- Page 3 DEFINITIONS OF PROCEDURES The Monport ONYX-R laser, the machine you're about to explore, utilizes a carbon dioxide laser for cutting or engraving. Inside the protective housing, the laser beam travels through three mirrors on a two-axis moving frame and is then reflected into the focusing optics for irradiation of the workpiece.

Page 4: Fire Warning
Be prepared with a fire extinguisher. Always keep a properly maintained and inspected fire extinguisher at hand. Monport recommends a Halotron fire extinguisher or a multi-purpose dry chemical fire extinguisher. Although the Halotron extinguisher is more expensive than a dry chemical one, it offers certain advantages when used. For example, the Halotron extinguisher discharges a clean and easily removable substance that is not harmful to the mechanics or wiring of the laser system. -
