Notes

Using the hight-density laser beam to heat up the workpiece surface when engraving or cutting aims to gasify without combustion. While most workpieces are essentially combustible, which may be ignited, leading to open fire and consequently to the machine breakdown and environment contamination. Please follow the following operating principles.

It is prohibited to store the machine in areas close to combustible and explosive substances, volatile solvents, or source of heat. Instead, store in a well-ventilated, cool, and dust-free place.
Make sure that only the specific attached power cord rather than other similar power cords are used during installation.
Do regular maintenance. Clean the product with a dry cloth when the power isturned off, wiping away dust and foreign matter.
Ensure to turn the laser at 0°C-35°C. Operation at sub-zero temperature is prohibited.
Switch off the machine if it is offline for an extended period of time and unplug the power cord. It is prohibited to run the machine under wet environment or in thunderstorm weather.
It is prohibited to come in contact with electronic areas with hands or other tools when the machine is connected to power supply.
Touching any moving parts and laser module while the machine is running is prohibited.
Wear goggles to prevent vision damage arising from exposure to the laser spot during laser engraving operation.
It is advisable to run the machine under well ventilated condition at laser engraving may generate small amount of fume or gas.
Children under 10 years old are not allowed to run the machine without adult presence, which otherwise may lead to personal injury.
