1.5 WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS ON MACHINING
WARNING
1 Do not look at the machining point without eye protection.
Otherwise, your eyes may be exposed to reflected laser
light, resulting in blindness.
If your eyes are accidentally exposed to laser light, seek
medical advice immediately.
2 Before attempting to machine any material for the first time,
consult with the manufacturer of the material.
Some materials generate toxic gases when cut or drilled by
a laser beam.
Should you accidentally inhale any toxic gas, seek medical
advice immediately.
3 The workpiece becomes very hot during machining. Never
touch the workpiece with your bare hands. Otherwise, you
may be burnt.
4 During machining, extremely hot chips are likely to be
generated.
Unless sufficient caution is exercised, there is a danger of
the operator being burnt, or of a fire being started.
5 Some materials may burn or explode when laser machined.
Before attempting to machine any material for the first time,
consult with the manufacturer of the material, to prevent
the danger of fire of or the possibility of operator injury.
NOTE
1 Do not place any flammable material (such as paper, cloth,
or wood) near the workpiece table.
2 Keep a fire extinguisher beside the unit.
