2. Safety Precautions
- Enclosure Use: This safety set is designed for use with laser machines operating within an enclosed space (up to 0.13m³). Open-frame machines require an enclosure for effective flame extinguishing.
- CO2 Gas: The system uses CO2 gas for extinguishing, which is pollution-free and non-toxic. However, ensure proper ventilation after an extinguishing event.
- Gas Bottle Replacement: The CO2 gas bottles are consumable. Replace them after they have been discharged. Always use genuine xTool replacement bottles.
- Flame Detection: The system is designed to detect flames that may cause significant damage. Small, momentary flames that do not pose a risk may not trigger the extinguishing mechanism.
- Regular Checks: Periodically check the system's status indicators to ensure it is functioning correctly.

5. Operating Instructions
The xTool Safety Set operates primarily in an automatic mode, but also offers manual control:
5.1 Automatic Flame Extinguishing Mode
When a flame is detected within the laser machine's enclosure, the system initiates a four-step safety protocol:
- Auto Flame Detection: The sensor detects the presence of a flame.
- Auto Alarm Triggering: An audible alarm is activated to alert the user.
- Auto Power Cut: The laser machine's power supply is automatically cut off to prevent further operation.
- Auto Flame Extinguishing: CO2 gas is released into the enclosure to suppress the flame.

5.2 Manual Flame Extinguishing Mode
In addition to automatic detection, you can manually activate the extinguishing function by pressing the dedicated flame extinguishing button on the main control unit. This allows for immediate response if you observe a flame before the automatic system triggers.
6. Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and safety, regular maintenance is required:
- Gas Bottle Replacement: After the system has discharged CO2 gas, the used bottles must be replaced. Ensure the system is powered off before replacing bottles.
- Sensor Cleaning: Periodically inspect and gently clean the flame detection sensor to ensure it remains free of dust or debris that could obstruct its view.
- System Check: Regularly check the indicator lights on the main unit to confirm proper functioning. Consult the troubleshooting section if any error indicators are present.
7. Troubleshooting
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| System does not extinguish a small flame. | The system is designed to respond to flames that pose a significant risk. Minor, momentary flames may not trigger the extinguishing mechanism. | This is normal operation. For any persistent or growing flame, use the manual extinguishing button. |
| Alarm sounds but no flame is visible. | Sensor obstruction or malfunction. | Check the sensor for any debris or blockages. Ensure it is securely connected. If the issue persists, contact customer support. |
| CO2 gas does not discharge when triggered. | Empty gas bottles or improper installation. | Verify that the gas bottles are correctly installed and not empty. Replace if necessary. |
