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 inside of the machine clean. Residues and chippings accumulated during cutting and engraving are dangerous and may cause a fire. Remove the chippings and residues regularly.

The machine works properly at the temperature of 0°C to 35°C and can be stored properly at the temperature of 0°C to 45°C. Do not operate it at a temperature lower than 0°c.

Generally, the laser is completely enclosed in a casing during operation. The machine provides a safety interlock If the lid is lifted during operation, it stops working to prevent harm to people. No special precautions are needed to ensure laser safety.

Follow the safety precautions:

Do not operate the machine when any part of it is removed. Removing any part may expose the laser system and 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.

Do not leave the machine unattended when it is working. Pay attention to whether it is working properly.

Do not operate the machine when the id is open. Close the lid before you operate the machine. Do not tampe27 with the safety mechanism of the lid.

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 the 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 and sufficient space is reserved around the smoke outlet, 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.

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.

Read the following warnings and suggestions carefully:

On xTool M1, the warning and instruction signs are labeled where physical injuries or damage to the machine may be caused before and/or during operation. If a sign is damaged or lost, replace it immediately. You can use the following template to print the sign you need.
