	Fire Safety
	Flame right where the laser is cutting is ok. Flame anywhere else is a problem. Hit Pause. Move the laser head away from the flame. Open the machine. Spray the flame with water. If needed, use the fire blanket. If needed, use the fire extinguisher. The large one by the lasers is electronics safe. Use the whole thing at once; don’t be shy! The second fire extinguisher is by the door, and is also safe for electronics. Report any and all fires to staff and digifabshop@artisansasylum.com.

Do not leave the laser unattended while running.
