Page for getting folks up to speed on the laser. |
|||
== Safety == |
|||
'''Don't cut anything particularly flammable or noxious.''' Check the [[Laser_infobase#Things_you_should_not_put_in_the_laser_cutter | Laser Infobase page for this list]] |
|||
===Fire=== |
|||
When using the laser, whether for engraving or cutting, stay and watch your job. |
|||
Know where the fire extinguisher is and be ready to use it. |
|||
If your job catches on fire: |
|||
*You are more important than the laser--do not put yourself in unnecessary danger to save the laser. (Cf. Bloominglabs rules) |
|||
*Use your judgment--flare-ups will happen, and most go out quickly (a second or so) on their own. |
|||
*Any flame lasting longer than a second or two is a fire--put it out. |
|||
===Eye safety=== |
|||
Do not look directly into either the cutting laser or even the visible targeting laser. |
|||
Make sure the lid is down before you even try starting your job. There is an integrated safety lock-out, but don't rely on this. |
|||
The lid should absorb most laser radiation, but if you're cutting reflective material, it wouldn't hurt to use the tinted safety glasses (should be located near the laser). |
|||
== Quick Start == |
|||
* Turn on main power strip |
|||
* Verify water pump and ventilation fan is running |
|||
* Connect your windows-based computer |
|||
== Additional lenses == |
|||
== Using the removable bottom == |
