LASER CUTTER SAFETY WARNINGS
Never operate the alignment laser without
t
he focus lens or other optical elements of
laser cutter in place. The unfocused beam
may be reflected out of the chassis and
increase the risk of eye injury.
Do not operate the laser machine with any
of the panels removed. Remember that
the laser beam is invisible! Exposure of the
laser beam will greatly increase the risk of
injury and/or fire.
Before using the laser machine, test the
ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
provided with the supply cord to insure it
is operating correctly. A properly operating
GFCI reduces the risk of electrical shock.
Do not attempt to modify or defeat the
safety interlock system for any reason.
This could result in exposure to hazardous
laser radiation.
Do not use laser cutter with extension
cords. The GFCI on the machine power cord
will not prevent electrical shock from the
extension cords.
Always use provided work piece support
structure. Fabrication without honeycomb
support may lead to fire or release of stray
radiation.
Do not use irregularly shaped work piece.
Risk of stray radiation or fire.
Do not stack work pieces. Stacking work
p
ieces increases the risk of fire.
Use only recommended accessories.
Follow instructions that accompany
accessories. Use of improper accessories
may cause hazards
Ensure tools and parts such as spacer
puck, wrench, debris, etc. are removed
from the honeycomb plate before starting
a laser job. Objects or debris may interfere
with the laser head and lead to stray
radiation or risk of fire.
Do Not Block exhaust fan. VOCs created
by the laser engraver process must be
properly vented to help prevent personal
injury.
This product is provided with a ground
fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) built into
the power cord plug. If replacement of the
plug or cord is needed, use only identical
replacement parts.
Do not try to clean exhaust ducting. The
high concentration of particles may
become airborne and create inhalation
exposure.
Do not spill water on the Hex Box™ unit.
Damage to electronics may occur.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS
Use of controls or
adjustments or
performance of procedures other than
those specified herein may result in
hazardous radiation exposure.
Do not tap or scratch
LCD screen with sharp
objects. The LCD screen may become
damaged.
Do not move the laser
head by hand when
locked. Moving a locked laser head by hand
may result in damage to the gantry system.
Use care when removing
the tube guard. The LED
lights may be damaged by contact with tube
guard edges.
Never remove the
mirrors for cleaning!
Take extra caution to not move the
orientation of the mirrors as this will affect
laser beam alignment and would require
time intensive laser beam realignment.
