1.5 Safety Measures
•
LASER RADIATION WARNING:
Exposure to laser radiation may result in physical burns
and severe eye damage. Proper use and regular maintenance of this machine is
important to the safety of all people in the immediate area.
•
Prior to operation, carefully read and familiarize yourself with the warning labels located
on both your laser system and in this manual.
•
Never leave the machine unattended during the laser cutting and engraving process. The
laser may ignite combustible materials. A well-maintained fire extinguisher and
operational smoke or fire detector should be kept in the vicinity of the machine.
NOTE
SmartGUARD™ is an optional fire detection alarm system developed by GCC. Contact
your local GCC authorized distributor for more details for having this safety option
installed onto your system.
•
Enable the SmartAIR™ nozzle when engraving or cutting materials that may easily ignite,
such as acrylic, wood, or paper.
•
Always wear safety goggles when the laser system is in operation. Reflective materials
such as mirrors, enameled brass and anodized aluminum may partially-reflect some of
the invisible laser radiation. Severe eye damage may occur if appropriate safety goggles
are not worn.
NOTE
Each LaserPro laser machine is shipped with a single pair of safety goggles. If
additional safety goggles are required, please contact GCC directly or an authorized
GCC distributor. If you wish to purchase one on your own, please make sure the safety
goggles meet these requirements:
190 - 398 nm OD5+
10,600 nm OD5+
Visible Light Transmission: 92.9%
•
Connect the machine to a properly grounded power outlet. Ensure the voltage of the
power source is identical to the voltage of the machine.
•
Do not open the laser access panel when the machine is plugged in.
•
Do not attempt to modify or disassemble the laser module.
•
Do not attempt to remove or modify any component of the machine’s laser interlock
safety system.
•
Ensure the immediate work area of the machine is well-ventilated. Odors, vapors, and
dust are byproducts 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.
