SECTION 8
Sample Materials
This section provides driver settings and helpful hints to get started engraving and/or cutting
various materials. These settings are to serve as a starting point and are not necessarily
optimized for each particular application.
Safety
NEVER LEAVE THE SYSTEM RUNNING UNATTENDED FOR ANY REASON. Exposure to
the laser beam can cause ignition of combustible materials. All cutting and engraving should be
constantly supervised.
NEVER OPERATE THE LASER SYSTEM WITHOUT A PROPERLY INSTALLED AND
OPERATING EXHAUST SYSTEM. Some materials when cut or engraved can produce fumes
that are hazardous in concentrated amounts. Also make sure that your room is adequately
ventilated as some materials will continue to produce fumes for several minutes to possibly
hours after the cutting or engraving process has been completed. Since many materials can
produce toxic and possibly caustic fumes or residue, it is advisable to obtain the Material Safety
Data Sheet (MSDS) from the materials manufacturer. The MSDS discloses all of the hazards
when handling or processing that material. The law requires all manufacturers to provide this
information to anyone who requests it.
