The following operating principles should be observed.

1. Always check the TOOCA L1 laser engraver for damage before each use. Do not operate a damaged or defective machine in any way.

2. Do not disassemble or in any other way alter the construction of the TOOCA L1 laser engraver or modify or decompile the operating system of the TOOCA L1 laser engraver.

3. Do not leave the TOOCA L1 laser engraver unattended during operation.

4. Residues and chips accumulated during cutting and engraving are dangerous and can cause fires, so clean the honeycomb panels regularly of chips and residues.

5. The laser should be operated within an ambient temperature range of 5°C to 25°C and should not be operated at sub-zero temperatures. 6.

6. Do not engrave or cut any material containing PVC or vinyl (plastic is not recommended). These materials (and other chlorine/chlorine-containing materials) produce corrosive vapours which are extremely harmful to humans and may cause damage to the machine.

7. Do not engrave or cut any unknown materials. Vaporisation/melting of many materials (including but not limited to PVC and polycarbonate) can release harmful fumes.

8. Keep the area around the TOOCA L1 laser engraver clean and free from clutter of flammable materials, explosives or volatile solvents such as acetone, alcohol or petrol. Carry a fire extinguisher with you. Maintain and check the fire extinguisher regularly.

9. Do not open any access panels on the TOOCA L1 laser engraver when it is connected to the power supply, as this may cause unnecessary danger by accidental contact with the power supply.

Do not touch the areas associated with the electronics with your hands or other tools when the TOOCA L1 laser engraver is connected to the power supply.

Step 6

Then assemble the drawers and shoes below, the drawer assembly may be loose, you can borrow glue to glue the drawers and shoes directly, and then by the way, the hands will also be directly installed, as shown in the picture.
