• Hudbeskyttelse: Avoid direct exposure of skin to the laser beam.
• Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation in the work area to dissipate fumes and smoke generated during cutting and engraving. Some materials can produce toxic fumes.
• Brandfare: Laser cutting and engraving can ignite flammable materials. Always supervise the machine during operation and have fire suppression equipment readily available.
• Arbejdsområde: Operate the laser in a controlled environment, away from children and pets. Ensure the work surface is non-flammable.
• Strømforsyning: Use only the provided power adapter or a compatible power supply that meets the module's specifications.
• Nødstop: Familiarize yourself with the emergency stop procedure for your laser engraver machine.
• Temperaturovervågning: The module features a temperature display and alarm. If the working temperature exceeds 55°C, an alarm will sound. Discontinue operation and allow the module to cool down.
