Discription of Appropriate Use
This device is designed for laser cutting and engraving of the materials listed in the VLS printer driver. Materials to be processed must fit completely inside the system for proper operation. Use of the equipment in a manner other than
that described in this manual may result in injury to yourself and others and may cause severe damage to the equipment and your facility.
CAUTION
: This device is not designed, tested, intended or authorized for use in any medical applications, surgical applications, medical device manufacturing or any similar procedure or process requiring approval, testing or
certification by the United States Food and Drug Administration or other similar governmental entities.
General Safety
Use of the equipment in a manner other than described in this manual or failure to follow the operational instructions and safety guidelines listed in this manual can result in personal injury and may cause damage to the equipment
and surrounding property.
EXPOSURE TO THE LASER MATERIAL PROCESSING BEAM CAN RESULT IN BURNS TO THE SKIN AND CAN CAUSE SEVERE EYE DAMAGE. Proper use and care of this system are essential to safe
operation. Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in exposure to hazardous laser radiation.
Never operate the laser system without constant supervision of all cutting, marking, and engraving processes. Exposure to the laser beam may cause ignition of combustible materials which can lead to a fire. A
properly maintained fire extinguisher should be kept on hand at all times.
Never leave materials in the laser system after laser material processing. Always remove all material including scrap material from the machine after use. Scrap material left in the laser system, including materials
that collect in the removable Flow-Through Cutting Table, can be a fire hazard. Materials can be hot after laser material processing so caution should be used when handling material immediately after laser
material processing. A properly maintained fire extinguisher should be kept on hand at all times.
A properly configured, installed, maintained and operational particulate and fume exhaust system is mandatory when operating the laser system. Fumes and smoke from the laser material processing must be
extracted from the laser system and filtered or exhausted outside.
SOME MATERIALS, WHEN ENGRAVED, MARKED OR CUT WITH A LASER, CAN PRODUCE TOXIC AND CORROSIVE FUMES. Obtain the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) from the manufacturer of every
material to be processed. The MSDS discloses all of the hazards when handling or processing a particular material. DISCONTINUE processing any materials that cause chemical deterioration of the laser system
such as rust, metal etching or pitting, peeling paint, etc. Damage to the laser system from corrosive fumes is NOT covered under warranty.
