Chapter 1 Safety
1.1 Safety Regulation
The SLC-M series uses a CO2Laser as a light source. It is classified as a class-IIIR
product by CDRH (the Center for Devices and Radiological Health).
Wavelength : 9.3~10.6μm
Maximum output power : 30 ~ 100W
Visibility : Invisible
When operating the SLC-M series, be sure to always comply
with the safety regulations as following:
Do not attempt to modify or disassemble any component of the machine without
LTT technical support.
Do not open the doors of chassis and access the laser tube or electronic
components, especially while the machine power is on.
Connect the machine to a grounded outlet. Verify that the voltage of the outlet
is correct for the machine.
Do not disable the interlocks which are on top and front doors.
Be careful about the path of the invisible laser beam shown in figure. Otherwise,
eye or skin injury may result.
Chapter 1 Safety
5
Do not watch the laser beam directly during operation. Bright light caused by
the lasing process can damage the eye.
The side and rear doors are fixed by screws for safety. If you open these doors,
the SLC-M will become a Class 4 laser device. For your safe, please wear
protective goggles.
The laser beam may cause fire. Never leave machine along without other
operator watching during the laser cutting process. Keep a fire extinguisher near
the machine at any time.
Blowing materials with air flow from nozzle while cutting or engraving can avoid
fire occurring and also obtain good quality.
Verify that materials used in the cutting are proper for lasing. Never cut
substrates that contain PVC or Teflon.
Good efficiency of exhaust system makes you avoid breathing dust, debris or
poison gas.
Please comply with maintenance schedule as chapter 4 to keep SLC-M working
well.
Before you execute auto focusing function, please make sure that there will be
no crashing between motion system and other objects. For safety, it is NOT
recommended to use auto focusing function on inequality materials.

Interlock
The laser beam will not be emitted if you open the front door. The LED indicator of
“DOOR” on control panel will be off.
Front door close
Front door opens
Laser Switch
Laser switch on control panel can shut down the power of laser system immediately,
and it has no effect on motion system. Compared with interlock, Turning off laser
switch can save power. When you turn on laser switch, the LED indicator of “LASER”
on control panel will be on (it needs to take more than 5 seconds to warm up laser
tube while you turn it on).
