Laser Safety Information
The 10W Laser Module is a Class 4 laser product. You should operate this product only
if you have sufficient knowledge of (i) the physical properties of laser radiation, (ii) Laser
Hazard Classes and associated health implications, and (iii) safety measures.
This product must be used together with the Enclosure released by Snapmaker or
certified partners of Snapmaker. Please follow the Quick Start Guide of the Enclosure to
install and use the Enclosure. During operation, the Enclosure helps to prevent the risk
of laser leakage by effectively filtering laser radiation and pausing the ongoing job if any
door of the Enclosure is opened.
All the users and bystanders must correctly wear the laser safety goggles released by
Snapmaker or certified partners of Snapmaker during operation. Before use, please
purchase sufficient pairs of the laser safety goggles for all the people present.

Quick Start Guide 5
An air purifier should be used depending on the type and constituent of the materials
you are going to use, as some materials may release hazardous and toxic fumes when
being laser engraved or cut. Ensure that the air purifier you choose is effective enough to
protect human health and prevent environmental pollution.
During machine operation, do not touch the laser aperture nor expose yourself to the
laser beam.
Remove any reflective material from the work area underneath the 10W Laser Module, as
it may cause scattered radiation and poses safety risks. Ensure that there is no reflective
material on the work area during operation.
Remove any inflammable and explosive material from the work area underneath the
10W Laser Module, as it may cause a fire. Ensure that there is no inflammable and
explosive material on the work area during operation.
The laser safety goggles are specially designed for
this product. However, the laser safety goggles may
not be able to provide you with effective protection
when you operate other products. Wear proper
protective equipment depending on the product you
operate. Snapmaker does not assume responsibility
and expressly disclaims liability for any personal
injury or property damage suffered by the user or
any third party from wearing this pair of laser safety
goggles to operate other products.
Information of the Laser Safety Goggles in the Parts List
The laser safety goggles block direct, reflected, and scattered laser beams and radiation
with the wavelength between 190 and 540 nanometers (nm) from entering your eyes
and have an optical density higher than 6 (OD 6+), thus providing protection while you
operate the 10W Laser Module.
The lenses might be burned when subjected to high-energy laser beams, and if this
happens, you must stop using the damaged goggles and use a new pair. The lenses are
made of polycarbonate. Avoid scraping them. Use PH neutral detergent or water to clean
them.
