Description of Appropriate Use
This device is designed for laser cutting and engraving in an oce, laboratory, workshop or light duty manufacturing
environment. Materials to be processed must t completely inside the system for proper operation.
CAUTION: This device is not designed, tested, intended or authorized for use in any medical
applications, surgical applications, medical device manufacturing or any similar procedure
or process requiring approval, testing or certication by the United States Food and Drug
Administration or other similar governmental entities.
EXPOSURE TO THE LASER BEAM MAY CAUSE PHYSICAL BURNS AND CAN CAUSE SEVERE EYE
DAMAGE. Proper use and care of this system are essential to safe operation. Use of controls or adjust-
ments or performance of procedures other than those specied herein may result in hazardous radia-
tion exposure.
NEVER OPERATE THE LASER SYSTEM WITHOUT CONSTANT SUPERVISION OF THE CUTTING
AND ENGRAVING PROCESS. Exposure to the laser beam may cause ignition of combustible materials
which can lead to a re. A properly maintained re extinguisher should be kept on hand at all times.
A PROPERLY CONFIGURED, INSTALLED, MAINTAINED AND OPERATIONAL PARTICULATE AND
FUME EXHAUST SYSTEM IS MANDATORY WHEN OPERATING THE LASER SYSTEM. Fumes and
smoke from the engraving process must be extracted from the laser system and exhausted outside.
Use of the equipment in a manner other than described in this manual or failure to follow the operational requirements
and safety guidelines listed in this manual can result in injury to yourself and others and may cause damage to the
equipment and your facility.
General Safety
NEVER LEAVE MATERIALS IN THE LASER SYSTEM AFTER LASER PROCESSING HAS FINISHED.
Always remove all material including scrap material from the machine after use.
Scrap material left in the laser system including materials that collect in the op-
tional cutting table can be a re hazard. It is also recommended you allow scrap
materials to cool prior to leaving the work area. A properly maintained re extinguisher should be
kept on hand at all times.
SOME MATERIALS, WHEN ENGRAVED OR CUT WITH A LASER, CAN PRODUCE TOXIC AND
CORROSIVE FUMES. We recommend that you obtain the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) from
the manufacturer of the particular material. The MSDS discloses all of the hazards when handling or
processing a particular material. DISCONTINUE processing any material that causes chemical
deterioration of the laser system such as rust, metal etching or pitting, peeling paint, etc. Damage to
the laser system from corrosive fumes is NOT covered under warranty.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MOVE OR LIFT THIS SYSTEM ALONE. Obtain assistance from three or four
additional people when lifting or carrying (secure motion system and doors before lifting). Bodily
injury may occur if improper lifting techniques are used or the system is dropped.
