Laser Safety

  1. Always have your safety goggle on when the laser is on!
  2. When the yellow beacon is flashing, have goggle on when you enter the hut.
  3. Alignment should be done at low power.
  4. Be sure that the beam is hitting the target.
  5. Do not turn the beam up to full power unless the oven temperature is at least 150 degrees Celsius.
  6. Do not look directly into the beam even with safety goggle on.
  7. Do not stand in the way of a beam that is at full power.
  8. Understand where the beam is and where the reflections are.
