Boss Laser Technical Support

Find your machine series, start with the most common fixes, then open the exact model before contacting support.

Machine series support

Select the series that matches your machine.

Each series block links to its owner’s manual, quick-start guide, common fixes, and every model’s support page. One manual and guide cover the models in that series.

Knowledge base

Top troubleshooting topics.

Updated over time based on support volume and search behavior.

Why is my CO2 laser not firing?

Check interlocks, water protection, and the power supply first, then confirm tube behavior. Work the interlock test guide step by step, then the simplified resistor test, before contacting support.

How do I align the mirrors on my laser?

Run the beam-path checks from mirror one through the nozzle, adjusting one mirror at a time and re-testing after each adjustment. Verify focus only after the beam path is correct.

Why are my cuts dirty or inconsistent?

Review focus, optics condition, air assist, material settings, and bed level — change one variable at a time and re-test so you know which change fixed it.
