Do's And Don'ts - Epilog Fusion M2 32 Manual

SECTION 1: SAFETY

Do's and Don'ts

Don'ts
Do Not Run the Laser Unvented: Never operate the machine without a properly operating vent to the outside or to a
filtration unit! Most material will only produce an irritating smoke when engraved. Some materials, including but not
limited to paint, varnish, composition board and plastics, produce compounds that can be harmful if concentrated. A
properly installed vent is the only way to ensure that problems do not occur.
Do Not Engrave or Cut PVC: Never engrave or cut any material containing PVC or vinyl. When engraved, a corrosive agent
is produced that will destroy your machine. Your warranty will be void if your machine is damaged by corrosion from
engraving or cutting PVC or Vinyl.
Do Not Operate Machine While Unattended: Never operate your machine without someone watching the system. There
is a significant risk of fire if the machine is set improperly, or if the machine should experience a mechanical or electrical
failure while operating.
Do Not Vector Cut While Machine is Unattended: Never laser cut any material with the laser without someone watching
the system. Because vector cutting moves relatively slowly compared to raster engraving, a tremendous amount of heat
is applied to the material being cut. This buildup of heat can cause significant fire risk and the machine should always be
monitored. Additionally, the Air Assist should always be turned on when vector cutting to reduce the risk of fire.
Do Not Operate The System While Doors are Open: Never operate with any of the covers or enclosures removed, and
never modify the enclosure. The laser beam is invisible and is very dangerous!
Do's
Clean the System: Please allow a few minutes a week for cleaning your machine. Just a small amount of
effort at the end of the week will pay off with years of trouble free operation of your machine.
See the "Section : Cleaning & Maintenance" on page 85 for specifics.
