2. Sikkerhedsretningslinjer

Betjening af en lasergravør kræver nøje overholdelse af sikkerhedsprotokoller for at forhindre skader og beskadigelse. Prioritér altid sikkerhed.

Generelle sikkerhedsforanstaltninger:

• Øjenbeskyttelse: Always wear certified laser safety glasses when the laser is active. Never look directly at the laser beam.
• Ventilation: Operate the engraver in a well-ventilated area to dissipate smoke and fumes produced during engraving or cutting.
• Brandsikkerhed: Hav en brandslukker i nærheden. Lad ikke maskinen være uden opsyn under drift, især når du arbejder med brandfarlige materialer.
• Materiale kompatibilitet: Ensure the material you are engraving or cutting is safe for laser processing. Avoid materials that produce toxic fumes or are highly reflective.
• Børn og kæledyr: Hold børn og kæledyr væk fra operationsområdet.

Integrerede sikkerhedsfunktioner:

• Anti-Dumping Device: A built-in horizontal gyro sensor detects if the laser module tilts by 20° or more, automatically stopping operation for safety.
• Aktiv positionsbeskyttelse: Detects vibration and tilt, pausing operation to prevent unintended engraving.
• Laserstrålesikkerhedsskærm: Features a USB watchdog detection function to monitor laser activity.
