Air assist greatly reduces flaming that may occur if too much laser power is applied
to the wood piece being cut.
Depending on the type of wood being vector cut, it is sometimes advantageous to
apply a cover of masking or transfer tape to the surface before cutting. The masking
tape will reduce residue buildup on the top surface of the wood surrounding the cut
line.
Warning:
Wood is a combustible material. Never leave your laser unattended
while vector cutting any material. Air assist greatly reduces flaming that may occur if
too much laser power is applied to the wood piece being cut.
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.
Wood Cleaning Techniques
When laser engraving or cutting wood, resin in the wood comes to the surface, mixes
with the smoke and is deposited as a residue. If the wood has a coating of
