Venting/Exhaust
Observe all provided
warnings and safety
instructions when using the Dremel
LC40. Failure to do so may result in fire,
equipment damage, property damage or
personal injury.
Always use the laser
cutter with a properly
functioning exhaust and/or a filtration
system. Emissions from some materials
and the long-term effects to exposure are
unknown, which may lead to personal
injury.
It is important to properly vent the laser
exhaust system. The laser melts and/or
burns material as it moves along its axis
and depending on the type of material
can generate smoke. The smoke is
composed of particulates, fumes and
gases. The exhaust is necessary to
remove these products.
Exhaust Scenarios:
Case 1; Digilab LC40 is used with
internal exhaust fan.
Case 2; Digilab LC40 is used with an
in-line exhaust duct booster fan.
Case 3; Digilab LC40 is used with an
external air filtration system.
Use Case 1: The LC40 will use the
supplied flexible duct and internal
exhaust fan to vent to the outside of the
building.
Choose a well-ventilated area to set-up
the Digilab Laser.
Securely connect one end of the flexible
exhaust duct to the laser exhaust shroud
4 ft Max.

Exhaust system configuration example using the DigiLAB internal exhaust fan. When using
the internal exhaust fan be sure to choose correct ventilation option on the LCD during the
laser startup sequence.
Attach the flexible duct to the laser exhaust manifold with the hose clamp provided. Extend
the flexible duct the required length to reach the vent hood keeping it as straight as
possible. Cut the excess duct off with wire cutters and attach to the vent hood with the
hose clamp provided. Stretching the duct and keeping it straight improves exhaust flow
through the duct.
