2. Safety Precautions

Your safety is paramount. The ORTUR Laser Master 2 S2 LF incorporates several safety features, but it is crucial to follow all precautions during operation.

• Eye Protection: The machine features a panoramic filter glass protective cover that filters 97% of ultraviolet light. While this reduces the need for separate goggles, always exercise caution and avoid direct eye exposure to the laser beam.
• G-sensor Protection: A G-sensor on the motherboard automatically stops the laser if the engraving machine is displaced during operation.
• USB Disconnection Safety: If your computer system halts or the USB cable disconnects, causing the laser engraver to stop moving, the laser beam will automatically cease to prevent fire hazards.
• Idle Shutdown: If the engraving machine is turned on but remains stationary for an extended period, the laser will automatically turn off.
• Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation in your workspace to dissipate fumes produced during engraving or cutting.
• Flammable Materials: Keep flammable materials away from the working area.
