Electric Shock Prevention
• Never touch the laser head, while in operation.
• Install and ground this equipment according to the instruction manual and in accordance with national or
local codes.
• Inspect the input power cord frequently for damage or cracking of the cover. Replace a damaged power cord
immediately. Bare wiring can kill.
• Before checking, cleaning or changing parts, disconnect the main power or unplug the power supply.
• When making input connections, attach proper grounding conductor first.
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL
Cutting can produce toxic fumes and gases that deplete
oxygen and cause injury or death.
• Keep the cutting area well ventilated or use an
approved air-supplied respirator.
• Do not cut in locations near degreasing, cleaning or
spraying operations. The vapors from certain
chlorinated solvents decompose to form phosgene
gas when exposed to ultraviolet radiation.
• Do not cut metal coated or containing toxic materials,
such as zinc (galvanized), lead, cadmium or beryllium,
unless the area is well ventilated and the operator

inside – they must be emptied and properly
cleaned first.
• This product, when used for welding or cutting,
produces fumes or gases which contain chemicals
known to the State of California to cause birth defects
