# Air Assist Setup for Razor CO2 Lasers

The air assist pump in Razor CO2 lasers helps keep smoke and debris off the lens inside the laser nozzle, assists in cutting materials, and reduces flare-ups during the cutting process. This guide explains how to set up the air assist pump correctly.

**Step-by-Step Instructions**

1. **Identify the Air Assist Pump**
   
     - The air assist pump is used to keep smoke and debris off your lens, help in the cutting process, and tamp out small flare-ups.
2. **Locate the Air Assist Outlet**
   
     - Identify the plug attached to the air assist pump and insert it into the corresponding outlet on the back of the machine labeled "Air Assist."
3. **Attach the Airline Supply**
   
     - Grab the 6 mm airline supply that came with your laser and attach it to the front of the air assist pump.
     - Insert the airline into the blue push lock fitting on the front of the pump. Ensure proper seating by inserting it all the way and giving it a slight pull.
4. **Connect the Airline to the Machine**
   
     - Take the other end of the airline and attach it to the machine in the fitting labeled "Air Pump."
5. **Final Check**
   
     - Ensure all connections are secure. Your air assist setup is now ready for use.

**Conclusion**

Setting up the air assist pump correctly ensures optimal performance of your CO2 laser by maintaining a clean lens and assisting in the cutting process. Follow these steps to install your air assist pump properly. For further assistance, refer to Lightburn documentation or support channels. Happy engraving!
