New user First cut

Hello, I am new to laser/cutting. Got my H2D combo back in June. I did my first cutting and it worked but I had a question. I cut an 8.5 x 11 sticky back sheet of slot shaped labels but they cut all the way though the backing. Actually left cut marks on the build plate. It made three passes on each cut. Was wondering if the cut depth could be adjusted to not cut all way though the backing. It would be nice to pull the sheet off the plate in one piece. Maybe not possible. I did do the calibration before starting. Thank you.

You’ve used this plate with the teeth, right?

…or, if the parts are very small, this attachment?

I apologize, I probably didn’t word my steps adequately. I was not lasering, but just using the cutting tool. So I was using the build plate with the sticky rubberized surface.

That’s normal as long as it stays within reason; let me show you with a photo:

It just shouldn’t look any worse or make scratching noises.
