== What to do if RDWorks crashes ==
Here's some common issues that crop up on the laser and how to fix them
First of all check that it is RDWorks Version 7 that you are running (It's not unknown for people to try installing a newer version - which will not work at all with this machine). After that, if it is coming up in hieroglyphics, then it usually means it has managed to crash, and had defaulted back to it's out of the box setup - which is Chinese!

| RDWorks version 8 or later has been installed || The laser will not work with any version of RDWorks after version 7, make sure you're running the right one

| Bed won't rise high enough || The head has been knocked and moved upwards, preventing it from focusing properly on thin sheets || To fix it home the laser both in the XY and the Z modes, place the 6mm focus block under the head while at the home position, and then turn the knurled ring on the red tube to release the head, make sure to be holding it so it doesn't drop out!
 
Set the head height so that it's just touching the focus block while in that position and tighten up the knurled ring again, you'll now have the head in the proper focus position and can cut using normal procedure.
