Warning Laser

All TRAXX laser system are a class 4 device. This is guaranteed by the protective housing and the safety installations.
Please note that improper operation of the device can override the status of safety class 4 and can cause the emission of harmful radiation.

This laser engraving system contains a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser of class 4 that emits intensive and invisible laser radiation. Without safety precautions the direct radiation or even diffuse reflected radiation is dangerous!

Without safety precautions, the following risks exist with exposure to laser radiation:
Eyes: Burns to the cornea
Skin: Burns
Clothing: Danger of fire

Never try to modify or disassemble the laser and do not try to start up a system that had been modified or disassembled!

Dangerous radiation exposure can result from the use of operation or adjustment equipment other than that described here, and if different operational methods are performed.

Service technicians are required to wear standard laser safety glasses for CO2 lasers (wavelength 10.6 μm).

Precautions when dealing with a class 4 (US: class IV) laser machine

  • In your TRAXX laser a closed safety system is integrated which immediately switches off the power to the laser tube when the protection cover is opened. In order interrupt an engraving process, please press the “PAUSE” button before opening the cover, otherwise an incomplete engraving can occur if the cover is opened during operation.
    Please remember the following safety precautions while working with the device:
  • A fire extinguisher must always be handy as the laser beam can ignite flammable materials.
  • Do not store flammable materials inside the device or in the immediate vicinity of the device.
  • Leftovers of produced materials must be removed to prevent fire hazard.
  • Wear personal protective equipment. Wearing personal protective equipment, dust mask, shoes with non-slip soles, hearing protection (depending on the type and treatment applied) reduces the risk of injury.
  • Please wear appropriate clothing. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. It is forbidden to operate the machine while wearing gloves. Hair, clothing and gloves should be kept away from moving parts.
  • Make sure that the dust & fumes collector is connected and properly used.
  • Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
  • Do not operate the machine by more than one person (operator) at the same time.
  • The machine cannot be left unattended while connected to the power grid.
  • Do not operate the machine with damaged electrical installation. Do not touch the damaged cable and turn off the power.
  • In the event of an accident at work as a machine operator, follow the instructions to act in case of an accident.
  • Prior to turning on the laser system verify that the chiller, compressor and gases suction device are connected and will be properly used.
  • The machine must be operated only by trained personnel who should not allow bystanders to the device
  • Unsupervised operation of the system is not permitted.
  • PVC (polyvinyl chloride) must not be processed under no circumstances with the laser.
  • Red stop button on the control panel does not cut the power to the device.
  • Main power switch and emergency stop button cuts off power to the device.

Before processing materials the user must verify, whether harmful materials can be generated and whether the filter equipment of the exhaust system is suitable for the harmful materials.
We emphasize that it is the responsibility of the user, to consider the national and regional threshold values for dust, fogs and gases when selecting the filters and the exhaust system. (The values for the maximum workplace concentration must not be exceeded.)
Please refer to the manual of the exhaust system on how and in what intervals you need to replace filters.
