1. This product is a laser engraver system components, must be installed in other manufacturers of laser engraver for use.And the
product belongs to Class 4 laser products, the laser system itself must meet the requirements of IEC 60825-1 latest version, otherwise
the product is prohibited to be used.
2. Your laser engraver shall have a protective housing which, when in place, prevents human access to laser radiation.
3. If a protective housing is equipped with an access panel which provides "walk-in" access then:
a)means shall be provided so that any person inside the protective housing can prevent activation of a laser hazard that is equivalent to
Class 3B or Class 4.
b）a warning device shall be situated so as to provide adequate warning of emission of laser radiation equivalent to Class 3R in the
wavelength range below 400 nm and above 700 nm, or of laser radiation equivalent to Class 3B or Class 4 to any person who might be
within the protective housing.
c)󵿎where “walk-in” access during operation is intended or reasonably foreseeable, emission of laser radiation that is equivalent to Class
3B or Class 4 while someone is present inside the protective housing of a Class 1, Class 2, or Class 3R product shall be prevented by
engineering means.
NOTE Methods to prevent human access to radiation when persons are inside the protective housing can include pressure sensitive
floor mats, infrared detectors, etc.
Part 1： Security Statment Before Installation

4. The laser itself has a protective cover, the protective cover is fastened by screws. When the laser is installed on the laser engraver, the
protective cover should be checked to be reliably locked, and can not be removed in the energized state.
5. The housing of the laser engraver should have an interlock function. When the housing is opened or removed, the laser can be
automatically turned off.
6. The laser engraver should have an emergency stop button, which can immediately stop the output of the laser when pressed under
unexpected circumstances.
7. The laser engraver should have a reset button, which can resume work under the condition of confirming safety after lifting the
interlock or emergency stop.
8. Laser engraver should use physical keys, dongle, password system and other ways to manage and control, to prevent personnel
without security training operation of this kind of equipment.
9. On the laser engraver any window or channel that can actively observe or passively receive the laser radiation should be set up
warning marks.
10. If the laser burns the skin or eyes, please go to a nearby hospital for examination and treatment immediately.

Laser Light can damage the human eyes and skin. Do not expose the eye or skin to laser light directly. This Laser product has an optical lens and emits a
collimated laser beam. The light from this product, both direct and reflected, is very harmful as it can propagate a long distance while maintaining high
optical density. When handling the product, wear appropriate safety glasses (OD5+) to protect eyes from laser light including reflected and stray light.
The reflected and stray light spilling into an unintended area should be attenuated and/or absorbed.
2.1 Laser safety
We installed a laser shield on the laser, the shield can largely filter out the diffuse reflection of the laser spot.However, when using laser engraving
machine, it is recommended that you wear laser protective glasses. Avoid skin exposure to type 4 laser beams, especially at close range.Teenagers must
have parental supervision in the process of using it.Do not touch the laser engraving module when the machine is on.
2.2 Fire Safety
Because cutting burns off the substrate, a high-intensity laser beam generates extremely high temperatures and a lot of heat.Certain materials can catch
fire during cutting, creating gases and fumes inside the equipment.A small flame usually appears here when a laser beam hits the material.It will move
with the laser and will not stay lit when the laser passes by.Please do not leave the machine unattended during the carving process.After use, be
sure to clean up debris, debris and flammable materials in the laser cutting machine.Keep a working fire extinguisher nearby at all times.Smoke or air
pollutant safety. When laser engraving machines are used, smoke, vapour, particles, and potentially highly toxic materials (plastics and other
combustible materials) are produced from the material.These fumes or air pollutants can be hazardous to health.
Part 2：User Security Statement

2.3 Material safety
Do not engrave materials with unknown properties.Materials Recommended:Wood, bamboo, leather, plastic, fabric, paper, opaque
acrylic, glass.Materials not recommended:Metal, precious stones, transparent materials, reflective materials etc.
2.4 Use Safety
Use the engraver only in horizontal position and ensure that it has been securely fixed to prevent fires caused by accidental shifting or
dropping from the workbench during work.It is forbidden to point the laser to people, animals or any combustible object, whether it is
in working condition or not.
