1.2 Designated Use
The TROTEC laser engraver, Speedy 400 flexx, is used for engraving and cutting of
signs, stamps and suchlike.
A wide variety of materials such as rubber, acrylic, coated metal, tin, special steel,
anodized aluminum, cork, cardboard, glass, leather, marble, several plastics and
wood can be processed on the laser.
The working process must only be performed with a perfectly adjusted
machine (see also Section 4 OPERATION).
For cutting applications with 40 W and more the use of the cutting
table is absolutely necessary.
Use of the system in other areas is against the designated use. The
manufacturer does not admit liability for damage to personal and/or
equipment resulting from such use.
The system must only be operated, maintained and repaired, by
personnel that are familiar with the designated field of use and the
dangers of the machine!
Non-observance of the instructions for operation, maintenance and
repair described in this Operation Manual excludes any liability of the
manufacturer if a defect occurs.
Caution when processing conductive materials (carbon fibers,)!
Conductive dust or particles in the ambient air might damage electrical
components and lead to short circuits. Bear in mind that those defects
are NOT warranted.
1.3 Disposal remarks
Do not dispose the machine with domestic waste!
Electronic devices have to be disposed according to the regional
directives on electronic and electric waste disposal. In case of
further questions, please ask your supplier. He might take care of
proper disposal.
