LASER SAFETY
NEVER override any of the safety switches on the laser machine or
leave the laser machine unattended while it is in operation.
NEVER operate the laser machine with the lid or any of the doors open.
These should be locked at all times.
KEYS –The laser machine has locks with keys provided with the
machine. All doors with locks must be locked and keys removed.
Only one key should be kept with the operator at any time.
Please ensure all keys are safe and away.
ALWAYS avoid looking into the laser beam.
RECOMMENDED:
It is certainly recommended that the user wears eye protection,
especially when aligning the beam. HPC LASER can supply the suitable
glasses. Alternatively 10.6 micron protective eye wear can be purchased
elsewhere if you wish to do so, we would always recommend ours. This
protection will not impair viewing and can easily be combined with safety
glasses.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY
DO NOT open the centre and lower panels of the machine when
switched on as there is voltage present. If planning to do so please
contact us on 01422 310800 for technical advice.
FIRE SAFETY
Laser machines represent a potential fire risk.
Most engraving or cutting materials are inherently combustible, and
while the objective of most engraving and cutting operations is to
vaporize material without burning, it is astonishingly easy to ignite a
flame. Usually this is a simple “flare” of burning gases, issuing from the
focused spot on the machine, which follows the moving spot and which
extinguishes itself as soon as the laser beam is modulated off. Should
the machine actually be set on fire, the fire must be extinguished by the
operator or someone nearby at once after using the emergency stop
button, or the engraver will be seriously damaged or destroyed!
Remove the debris from under the work table regularly.
NEVER operate the machine without a fume filtration system or a
properly operating vent to the outside. Most material will only produce an
irritating smoke when engraved. Some materials, including but not
limited to paint, varnish, composition board and plastics produce
compounds that can be harmful if concentrated. A properly installed vent
is the only way to ensure that problems do not occur.
NEVER engrave or cut any material containing PVC or vinyl. When
engraved, a corrosive agent is produced that will destroy your machine.
Any non-recommended materials being used on the unit should be
assessed for potential dangers: - e.g. Health & Fire Risks.
NEVER leave the machine unattended in any circumstances what so
ever. There is a significant risk of fire if the machine is set improperly, or
if the machine should experience a mechanical or electrical failure while
operating.
