This tool uses a LASER and air pressure to cut thin sheets of metal
Use for:
- Steel (CRS): 0.15" (3.8mm) 9ga.
- Stainless steel: 0.125" 2.3mm 11ga.
- Aluminum: 0.083" (2.11mm) 12ga.
- Copper: 0.048" (1.22mm) 18ga.
Do Not Use for:
- Any sheet metal exceeding the maximum thickness for the type of metal.
- ANY NON METAL MATERIALS.
Hazard Analysis
- Materials can catch on fire while being cut.
- Coated metals will produce toxic gasses while being cut.
- Cuts/scrapes from sharp cut edges of work.
- Parts wil be hot after cutting. Burning hands may result when removing parts.
Operation Notes
- This machine requires fume extraction. Make sure both AC line cords are plugged in.
- This machine requires shop air. Instructions for starting and stopping the Antwerp Shop Air
