fire extinguisher ready at hand in the immediate vicinity of the device.
If a main laser beam comes into contact with inflammable material, e.g. paper, the latter may ignite, quickly
leading to fire. Therefore, before switching on the laser and after deactivating the Standby-mode you must
make sure that there is no inflammable material in the path of the laser beam.
Furthermore, gases formed beneath the material being processed may ignite, especially if the extraction
requirements are not met.
The risk of flaming is increased in case of insufficient care and cleaning as well.
Additionally, regularly control the air cooling system on your laser. In particular, the filters and ventilators
should be checked regularly for proper function to avoid defects caused by overheating.
