Safety Information
Operating a laser engraver requires strict adherence to safety guidelines to prevent injury and damage. Please read and understand all safety warnings before operating the ATOMSTACK A6 Pro.
- Eye Protection: Always wear appropriate laser safety goggles when the laser is active, even with the protective enclosure. The B3 Protective Box offers significant protection, but direct exposure to the laser beam can cause severe eye damage.
- Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation in your workspace. Laser engraving and cutting can produce fumes and particles that may be harmful if inhaled. The B3 Protective Box includes an efficient exhaust system.
- Fire Hazard: Laser engraving involves high temperatures and can ignite flammable materials. Never leave the machine unattended during operation. Keep a fire extinguisher nearby.
- Material Compatibility: Only engrave or cut materials specified as safe for laser processing. Avoid materials that produce toxic fumes or can easily catch fire, such as PVC.
- Emergency Stop: Familiarize yourself with the emergency stop button. The B3 Protective Box features interlocks that automatically shut off the laser if the cover is opened during operation.
- Children and Pets: Keep children and pets away from the laser engraver at all times.
