LASER CUTTER SAFETY WARNINGS
Never expose yourself
to the laser beam since
it may cause physical burns and can
cause severe eye damage. Proper use and
care of this laser cutter system are essential
to safe operation.
Never operate the laser cutter system
without constant supervision of the
cutting and engraving process. Exposure
to the laser beam may cause ignition of
combustible materials and start a fire.
Never use PVC or other nonconductive
duct materials for the exhaust system.
Static charges may build up and may cause
a risk of fire or explosion.
Always use fire rated rigid or flexible
metal or metalized ducting in the exhaust
system. Non-fire rated exhaust ducting may
increase the risk of fire.
Always inspect the exhaust fan and duct
work for obstructions and ensure proper
air flow exists before each use.
Unobstructed and properly maintained
exhaust fan and duct work will reduce the
risk of fire and effectively extract caustic
fumes and smoke.
Never engrave or cut any unknown
material. Only engrave materials
recommended by the manufacturer. The
vaporization/melting of many materials,
including but not limited to PVC and
polycarbonates, can give off hazardous
fumes. Always refer to the Safety Data
Sheet (SDS) from the material manufacturer
to determine the response of any work
material to extreme heat (burning/fire hazard)
to prevent hazards.
Always use the air assist as
recommended by the manufacturer,
especially while cutting. Cutting
movements are relatively slow and apply
an extremely large amount of heat to the
work piece. Avoid the build-up of heat in
order to reduce the risk of fire.
Keep the interior of the laser cutter,
including the table tray, clean and free of
debris. Clean the laser. A build-up of cutting
and engraving residue and debris is
dangerous and may increase the risk of fire.
Never look into the beam of the alignment
laser. Eye injury can result.
GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
the temperature of the work piece and the
temperature of the work piece may remain
high after laser cutter stops operating.
Touching hot work pieces before they cool down
may result in burns.
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent
use of laser cutters allow you to become
complacent and ignore laser cutter safety
principles. A careless action can cause severe
injury within a fraction of a second.
Laser Cutter Use and Care
Prevent idle laser cutter from being used by
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the laser cutter or these instructions to
operate the laser cutter. Laser cutters can be
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain laser cutters. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the laser cutter’s operation. If
damaged, have the laser cutter repaired
before use. A poorly maintained laser engraver
may result in a risk of shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
Use the laser engraver in accordance with
these instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the laser engraver for
operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
Service
Have your laser cutter serviced by a
qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the laser cutter is maintained.
