Observe all provided
warnings and safety
instructions when using the Dremel
LC40. Failure to do so may result in fire,
equipment damage, property damage or
personal injury.
Your laser cutter must
be properly vented to
the outside at all times. Do NOT operate
unless properly vented as set forth in the
owner’s manual or these instructions.
Failure to follow all instructions could
result in property damage, personal
injury or death.
Always use a properly
configured, installed,
maintained, and operating fume/smoke
exhaust system as recommended by the
manufacturer when operating the laser
system. Caustic fumes and smoke from
the engraving process must be extracted
from the laser system and exhausted
outside.
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.
This product uses a laser beam to rapidly
heat, melt and partially or completely
vaporize the material, creating a number
of gases and particulate matter. These
byproducts of laser operation can, in
some cases, pose health risks to those
exposed to them.
To reduce or minimize exposure to their
health hazards, always use an
appropriate filtration and/or exhaust
system and carefully choose your
material. When using materials other than
those suggested by Dremel, ask the
manufacturer for the SDS (Safety Data
Sheet) for each material. The SDS
“Hazards Identification” section will
provide information to help determine if
the material or it's by products are
harmful. If the material does not have an
SDS, consult the manufacturer to
determine if the material generates toxic
gases and/or dust, and if it presents fire
or explosion hazards.
Representative materials listed in table 1
have been tested and with a properly
installed and maintained exhaust/
filtration system, levels are below current
occupational standards. (See www.-------
for material specifics?). The commonly
used materials in table 1 can vary in
composition depending on manufacturer
and other factors. Dremel has not tested
all possible combinations and not all
materials have documented health effects
of materials in use. As such, the user is
responsible for material choice and
subsequent health consequences.
The Laser engraver has an exhaust port,
fan and ducting which is a means to
remove byproducts created during laser
operation. Always ensure the exhaust is
functioning. Refer to page XX for proper
venting configurations. Exhaust and
filtration systems may not be able to
remove all hazardous substances or
reduce their concentration to acceptable
levels, so never use materials that are
prohibited (see table 2). When used with
a properly operating exhaust/ filtration
system, cutting/engraving the suggested
materials have not shown elevated levels
of toxic emissions but as more data
becomes available, this may change.
Always check www.current

information.
