Focusing a Sculfun 70 W Max laser

/ We have Sculpfun 70 Laser. The focus does not seem correct when using the automatic focus. Whenever I start a new project or use any new wood, I always use the focus button. I do not think the focus is as accurate as it should be.
What should the height of the lase be set at if using 3mm wood or other thicknesses of wood?
I am not sure what the actual recommended height should be. The beam is very wide-looking, and I have to use more energy to cut or even engrave a project than I thought would be necessary.
If anyone has a suggestion or answer to this, I would appreciate knowing.
Thank you,
