Safety first (important)
1. General safety
Read and get familiar with all safety precautions and procedures before using the machine. Strictly follow all safety precautions. Ensure that the machine is properly assembled and is working properly.
Follow the operating principles:
- Check the machine for damage every time before you use it. Do not operate it in any way when any damage or defect is found.
- Ensure that the workspace is clean and flat.
- Do not disassemble the machine or change its structure in any way without authorization. Do not modify or decompile its operating system.
- Do not leave the device unattended during operation. Pay attention to whether it is working properly.
- Keep the inside of the machine clean. Residues and chippings accumulated during cutting and engraving are dangerous and may cause a fire. Clean the chippings and residues inside the work area regularly.
- The machine works properly at the temperature of 10°C to 30°C. Do not operate it at a temperature lower than 0°C.
2. Laser safety
Under normal circumstances, the laser is blocked by the device body and protective enclosure during operation. Before using xTool F1 to process an object, ensure that the protective enclosure is pulled down to cover the object. If the protective enclosure cannot fully cover the object, you need to wear safety goggles that can shield your eyes from 455 nm and 1064 nm laser beams. The device has a safety interlock switch. If the device is moved during operation, it will stop working to prevent harming people.
Follow the safety precautions:
-
Do not operate the machine when any part of it is removed. Removing any part may expose the laser system and cause damage to the machine.
-
Do not engrave or cut any material that contains PVC or vinyl (processing plastics is not recommended).
These materials (and other materials containing chlorine/chloride) can generate corrosive vapor that is extremely harmful to the human body and can cause damage to the device. Any damage caused by engraving or cutting any material containing PVC or vinyl is not covered by the Company’s warranty. -
Do not engrave or cut any unknown materials. Vaporization or melting of many materials, which include but are not limited to PVC and polycarbonate, may release harmful smoke.
-
Do not leave the device unattended during operation. Pay attention to whether it is working properly.
3. Fire safety
A high-density laser beam is used by the device to irradiate the material to be cut or engraved, so as to heat up the material surface and vaporize the material without burning. But most materials are inherently flammable and may be ignited to form an open flame that can burn down the device (even if it is made of flame-retardant materials) and its surroundings. Experience shows that vector cutting with a laser is most likely to produce an open flame.
Read the following warnings and suggestions carefully:
- Ensure that the workspace is well-ventilated so that the generated smoke can be discharged in time.
- Do not stack materials (especially organic ones, such as paper) around the machine. They may cause the spread of flames and increase the risk of material ignition.
- Do not leave the machine unattended when it is working. If the machine works with setting errors and is left unattended for a long period of time, or if a mechanical or electrical fault occurs, a fire may be caused.
- Clean the device regularly. Excessive accumulation of residues and chippings from cutting and engraving would increase the risk of fire. The Internal working area needs to be cleaned periodically to ensure that there is no residue or chipping inside the device.
- Ensure that the area around the machine is clean without any cluttered flammable materials, explosives, or volatile solvents, such as acetone, alcohol, or gasoline.
- Keep a fire extinguisher and perform regular maintenance and inspection of it.
- When xTool F1 cuts or engraves flammable materials at low speed and high power, the materials are prone to be ignited to form an open flame. If an open flame occurs, please stop processing in time.
4. Electrical safety
Read the following warnings and suggestions carefully:
- Do not open any access panel on the device when the device is connected to the power supply. Accidental contact with the power supply may cause injury.
- Do not touch any electronic area with your hands or other tools when the machine is connected to a power supply.
