Preface: This article covers one of the possible causes of flare ups, fires and flames while cutting and engraving on your Thunder Laser Bolt or Odin machine
If so....then lets read through this article to check, solve and recover from this scenario.
The most likely cause is that the Air Nozzle Bracket has been bent out of the way.

Slightly bend the bracket back in place so that the nozzle is pointing at the red dot/laser position. If the bracket should break, we have replacements that can be bought from here.
If you experienced flare ups, flames or a fire, it is a good idea to check and clean these parts.
