2. Linee guida di sicurezza
Operating a laser engraver requires adherence to strict safety protocols. Failure to follow these guidelines can result in serious injury or damage to the equipment.
- Protezione degli occhi: Never look directly into the laser beam. The machine features a widened viewing window made from flame-retardant material for safe observation.
- Ventilazione: Ensure adequate ventilation to remove smoke and fumes generated during operation. The integrated air assist system helps keep the work area clear.
- Automatic Cover Interlock: The laser automatically shuts off when the lid is opened, preventing accidental exposure to the laser beam.
- Compatibilità dei materiali: Only engrave or cut materials approved for CO2 lasers. Refer to the material compatibility chart in Section 5.
- Arresto di emergenza: Familiarizzare con la posizione e il funzionamento del pulsante di arresto di emergenza.
