Fire Warning! 

 

Your laser system uses a high intensity beam of light that can generate extremely 
high temperatures when it comes into contact with the material being engraved, 
marked or cut.  Some materials are extremely flammable and can easily ignite and 
burst into open flame setting the machine afire.  This open flame is very 
dangerous and has the potential to destroy not only the machine, but the building 
in which it is housed. 

Experience shows that vector cutting with the laser has the most potential to 
create an open flame.  Many materials are susceptible to igniting, but acrylic, in 
all its different forms, has been shown to be especially flammable when vector 
cutting with the laser. 

Please read the following warnings and recommendations and follow them closely 
at all times! 

 

NEVER

 let the laser system operate if it will be unattended. 

 

KEEP

 the area around the machine clean and free of clutter, combustible 

materials, explosives, or volatile solvents such as acetone, alcohol, or 
gasoline. 

 

ALWAYS

 keep a properly maintained and inspected fire extinguisher on 

hand.  Epilog recommends a Halotron fire extinguisher or a multi-purpose 
dry chemical fire extinguisher. The Halotron extinguishers are more 
expensive than a dry chemical, but offer certain advantages should you 
ever need to use an extinguisher.  The Halotron extinguisher discharges a 
clean, easily removable substance that is not harmful to the mechanics or 
wiring of the laser system.  The dry chemical extinguisher discharges a 
sticky, corrosive powder that is very difficult to clean up. 

 

ALWAYS

 use air assist when vector cutting. 

 

BE

 

CAREFUL

! when vector cutting. Many materials have the potential to 

burst suddenly into flames – even materials that may be very familiar to 
the user.  Always monitor the machine when it is operating. 

 

KEEP

 

YOUR

 

LASER

 

SYSTEM

 

CLEAN

 – A build up of cutting and 

engraving reside and debris is dangerous and can create a fire hazard in its 
own right.  Keep your laser system clean and free of debris.  Regularly 
remove the vector grid to clean any small pieces that have fallen through 
the grid.
