2. Safety Information

The ATOMSTACK A24 PRO ULTRA is a Class 1 diode laser engraving machine engineered with user safety as a priority. Adherence to safety guidelines is crucial for safe operation.

• Integrated Safety Features: Equipped with a safety interlock, position movement detection, limit switches, and 2-level protection.
• Tilt Detection: An integrated gyroscope triggers an alarm and stops operation if the machine tilts more than 15-20 degrees, preventing accidental laser exposure.
• Emergency Stop Button: A prominent emergency stop button allows for immediate shutdown in unexpected situations.
• B3 Protective Enclosure: The included B3 enclosure provides protection against intense laser light and effectively blocks smoke, creating a safer working environment. It also features interlocks that automatically shut off the laser if the cover is opened during operation.
• Eye Protection: Always wear appropriate laser safety glasses when operating the machine, even with the protective enclosure, to ensure maximum eye safety.
• Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation during operation. The B3 enclosure includes a powerful 75,000 RPM exhaust fan to remove smoke and fumes.
