Safety
- Hazards: fumes, fire, noise, lacerations.
- Wear hearing protection when the exhaust fan is on, as it's loud enough to cause hearing damage.
- Check the debris tray before and after. Debris buildup can cause a fire as the laser cuts through the workpiece and enters the debris tray.
- Do not cut unknown or unapproved materials. If the material is not on the approved list, ask for permission on Slack.
- Heat can build up when doing multiple passes on wood, causing the material to ignite. If you're cutting thick wood and it doesn't go through in three passes, stop.
- Always use a vector grid when cutting all the way through.
- Don't wear loose hair, clothing, jewellery, etc. as they can become entangled in the belts.
