2. Safety Information

Always prioritize safety when operating laser equipment and accessories. The xTool SafetyPro AP2 is designed to mitigate risks associated with airborne particles and fumes, but proper usage is crucial.

• Ventilation: While the AP2 significantly reduces airborne contaminants, ensure adequate room ventilation, especially when processing materials that produce strong fumes.
• Filter Maintenance: Regularly check and replace filters as indicated by the device or software to maintain optimal purification performance. Clogged filters can reduce efficiency and potentially lead to hazardous air quality.
• Electrical Safety: Connect the purifier to a grounded power outlet. Do not operate with damaged power cords or plugs.
• Placement: Place the purifier on a stable, level surface, away from heat sources or flammable materials. Ensure proper airflow around the unit.
• Material Compatibility: The AP2 is designed for typical laser engraving and cutting materials. Consult xTool support for specific concerns regarding unusual materials.

4. Setup Guide

Follow these steps to set up your xTool SafetyPro AP2 for the first time.

1. Unboxing: Carefully remove the purifier and all accessories from the packaging.
2. Remove Protective Films: Peel off any protective films from the purifier's surfaces, especially the front panel.
