reflective surfaces. i.e. wood or rough-coated surfaces are acceptable.
Reflective sheet steel or similar is not suitable for laser use as the
reflective surface could direct the beam back at the operator
• DD NOT change the laser light assembly. Repairs must only be carried
out by the laser manufacturer or an authorised agent. Do NOT exchange
with a different type of laser
WARNING: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures
other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation
exposure.

Cutting Tool Safety
Use the correct cutting tool
• Ensure the cutting tool is suitable for the job. Do not assume a tool is
suitable without checking the product literature before use
Protect your eyes
• Always wear appropriate eye protection when using cutting tools
• Spectacles are not designed to offer any protection when using this
product; normal lenses are not impact resistant and could shatter
Protect your hearing
• Always wear suitable hearing protection when tool noise exceeds 85dB
Protect your breathing
• Ensure that yourself, and others around you, wear suitable dust masks
Be aware of others around you
• It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that other people in the
vicinity of the work area are not exposed to dangerous noise or dust and
are also provided with suitable protective equipment
Hidden objects
• Inspect the workpiece and remove all nails and other embedded objects
before cutting
• Do not attempt to cut material that contains embedded objects unless
you know that the cutting tool fitted to your machine is suitable for the
job
• Walls may conceal wiring and piping, car body panels may conceal fuel
lines, and long grass may conceal stones and glass. Always check the
work area thoroughly before proceeding
Beware of projected waste
• In some situations, waste material may be projected at speed from the
cutting tool. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that other people in
the work area are protected from the possibility of projected waste
Fitting cutting tools
• Ensure cutting tools are correctly and securely fitted and check that
wrenches / adjusters are removed prior to use
• Only use cutting tools recommended for your machine
• Do not attempt to modify cutting tools
Beware of heat
• Cutting tools and workpieces may become hot in use. Do not attempt to
change tools until they have been allowed to cool completely
Control dust / swarf
• Do not allow dust or swarf to build up. Sawdust is a fire hazard, and
some metal swarf is explosive
• Be especially careful when cutting wood and metal. Sparks from metal
cutting are a common cause of wood dust fires
• Where possible, use a dust extraction system to ensure a safer working
environment
