Section 3: Dos and Don’ts
In This Section
¾ Operating Dos and Don’ts
DON’T!
DON’T operate the machine without a properly operating vent to the outside! Most
material will only produce an irritating smoke when engraved. Some materials,
including but not limited to paint, varnish, composition board and plastics, produce
compounds that can be harmful if concentrated. A properly installed vent is the only
way to ensure that problems do not occur.
DON’T engrave or cut any material containing PVC or vinyl. When engraved, a
corrosive agent is produced that will destroy your machine. Your warranty will be
void if your machine is damaged by corrosion from engraving or cutting PVC or
Vinyl.
DON’T operate your machine unattended. There is a significant risk of fire if the
machine is set improperly, or if the machine should experience a mechanical or
electrical failure while operating.
DON’T engrave or cut acrylic material unattended. This is a popular material to laser
however its fumes are extremely flammable and cause flare up in your machine.
Always watch carefully when using this material.
DON’T operate with any of the covers or enclosures removed, and never modify the
enclosure. The laser beam is invisible!
DO
Please allow a few minutes a week for cleaning your machine. Just a small amount of
effort at the end of the week will pay off with years of trouble free operation of your
machine. See Section 9 “Engraving Machine Maintenance” of this manual for
specifics.
