The Laser Cutter is expensive and dangerous. Try not to leave it unattended. Things can start on fire.
Some jobs take a long time to run. If you need to run to the bathroom or something, find someone to watch it for you.

Tips and Advice
-
We'll eventually collect all the forms people have filled out when using the machine and document them here
Be sure to focus the beam using the 2“ tall wood block stored just inside the lid of the machine
The black knob to the right inside the lid raises and lowers the table
Try not to bump the machine while it is running, the magnetic safeties are sensitive and will kill the laser if it thinks the lid is open
