Chapter 1 Safety
1.1 Safety Regulation
The i.LASER series uses a CO2 Laser as a light source. t is classified as a class-
R
product by CDRH (the Center for Devices and Radiological Health).
Wavelength : 10.6µm
Maximum output po er : 30 ~ 100W
Visibility : Invisible
When operating the i.LASER series, be sure to al ays
comply
ith the safety regulations as follo ing:
Do not attempt to modify or disassemble any component of the machine without
LTT technical support.
Do not open the doors of chassis and access the laser tube
or electronic
components, especially while the machine power is on.
Connect the machine to a grounded outlet. Verify that the voltage of the outlet
is correct for the machine.
Do not disable the interlocks which are on top and front doors.
Be careful about the path of the invisible laser beam shown in figure.
Otherwise,
eye or skin injury may result.
Chapter 1 Safety
5
Do not watch the laser beam directly during operation. Bright light
caused by
the lasing process can damage the eye.
The side and rear doors are fixed by screws for safety. f you open these doors,
the i.LASER will become a Class 4 laser device
. For your safe, please wear
protective goggles.
The laser beam may cause fire. Never leave machine

operator watching during the laser cutting and engraving process.
Keep a fire
extinguisher near the machine at all times.
Blowing materials with air flow from nozzle while cutting or engraving can avoid
fire occurring and also obtain good quality.
Verify that materials used in the engraver are proper for lasing. Never engrave
or cut substrates that contain PVC or Teflon.
Good efficiency of exhaust system makes you avoid breathing dust, debris
or
poison gas.
