Laser cutting and engraving systems can present a significant fire hazard due to the extremely
high temperatures generated when the laser beam is in use.
Some material are extremely flammable, catching fire quite easily and damaging the machine
and its surroundings.
Vector Cutting has been proven to have the most potential for igniting material, however fires can be started
when performing Raster Engraving if negligent.
Please read the following warnings and recommendations before using your machine. These instructions should
be followed closely at all times.
●Always keep a properly maintained and inspected 5lbs. or larger fire extinguisher on hand. We
recommend a Halogen or multipurpose dry chemical fire extinguisher.
●Always keep the area around the machine clean and free of clutter.
●Never store any flammable materials in or near the machine.
●Never stack materials near or in your work area.
●Never operate your machine unattended.

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 that the machine is
properly assembled and in working order.
●Always inspect your machine 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 system.
●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.
●Keep your laser system clean.
●Do not disassemble the machine or remove any of its protective covers.
●Always have a first-aid kit designed for the initial treatment of burns and smoke inhalation.
●Never operate the machine with any of the panels removed.
●Never place hands or fingers into moving parts such as the Z-stage.
Section I. Safety
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. We recommend following these Safety Guidelines:
●Keep your workspace clean.
●Never engrave or cut any unknown material.
●Never leave the laser system unattended during operation.

The power supply is capable of releasing a current up to 9 Amps. This power is sent to the discharge
terminals on the machine 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.
Compliance Statement:
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.

Section II. Unboxing & AssemblySection II. Unboxing & Assembly
The MOPA Galvo has a weight of 130 lbs. At least two people are needed to lift and unbox the
machine. Do Not Lift The Box Alone.
Unboxing Steps
Follow these instructions for best results:
1. Prepare Work Space: You will need an open, level work space to place your laser cutter. A sturdy
table with room for the machine (25.5" x 13" x 23.5 for the machine + 18.5" x 8" x 16.5” for the
workspace) is recommended. Be sure the table is free of clutter and can support a minimum of
400lbs (the machine itself weighs 130 lbs).
2. Place Box: Place your box on or near your table before opening it, using either a pair of scissors or a
box cutter.
