3) DO's AND DON'Ts

DON'T!

NEVER operate the machine without a properly operating vent to the outside! 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.
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 Vinyl.
NEVER operate your machine unattended. 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.
NEVER engrave or cut acrylic material unattended. This is a popular material to laser however its fumes are
extremely flammable and cause flare up in your machine. Always watch carefully when using this material.
NEVER operate with any of the covers or enclosures removed, and never modify the enclosure. The laser
beam is invisible!
DO
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 Section 8 "Engraving Machine
Maintenance" of this manual for specifics.
YOUR LEGEND IS NOW READY FOR USE!
