Laser Cutter Safety

Toxic Gases Produced During Laser Cutting
Laser cutter extraction must be used during all laser operations. Do not use your own material without permission from a technician.

Fire Hazard
The laser cutter cuts material by burning. Do not leave the laser running unattended at any time. The material may catch fire and damage the machine or cause danger to life.

Invisible Laser Radiation
Invisible laser radiation is present when interlocks are disabled or covers are removed. Do not operate with the covers removed or interlocks disabled, danger of permanent eye injury to yourself or bystanders.

Crush Hazard
There is a risk of crushing injury from moving or closing parts. Keep clear of the laser gantry and moving bed during operation.

Optical Radiation
Intense optical radiation is produced during operation. Do not stare at the laser even through the safety glass.

Keep the machine clean
Debris from previous jobs can catch fire or cause a machine jam. Clean out the machine once you've finished your work.
If you have any questions about the safety instructions above please ask a technician.
