Read and get familiar with all safety precautions and procedures before using the machine. Strictly follow all safety precautions. Ensure that the machine is properly assembled and is working properly.

Intended use: This product is used for laser cutting and laser engraving of specific materials, and different models are suitable for different user groups. The laser can process the following material: wood, acrylic, rubber, coating metal and so on. Use of the product beyond its intended use or not in accordance with this Safety Instructions is considered product misuse, and the Company is not responsible for any loss caused by such misuse.

1. Laser safety

Lasers are categorized into several different classes depending on the extent of the potential hazard associated with the laser, with Class 1 being the least dangerous and Class 4 the most dangerous. The United States Food and Drug Administration has indicated that Class 4 lasers may pose an "immediate skin hazard and eye hazard from exposure to either the direct or reflected beam; may also present a fire hazard."

The product is classified as a Class 1 laser machine. It includes a Class 4 working laser and a Class 1 indicator laser. Generally, the laser module is completely enclosed in the casing and light shield during operation to prevent human access to laser radiation beyond Class 1. The machine is equipped with safety interlock switches on the lid and baseplate. If the lid is lifted or the baseplate is removed during operation, the product will stop working.

Follow the safety precautions:

• Do not operate the product when any part of it is removed. Removing any part may expose the laser system and cause damage to the product.
• Laser operation is prohibited when the lid is lifted. Make sure that the lid is closed during operation and do not tamper with the safety mechanism of the lid.
• Do not place magnets around the safety interlock switches, or the safety interlocks may fail.
• You are advised to use xTool materials for engraving or cutting. You can visit easyset.xtool.com and choose your device to find xTool materials applicable to it. If the material you use is not an xTool material, or if you are not sure whether the material is applicable to your device, please contact our customer service at support@info.xtool.com for help to ensure safe operation and processing results.
• Do not look at the laser directly through the light shield for a long time.

The reference standards for laser safety are the American National Standard for Safe Use of Lasers (Z136.1-2022), International Electrotechnical Commission Standard (IEC 60825-1:2014), and European Standards (EN 60825-1:2014/A11:2021).

2. Chemical safety

A high-density laser beam is used by the product to irradiate the material to be cut or engraved, so as to heat up the material surface and vaporize the material without burning. But some materials may release toxic and harmful smoke or gases at a high temperature. Therefore, precautions are required for chemical safety during material processing.

Follow the safety precautions:

• Be careful when you process any material that contains PVC or vinyl (Do not process plastics without safety protection). These materials (and other materials containing chlorine/chloride) can generate corrosive vapor when being processed by laser, which may damage the product. Besides, this kind of vapor is extremely harmful to human health. Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated and all personnel in the workplace have worn proper personal protective equipment.
• Do not engrave or cut any unknown materials. Vaporization or melting of many materials, which include but are not limited to PVC and polycarbonate, may release harmful smoke.
• You are advised to use the product with xTool Purifier. If you use a purifier, check and maintain the filters regularly to ensure proper operation of the purifier.

3. Fire safety

Read the following warnings and suggestions carefully:

• Familiarize yourself with fire safety knowledge.
• Equip your workspace with fire extinguishing equipment, including CO2 extinguishers and sprinklers, and perform regular inspection and maintenance on them. Keep the CO2 extinguishers on hand, and all personnel should be trained in the usage of the extinguishers.
• Ensure that the area around the product is clean and neat and that the workspace is well-ventilated so that the generated smoke can be discharged in time.
• Do not place any flammable materials, explosives, or volatile solvents, such as paper, acetone, alcohol, or gasoline, around the product. They may cause the spread of flames and increase the risk of material ignition.
• Do not leave the product unattended when it is working. If the product works with setting errors and is left unattended for a long period of time, or if a mechanical or electrical fault occurs, a fire may be caused.
• When the laser machine cuts or engraves flammable materials at low speed and high power, the materials may ignite, forming an open flame. If an open flame occurs, please press the emergency stop button immediately to stop processing in time, keep a safe distance, and use a fire extinguisher to put it out.
• After completion of each processing and before you leave, immediately open the lid, remove the processed material, clean residues, and carefully inspect the working area of the machine to ensure no flames remain. Excessive accumulation of residues and chippings from cutting and engraving would increase the risk of fire.
• Place and use the product in locations where children are not likely to be present.
• Use the product with the compatible 0.6 L CO2 gas cylinder as an additional measure to reduce fire risk. When installing the CO2 gas bottle, strictly follow the installation guide in the quick start guide.

4. Electrical safety

Follow the safety precautions:

• Do not open any access panel on the product when the product is connected to the power supply. Accidental contact with the power supply may cause injury.
• Do not touch any electronic area with your hands or other tools when the product is connected to a power supply.

5. Use and maintenance

Follow the operating principles:

• Check the product for damage every time before you use it. Do not operate it in any way when any damage or defect is found.
• Place and use the product on a stable, flat, and non-flammable surface. Keep the workspace clean and neat.
• Process a material only when the baseplate is installed properly.
• Do not disassemble the product or change its structure in any way without authorization. Do not modify or decompile its operating system.
• Do not leave the product unattended during operation. When the product is working, pay attention to whether it is working properly and the information indicated by the indicator and state display screen.
• Keep the inside of the product clean. Residues and chippings accumulated during cutting and engraving are dangerous and may cause a fire. Clean the chippings and residues inside the work area immediately after each operation.
• The product works properly at the temperature of 5°C to 30°C and can be stored properly at the temperature of 10°C to 45°C. The product works properly at the relative humidity of 30% to 60% and can be stored properly at the relative humidity of 20% to 90%. Do not operate it at a temperature lower than 0°C.
• Cut off the power before maintaining the product.
• This product is not user-serviceable. It must be returned to the factory or repaired by authorized professionals.
