Personal Safety Precautions
All customers should become familiar with all aspects of their machines.
Any person who operates or does any maintenance on this equipment should be aware that safety procedures are
an important part of the daily job. Customers and related personnel should work with the LSO to learn how the
equipment functions and be able to respect the capabilities of the machinery. Anyone working on or around the
equipment should understand the potential losses associated with mishandling the machinery and its parts and be
able and willing to follow all safety precautions. Sudden movement, loud noises, horseplay, etc. must be avoided,
as such distractions may result in unsafe conditions.
Accidents can occur if clothing or other articles become entangled in the laser head or other moving parts of the
machines. The following suggestions, if followed, will reduce the chance of having these types of accidents:
1.
Wear
approved eye and hearing protection
at all times when operating the laser. Safety eye wear must
be correctly rated for the laser to ensure safety compliance. Customers will receive at least 1 set of
appropriate eye wear and may purchase any additional sets of eye wear for personnel who will be
involved simultaneously with the laser.
2.
Restrain long hair with a
cap or net
when near the machines.
3.
Avoid wearing neckties and scarves during machine operation.
4.
Avoid wearing loose fitting clothing during machine operation.
5.
Avoid wearing hanging jewelry during machine operation.
6.
Wear only cloth or lint-free gloves when working on electrical parts.
7.
Avoid operating this and any other equipment if affected by alcohol, drugs, or any other substance or
condition that may decrease judgment or alertness.
8.
Observe and follow all safety signs
on the machine and in the surrounding areas.
9.
Avoid placing hands on the tabletop when the laser is turned on.
10.
Avoid leaning or placing anything on the bellows during laser operation or at-rest as this may damage the
machine and affect the laser beam.
11.
Lock out the incoming power supply
when any type of maintenance or other work is being performed on
the machine.
Work Area Safety
Fire extinguishers should always be readily accessible, and operators should always familiarize themselves with
the fire prevention recommendations for each component of the CNC system. It is important to always keep the
work area
clean and uncluttered
. Oil, debris, or water on the floor can cause unsafe conditions. Customers
should be sure that all work areas are free of hazardous obstructions and that all tools and other equipment are
returned to their proper storage place when not in use. When working with oxygen, operators should refer to the
Safety Measures for Handling Oxygen
. Operators should never leave a laser unattended during the cutting
sequence.
Installation Safety
An electrician must read and understand the electrical schematics prior to connecting the machine to the local
power system. Connecting the wrong voltage power will void the warranty. All switches should be turned to the
OFF position before power is connected. The main disconnect switch should always be locked in the OFF
position if the machine is left unattended. When the machine is installed, the electrician or Operator should be
sure that all motors rotate in the correct direction.
