Epilog Laser Fusion Pro 48 User Manual

FIRE WARNING
Fire Warning
Your laser system uses a high intensity beam of light that can generate extremely high
temperatures when it comes into contact with the material being engraved, marked or
cut. Some materials are extremely flammable and can easily ignite and burst into open
flame setting the machine afire. This open flame is very dangerous and has the potential to
destroy not only the machine, but the building in which it is housed.
Experience shows that vector cutting with the laser has the most potential to create an open flame.
Many materials are susceptible to igniting, but acrylic, in all its dierent forms, has been shown to be
especially flammable when vector cutting with the laser.
Please read the following warnings and recommendations and follow them closely at all times!
• Stay with the laser. Never operate the laser system while unattended.
• Keep the area clear. Clean around the machine and keep the area free of clutter, combustible
materials, explosives, or volatile solvents such as acetone, alcohol, or gasoline.
• Be prepared with a fire extinguisher. Always keep a properly maintained and inspected fire
extinguisher on hand. Epilog recommends a Halotron fire extinguisher or a multi-purpose dry
chemical fire extinguisher. The Halotron extinguishers are more expensive than a dry chemical, but
oer certain advantages should you ever need to use an extinguisher. The Halotron extinguisher
discharges a clean, easily removable substance that is not harmful to the mechanics or wiring of
the laser system. The dry chemical extinguisher discharges a sticky, corrosive powder that is very
diicult to clean up.
• Use Air Assist. Always use the system’s Air Assist feature when vector cutting.
• Use caution when vector cutting. Many materials have the potential to suddenly burst into flames
when cut with a laser – even materials that may be very familiar to the user. Always monitor the
machine when it is operating.
• Clean the laser. A buildup of cutting and engraving residue and debris is dangerous and can
create a fire hazard in its own right. Keep your laser system clean and free of debris. Regularly clean
underneath the Vector Cutting Table to clean any small pieces that have fallen through the grid.
