Step 6 – Material Removal and Reloading
Once the laser system has completed processing the material, the laser beam will turn off, the focus
carriage will move to the home position in the upper right hand corner, and the red light on the keypad will
turn OFF.
Before opening the top door, wait a few seconds to let any remaining fumes that are leftover from the
laser engraving or cutting process, to evacuate through the exhaust system. Open the top door and
remove the material. Some materials will continue to emit fumes, from several minutes to sometimes
hours, after the engraving or cutting process is completed. We recommend that you relocate these
materials to a well-ventilated and unoccupied area.
WARNING:
Some materials, when engraved or cut with a laser, can produce toxic and
caustic fumes. We suggest that you obtain the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) from
the materials manufacturer. The MSDS discloses all of the hazards when handling or
processing that material.
Note: If you start a file with the top or front door open you may notice that a red dot pointer
appears on the Z-axis table simulating where the CO2 laser beam will fire. However, please note
that the red dot pointer is NOT triggered like the laser beam itself and while the system is
simulating raster engraving or vector cutting, the area in which the Red Dot moves actually
represents the complete motion of the mechanical assembly, and is not an exact indication of
where the CO2 laser beam will burn. The laser beam will be activated somewhere within that
motion depending on the graphic itself.
