This laser engraving system contains a class 4 carbon dioxide (CO2) laser that emits intensive and invisible laser radiation. Without safety precautions the direct radiation or even diffuse reflected radiation is dangerous!
Always wear safety glasses when using the machine.
Always work with the machine cover closed.
NEVER leave the laser machine alone when running a job. If you do need to leave,
The machine door must be left open while you are away.
Do not store any flammable materials in the inside of the device or in the immediate vicinity of the device.
Remove leftovers of previously produced materials before running a job.
A fire extinguisher/fire blanket must always be handy as the laser beam can ignite flammable materials.
Metals, particularly un-coated aluminum, copper, silver and gold, cannot be processed with the laser and lead to high reflections of the laser beam. If needed, metals can be coated with a paint/tape which chemically bonds to the surface when engraved.
Before processing materials the user must verify whether harmful materials can be generated and whether the filter equipment of the exhaust system is suitable for the harmful materials.
PVC (polyvinyl chloride) must under no circumstances be processed with the laser.
Looking directly into the laser can cause retinal damage.
Confirm that the fume collection system is running whenever the laser is cutting or engraving.
