Laser Cutter Training
This is the prototype for a series of training sheets for our expensive or dangerous tools.
Safety Risks:
- High-power laser can cause burns or severe eye damage
- Mains 240v inside control panel and high voltages (2kV) in control panel and around laser tube
- Materials can catch fire
- Toxic fumes may be produced depending on materials
Objectives for basic use:
- awareness of laser and voltage risks, and which parts of the cutter should remain off-limits
- powering-up and checking that the cooling and extraction are working
- know which materials may be cut safely (fire/fume risks) and without damaging the cutter with Chlorine (PVC)
- the importance of monitoring the cutter while it is active (fire risks)
- checking the coolant temperature
- vertical alignment
Objectives for basic maintenance:
- cleaning mirrors and lens
- removing dirt and debris
- checking alignment of laser
- minor corrections of alignment (mirrors 2 and 3 only)
- checking alignment of visible laser
Objectives for advanced maintenance:
- removal of bed for extended cleaning
- full alignment
- replacement of laser tube
