Safety
Laser engravers/cutters are cool tools. They can also be extremely dangerous. There are certain things you should NEVER do with a laser engraver/cutter. If you do these things, you will at a minimum be restricted from using our laser.
DO NOT leave the laser unattended.
-
- You must monitor the laser at all times for the duration that you are using it. Someone needs to be able to safely shut down the machine and mitigate a potential hazard if unexpected behavior occurs.
DO NOT open the laser door while the tool is in operation.
- This is an incredibly bad thing to do, as this laser has the potential to cause permanent blindness, amongst other things. There is no reason to do this while the machine is in operation.
DO NOT stare at the beam without eye protection.
- You should always be wearing some basic form of eye protection (safety glasses) when operating this machine.
DO NOT use hazardous or unapproved materials
