Warning: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 cm between the radiator and your body. Safety first (important) 1. General safety Read and get familiar with all safety precautions and procedures before using the machine. Strictly follow all safety precautions and ensure that the machine is properly assembled and is working properly. Follow the operating principles:
Check the machine for damage every time before you use it. Do not operate it in any way when any damage or defect is found. Ensure that the workspace is clean and flat. Note that the laser tube is made of glass and is very fragile. If it is broken, the machine fails to work. Do not disassemble the machine or change its structure in any way without authorization. Do not modify or decompile its operating system. Keep the operating area of the machine clean. Residues and chippings accumulated during cutting and engraving are dangerous and may cause fire. Clean the machine regularly. The machine works properly at the temperature of 0C to 35C and can be stored properly at the temperature of 0C to 45C. Do not operate it at a temperature lower than 0C. 2. Laser safety Laserbox D1 has no protective cover. Do not touch the laser when operating the machine. Follow the safety precautions:
Do not operate the machine when any part of it is removed. Removing any part may cause damage to the machine. Do not engrave or cut any material that contains PVC or vinyl (plastic materials are not recommended). These materials (and other materials containing chlorine/chloride) may generate corrosive vapor that is extremely harmful to the human body and may cause damage to the machine. Any damage caused by engraving or cutting any material containing PVC or vinyl is not covered by Makeblock's warranty. Do not engrave or cut any unknown materials. Vaporization/melting of many materials, which include but are not limited to PVC and polycarbonate, may release harmful smoke. 3. Fire safety When the machine cuts or engraves a material, a high-density laser beam is used to irradiate the material, heating up the surface of the material to vaporize it without burning. But most materials are inherently flammable and may be ignited to form an open flame that may burn down the machine (even if it is made of flame-retardant materials) and its surroundings. From our experience, using laser to perform vector cutting (on acrylic, in particular) is most likely to produce an open flame. Read the following warnings and suggestions carefully:
Ensure that the workspace is well ventilated, so that the smoke can be discharged properly. Do not stack materials (especially organic ones, such as paper) around the machine. They may cause the spread of flames and increase the risk of material ignition. Do not leave the machine unattended when it is working. If the machine works with incorrect settings and is left unattended for a long period of time, or if a mechanical or electrical fault occurs, a fire may be caused. Clean the machine regularly. Excessive accumulation of residues and chippings from cutting and engraving may increase the risk of fire. Ensure that the area around the machine is clean without any cluttered flammable materials, explosives, or volatile solvents, such as acetone, alcohol, or gasoline. Keep a fire extinguisher and perform regular maintenance and inspection of it. 4. Electrical safety Read the following warnings and suggestions carefully:
Do not open any access panels when the machine is connected to a power supply. Do not touch any electronic area with your hands or other tools when the machine is connected to a power supply. 5. Warning and instruction signs On Laserbox D1, the warning and instruction signs are labelled where physical injuries or damage to the machine may be caused before and/or during operation.
