● Always inspect the laser cutter for damage or breakage before each use. Do not
operate machinery that is damaged or defective in any way.
● Always have a clean, level, and open work space to unbox and place your laser
cutter.
● Never modify, disassemble, or in any way alter the construction of the laser and
never start up a system that has been modified or disassembled.
● Never leave the laser system unattended during operation.
●Keep your laser system clean. A buildup of cutting and engraving residue and
debris is dangerous and can create a fire hazard. Keep your laser system clean and
free of debris. Regularly remove the cutting grid to clean any small pieces that have
gotten stuck or fallen through.
● Do not disassemble the machine or remove any of its protective covers.
●Always have on hand a first-aid kit designed for the initial treatment of burns
and smoke inhalation. Be sure to store this kit in an area that is outside risk areas.
●Never operate the machine with any of the panels removed. Be aware that
removal of any portion of the cabinet will expose the laser system and greatly
increase the risk of injury and/or fire.
● Never place hands or fingers into moving parts such as belts or cooling fans.
● The laser lens and protective covers are made of glass and are therefore
extremely fragile and can cause severe lacerations if broken.
Setup Precautions
Follow all safety protocols and procedures before operating any machinery. It is the responsibility of
the operator to ensure all safety precautions are correctly followed, and the machine is properly
assembled and in working order.
Section I. Safety
WARNING!
WARNING!

●Never engrave or cut any unknown material. The vaporization/melting of many
materials, including but not limited to PVC and polycarbonates, can give off hazardous
fumes. Please refer to the MSDS sheet from the material manufacturer to determine the
response of any work material to extreme heat (burning/fire hazard).
●Never operate the machine without a properly operating ventilation.
Most materials produce an irritating smoke when engraved. Some materials, including
but not limited to: paint, varnish, composition board, and plastics,toxic compounds.
General Safety
WARNING!
5
Safety During Operation
The output of the fiber engraving laser is fully contained in a Class 3 enclosure during normal operation.
However, the output beam is accessible to the operator during normal operation, giving the total system an
overall rating of Class 3B. Class 3 lasers have minimal safety concerns when used properly and handled with
care. The laser system is designated as Class 3B due to the fact that safety glasses must be used when
observing the laser engraving process.
Follow these Safety Guidelines at all times:
● Always use the provided safety glasses when looking at the laser.
●Never aim any laser towards an aircraft or vehicle that is in motion.
CAUTION!
Laser cutting and engraving systems can present a significant fire hazard due to the extremely
high temperatures generated by the laser beam. While the objective of most cutting and engraving operations
is to vaporize material without burning, most materials capable of being cut or engraved are inherently
combustible and can ignite. Usually this is a small flame of burning material issuing from the cut zone which
self-extinguishes due to the air assist or depowering of the beam. However, it is possible for the flame to
propagate and set fire to the machine and its surroundings.
Fire Safety
WARNING!
Always keep a properly maintained and inspected 5lbs. or larger fire extinguisher on hand.
Full Spectrum Laser recommends a Halogen or multipurpose dry chemical fire extinguisher.
Halogen extinguisher are expensive but easy clean, while the dry chemical extinguisher discharges
a sticky, corrosive powder that is very difficult to clean up.
Never operate your machine unattended. There is a significant risk of fire if set improperly, or if a
mechanical or electrical failure occurs while operating.
Always use the air assist, especially while vector cutting. The process is relatively slow and
applies a large amount of heat to the workplace. Vector cutting with the laser has the most
potential to create an open flame.

The power supply is capable of releasing a current up to 20mA. This power is sent to the discharge
terminals on the laser tube itself. In order to prevent access to bare wiring your laser shipped with silicone
terminal covers. Please notify Full Spectrum Laser support and immediately cease operations if the covers
ever slip and expose bare wire.
●Do not open any of the machine’s access panels while the unit is
plugged in. Opening a panel may expose the operator to the unit’s
power box, which is potentially lethal.
● Never make or break any electrical connections to the system
while the unit is turned on.
● Never access any electrical areas with hands or tools unless the
unit is disconnected from the power for at least one hour.
●Never replace the installed 20 amp fuse with one of a higher
rating. This will void your warranty and the electronics will not be
adequately protected from surges or short circuits.
●POWER ON/OFF is controlled by the switch at the back of the
machine. The machine is on when the (-) side is pressed and off when
the “o” side is.
● In case of a blown fuse always contact Technical Support before
replacing anything.
The standard for laser safety is the American Standard for the Safe Use of Lasers, Z136.12000. Developed by the American National
Standards Institute (ANSI) it is the basis for many federal regulations and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) guidelines
for laser and laser system manufacturers. It contains detailed information concerning the proper installation and use of laser systems. While
the ANSI standard is not a law, its recommendations, including warning signage, training, and the designation of a laser safety officer, may
be mandatory under local regulations. It is the operator's responsibility to ensure that the installation and operation of the Full Spectrum
Desktop Laser System are performed following applicable laws. Copies of ANSI Standard Z136.12000 are available from:
LASER INSTITUTE OF AMERICA 12424 RESEARCH PARKWAY, SUITE 125 ORLANDO, FL 32826 (407) 3801553.
