from power before removing it.
• Adjustment, maintenance, and repair of the electrical components of this device must be done
ONLY by trained and skilled professionals to avoid fires and other malfunctions, including
potential radiation exposure from damage to the laser components. Because specialized
techniques are required for testing the electrical components of this marking system, it is
recommended such testing only be done by the manufacturer, seller, or repair service.

when it is turned off, disconnected from its power supply, and fully cooled.

1.6 Material Safety Instructions

• Users of this laser engraving machine are responsible for confirming that materials to be
processed can withstand the heat of the laser and will not produce any emissions or byproducts
either harmful to people nearby or in violation of local or national laws or regulations. In
particular, do not use this device to process polyvinyl chloride (PVC), teflon, or other halogen
containing materials under any circumstances.
• Users of this laser engraver are responsible for ensuring that every person present during
operation has sufficient PPE to avoid the injury from the emissions and byproducts of the
materials being processed. In addition to the protective laser eyewear described above, this
may require goggles, masks or respirators, gloves, and other protective outer clothing.
• DO NOT ever under any circumstances use this laser engraver if the exhaust system is not
working properly. Always ensure that the exhaust fans can remove the dust and gas produced
by the engraving process in accordance with all applicable local and national laws and
regulations. Immediately stop use if the exhaust fans or vent pipes malfunction. Periodically
check the air assist intake filter to ensure it stays free of any dust or debris.
• Users must exercise special caution when working with conductive materials as buildup of their
dust and ambient particles may damage electrical components, cause short circuits, or produce
other effects including reflected laser radiation.
