Step 1: Level the hammer
Place the hammer, and level it. Because the hammer head is always thicker than its handle, we should jack up the handle to make the whole hammer level. We can use a level to test if it is flat.
Place the level (that little green rectangle) on the head of the hammer that will be marked. Observe the bubbles inside and adjust the height of the hammer handle to center the bubbles. Most importantly, once you see the bubble centered, turn the level over one side. If the bubble is still centered, the adjustment is good. If not, keep adjusting!
Step 2: Import laser marking file
Load your design into LightBurn software, adjusting its size and position to fit your hammer.
Step 3: Check out the hanmmer settings
Here are the two laser marking layers: the black layer represents a gold brown marking, while the red layer add a white marking effect.
Step 4: Don't miss the focus
Press the frame button to visualize the laser marking area with a safe red light. Adjust your design until it aligns perfectly with the hammer head. Once confirmed, close the machine door and initiate the marking process by pressing start.

Step 5: Ready to start
Press the frame button and check if the visual red light indicate the right area to be marked. The frame should be located on the hammerhead. If not, move the pattern positions until they overlap.
After checking, close the laser door and begin Aurora Lite’s operation.
Step 6: Monitor the hammer marking process
Stay near the machine throughout operation to monitor for any unusual sounds or alarms. This vigilance ensures safety during marking, as laser energy is potent. Avoid looking directly at the laser beam, even with protective measures in place.
Step 7: Complete the task
Once laser marking is complete, carefully open the door and get your newly personalized hammer!
