AtomStack Hurricane Laser Equipment Safety Guide

To ensure your safety and the proper operation of the equipment, please strictly follow these safety guidelines.

1. Preparation Before Operation

  • Inspect the Equipment: Before each use, check the equipment for any damage to ensure all components are intact.
  • Clean Workspace: Make sure the workspace is clean, flat, and free of clutter, especially flammable materials.
  • Read the Manual: Always read the user manual before operating the equipment to become familiar with its functions and safety precautions.

2. Safety Measures During Operation

  • Supervise the Equipment: Always supervise the equipment during operation. Never leave it unattended.
  • Close the Lid: Ensure the lid is closed. If the lid is opened, the laser will automatically stop to prevent accidental injury.
  • Material Restrictions: Do not use materials containing PVC, vinyl, or other chlorine-based substances, as they release harmful gases that are hazardous to health and the equipment.
  • Avoid Reflective Objects: Do not point the laser at mirrors or other reflective surfaces to prevent reflected laser radiation from causing harm.

3. Laser Safety

  • Avoid Radiation Exposure: The CO2 laser is an invisible laser. Avoid exposing your eyes or skin to laser radiation, and never look directly into the laser beam.
  • Class 1 Laser Safety Certification: This device is certified as a Class 1 laser, which is considered safe for human exposure under normal usage conditions. It includes safety features like automatic shut-off when the lid is opened, flame detection, active fire suppression, and a fully enclosed design to ensure safe operation.

4. Electrical Safety

  • Proper Power Connection: Plug the equipment into a properly grounded outlet to avoid electric shock risk.
  • Inspect Cables: The laser tube has a silicone rubber casing that effectively shields the internal power lines. Ensure power cables are undamaged. If the cover is loose or power lines are exposed, stop operation and contact customer support.
  • Do Not Touch Internal Components: Do not touch any internal electronic components while the equipment is powered on.

5. Fire Prevention

  • Avoid Flammable Materials: Do not place any flammable materials near the equipment.
  • Regular Cleaning: Residue generated during cutting and engraving can be a fire hazard. Clean the tray and internal residues regularly.
  • Fire Extinguishing Equipment: Ensure there is an effective fire extinguisher in the work area as a precaution.

6. Environmental Requirements

  • Temperature Control: Operate the equipment within a temperature range of 5°C to 35°C. Extremely low or high temperatures may affect equipment performance.
  • Good Ventilation: Use the equipment in a well-ventilated environment, and it is recommended to use an exhaust system to remove smoke generated during processing.

By following these concise safety guidelines, you can ensure the safe and efficient operation of the laser equipment.
