2. Turvallisuustiedot
The LASER TREE K1 Mini 5W is a Class 4 laser product. Improper use can result in serious injury, including eye damage, skin burns, and fire. Always adhere to the following safety guidelines:
- Silmien suojaus: Always wear the provided laser safety goggles when the laser is operating. Never look directly at the laser beam or its reflection.
- Ilmanvaihto: Käytä kaivertinta hyvin ilmastoidussa tilassa, jotta kaiverruksen tai leikkauksen aikana syntyvät höyryt ja savu pääsevät haihtumaan.
- Tulipalon vaara: Keep a fire extinguisher nearby. Do not leave the machine unattended during operation. Certain materials are highly flammable.
- Materiaalien yhteensopivuus: Only engrave or cut approved materials. Avoid reflective, transparent, or blue/purple/white materials, and non-anodized bare aluminum, as these can cause unpredictable laser behavior or damage.
- Lapset ja lemmikit: Pidä lapset ja lemmikkieläimet poissa käyttöalueelta.
- Hätäpysähdys: Familiarize yourself with the location of the power switch for immediate shutdown in an emergency.
