| − | ===Fire===
| + | |
| − | When using the laser, whether for engraving or cutting, stay and watch your job.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Know where the fire extinguisher is and be ready to use it.

| − | | + | |
| − | If your job catches on fire:
| + | |
| − | *You are more important than the laser--do not put yourself in unnecessary danger to save the laser. (Cf. Bloominglabs rules)
| + | |
| − | *Use your judgment--flare-ups will happen, and most go out quickly (a second or so) on their own.
| + | |
| − | *Any flame lasting longer than a second or two is a fire--put it out.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Eye safety===
| + | |
| − | Do not look directly into either the cutting laser or even the visible targeting laser.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Make sure the lid is down before you even try starting your job. There is an integrated safety lock-out, but don't rely on this.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The lid should absorb most laser radiation, but if you're cutting reflective material, it wouldn't hurt to use the tinted safety glasses (should be located near the laser).
