2. Sicherheitshinweise

Der Betrieb eines Lasergravierers birgt gewisse Risiken. Beachten Sie alle Sicherheitsrichtlinien, um Verletzungen oder Schäden zu vermeiden.

• Augenschutz: Always wear the provided laser safety glasses when the machine is in operation. The laser filter cover blocks 98% of UV light, but direct exposure to the laser beam can cause permanent eye damage. Ensure anyone in the vicinity also wears protective eyewear.
• Brandgefahr: Laser engraving and cutting can generate heat and sparks, potentially igniting flammable materials. Never leave the machine unattended during operation. Keep a fire extinguisher nearby. The included A4 steel pad should be used to protect your work surface and reduce fire risk.
• Belüftung: Ensure adequate ventilation in your workspace. Laser processing can produce fumes and particles that may be harmful if inhaled. Operate in a well-ventilated area or use an appropriate fume extraction system.
• Materialsicherheit: Only engrave or cut materials known to be safe for laser processing. Avoid materials that produce toxic fumes or are highly flammable (e.g., PVC, certain plastics).
• Kinder und Haustiere: Keep children and pets away from the operating area. The laser dot can attract attention, posing a risk of eye injury.
• Elektrische Sicherheit: Ensure the power supply is correctly connected and grounded. Do not operate the machine with damaged cables or connectors.
