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
clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
Be careful removing work pieces from the
laser cutter. Cutting with a laser increases
