Section 2: Dos and Don’ts
In This Section
Operating Dos and Don’ts
DON’T!
NEVER 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.
NEVER 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.
NEVER 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.
NEVER vector cut any material while the machine is unattended. Because vector
cutting moves relatively slowly compared to raster engraving, a tremendous
amount of heat is applied to the material being cut. This build up of heat can
cause significant fire risk and the machine should always be monitored.
Additionally, the Air Curtain should always be turned on when vector cutting to
reduce the risk of fire.
NEVER operate with any of the covers or enclosures removed, and never modify
the enclosure. The laser beam is invisible!
