Safety First (Important)
1. General safety
Read and get familiar with all safety protocols and procedures before operating the Laserbox. Users
shall strictly follow all safety precautions and ensure that the Laserbox is properly assembled and in
working order.
01
Please observe the following operating principles:
Be sure to check the Laserbox for damage every time before use. Do not operate any damaged or
defective Laserbox in any way.
Please keep the workspace clean and flat. Note that the laser tube is made of glass and is very fragile. If it
is broken, the Laserbox will fail to work.
Without authorization, please do not disassemble or change the Laserbox structure in any other way; and
please do not modify or decompile the operating system of the Laserbox.
Please keep the inside of the Laserbox clean. Residues and chippings accumulated during cutting and
engraving are dangerous and may cause fire. Clean the chippings and residues in the honeycomb panel
and tray regularly.
The working temperature of laser is between 5 °C and 25 °C. It is strictly prohibited to operate below 0 °C.
2. Laser safety
Under normal circumstances, the CO2 laser tube is completely enclosed in a casing during operation. The Laserbox has a safety interlock switch. If the
lid is lied during operation, the Laserbox will stop working to prevent harming people. No special precautions are required to ensure laser safety.
The reference standard for laser safety is American National Standard for Safe Use of Lasers (Z136.1-2000), which is provided by the American National
Standards Institute (ANSI). This reference is the basis for federal regulations and laser system manufacturers, as well as the laser safety guidelines of
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). It contains details on the proper installation and use of laser systems.
Please observe the following safety guidelines:
Never operate the Laserbox with any parts removed, such as tray. Please note that the absence of any part of the Laserbox may expose the laser
system and increase the risk of equipment damage. Remember that the CO2 laser beam is invisible.
Do not engrave or cut any material that contains PVC or vinyl (processed plastics are not recommended). These materials (and other materials
containing chlorine/chloride) can generate corrosive vapor that is extremely harmful to the human body and can cause damage to the Laserbox.
Any damage caused by engraving or cutting any material containing PVC or vinyl is not covered by Makeblock’s warranty.
Do not engrave or cut any unknown material. Vaporization/melting of many materials, include, but not limited to, PVC and polycarbonate, will release
harmful smoke.
Laser operation is prohibited when the lid/tray is lied. Make sure that the Laserbox is closed by the lid/tray during operation and do not tamper with
the safety mechanism of the lid.
Do not operate the Laserbox before properly connecting smoke purifier. Most materials produce irritating smoke when being processed.
These include, but are not limited to, paints, varnishes, composite boards, and plastics that can produce hazardous compounds during processing.
