• Your device should come with instruction labels in the following locations:
If any of these labels is missing, illegible, or becomes damaged, it must be replaced.
• Use this laser engraving device only in accordance with all applicable local and national laws and regulations.
• Use this device only in accordance with this instruction manual and the manual for the engraving software included
with it. Only allow this device to be installed, operated, maintained, repaired, etc. by others who have also read and
understood both manuals. Ensure that this manual and the software manual are both included with this device if it is
ever given or sold to a third party.
• DO NOT operate continuously for more than 3½ hours. Stop for at least 30 minutes between uses.
• DO NOT leave this device unattended during operation. Observe the device throughout operation
and, if anything seems to be operating strangely, immediately cut off ALL power to the machine
and contact either our customer service or your dedicated repair service. Similarly, ensure the device
is FULLY turned off (including by means of the emergency stop switch) after each use.

affect their ability to follow this manual and the software manual to install, operate, maintain, or repair this device.
• Any untrained personnel who might be near the device while it is in operation MUST be informed that it is dangerous

• Always keep a fire extinguisher, water hose, or other flame retardant system nearby in case of accidents. Ensure that
the local fire brigade's phone number is clearly displayed nearby. In the case of a fire, cut electrical power before
dousing the flame. Familiarise yourself with the correct range for your extinguisher before use. Take care not to use
the extinguisher too close to the flame, as its high pressure can produce blowback.
