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 materia that may generate toxic fumes, such as PVC
and Teflon.
Regularly clean and maintain your machine according to our cleaning and maintenance
Instructions in Chapter 8. Doing so will ensure your machine will operate effectively and
safely over a long period of time.
