1.5 Safety Measures
• LASER RADIATION WARNING: Exposure to laser radiation may result in physical burns and
severe eye damage. Proper use and regular maintenance of this machine is important to the
safety of all people in the immediate area.
• Prior to operation, carefully read and familiarize yourself with the warning labels located on
both your laser system and in this manual.
• Never leave the machine unattended during the laser cutting and engraving process. The laser
may ignite combustible materials. A well-maintained re extinguisher and operational smoke or
re detector should be kept in the vicinity of the machine.
NOTE
SmartGUARD™ is an optional re detection alarm system developed by GCC. Contact
your local GCC authorized distributor for more details for having this safety option installed
onto your system.
•
Enable the SmartAIR™ nozzle when engraving or cutting materials that may easily ignite,
such as acrylic, wood, or paper.
• Always wear safety goggles when the laser system is in operation. Reective materials such as
mirrors, enameled brass and anodized aluminum may partially-reect some of the invisible laser
radiation. Severe eye damage may occur if appropriate safety goggles are not worn.
NOTE
Each LaserPro laser machine is shipped with a single pair of safety goggles. If additional
safety goggles are required, please contact GCC directly or an authorized GCC distributor.
If you wish to purchase one on your own, please make sure the safety goggles meet
these requirements:
10,600 nm OD5+
Visible Light Transmission: 92.9%
• Connect the machine to a properly grounded power outlet. Ensure the voltage of the power
source is identical to the voltage of the machine.
• Do not open the laser access panel when the machine is plugged in.
•
Do not attempt to modify or disassemble the laser module.
• Do not attempt to remove or modify any component of the machine’s laser interlock safety
system.
• Ensure the immediate work area of the machine is well-ventilated. Odors, vapors, and dust
are by products generated during the laser engraving and cutting process. An exhaust system,
vacuum cutting box, and honeycomb table are recommended. Please contact GCC or your
local GCC distributor for more information.
• Do not laser heat-sensitive surfaces or materials that may generate toxic fumes, such as PVC
and Teon.
