GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
Work Area Safety
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate laser cutter in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Laser
beam may ignite the dust or fumes.
Set up and operate the laser cutter in a
well-ventilated area. Place laser cutter on
flat nonflammable surface and away from
flammable material. Provide at least 8
inches of unobstructed spacing around
laser cutter to allow ventilation. Laser
cutters may create fumes that irritate eyes
and airways. Obstructing airflow into or out
of laser cutter may result in serious personal
injury.
Always use a properly configured,
installed, maintained, and operating
fume/smoke exhaust system as
recommended by the manufacturer when
operating the laser cutter. Caustic fumes
and smoke from the cutting and engraving
process must be extracted from the laser
system and exhausted outside or properly
filtered to reduce the risk of personal injury.
Always keep a properly maintained and
inspected fire extinguisher in the area.
Typically, Carbon Dioxide (CO2) chemical
fire extinguishers should be used.
Laser cutters must be operated only by
persons familiar with their operation and
manufacturer’s instructions. Operation of
laser cutters by persons unfamiliar with
their operation and manufacturer’s
instructions can result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Do not allow unsupervised children and
bystanders to interact with the laser cutter
while it is operating. Persons unfamiliar
with the operation of the laser cutter may
change its setup, which may increase the
risk of electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
Electrical Safety
Laser cutter plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) laser cutters. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
While operating the laser cutter, avoid
body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk
of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
Do not expose laser cutters to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a laser cutter
may increase the risk of electric shock.
Before every operation of a water-cooled
laser cutter, make sure that the coolant
connections and laser tube are leak-free.
Water leaks may increase the risk of electric
shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the laser
cutter. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
Do not operate laser cutters in damp
locations. Use of laser cutters in damp
locations may increase the risk of electric
shock.
Personal Safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a laser
cutter. Do not use a laser cutter while you
are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating laser cutters
may result in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection appropriate
for class of laser engraver. Protective
equipment such as heat and cut resistant
gloves used when work pieces are hot or
have sharp edges will reduce personal
injuries.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose
