can choose LightBurn, which is also an
excellent engraver software, but this software needs to pay for $40. This
software also supports Windows.
The Befon A5 PRO engraver receives commands from the computer
to move. The engraver needs to stay connected to the computer and cannot
turn off the engraver software (LaserGRBL or LightBurn) during the
engraving process . Since the calculations are done on the computer, the
configuration of the computer will affect the speed and even the quality of
the engraving.
The following section will focus on the installation and use of the
LaserGRBL software. LightBurn will briefly explain the installation and
configuration process.
