Fire Warning

Your laser system uses a high intensity beam of light that can generate extremely high temperatures when

it comes into contact with the material being engraved, marked or cut. Some materials are extremely

ﬂammable and can easily ignite and burst into open ﬂame setting the machine aﬁre. This open ﬂame is very dangerous

and has the potential to destroy not only the machine, but the building in which it is housed.

Experience shows that vector cutting with the laser has the most potential to create an open ﬂame. Many materials are

susceptible to igniting, but acrylic, in all its different forms, has been shown to be especially ﬂammable when vector

cutting with the laser.

Please read the following warnings and recommendations and follow them closely at all times!

• Stay with the laser. Never operate the laser system while unattended.

• Keep the area clear. Clean around the machine and keep the area free of clutter, combustible materials, explosives,

or volatile solvents such as acetone, alcohol, or gasoline.

• Be prepared with a ﬁre extinguisher. Always keep a properly maintained and inspected ﬁre extinguisher on hand.

Epilog recommends a Halotron ﬁre extinguisher or a multi-purpose dry chemical ﬁre extinguisher. The Halotron

extinguishers are more expensive than a dry chemical, but offer certain advantages should you ever need to use an

extinguisher. The Halotron extinguisher discharges a clean, easily removable substance that is not harmful to the

mechanics or wiring of the laser system. The dry chemical extinguisher discharges a sticky, corrosive powder that is

very difﬁcult to clean up.

• Use Air Assist. Always use the system’s Air Assist feature when vector cutting.

• Use caution when vector cutting. Many materials have the potential to suddenly burst into ﬂames when cut with a

laser – even materials that may be very familiar to the user. Always monitor the machine when it is operating.

• Clean the laser. A buildup of cutting and engraving residue and debris is dangerous and can create a ﬁre hazard in

its own right. Keep your laser system clean and free of debris. Regularly remove the Vector Cutting Table to clean

any small pieces that have fallen through the grid.

How to Use This Owner’s Manual

Thank you for purchasing an Epilog Fusion Laser system. Your Epilog system has been designed to be easy to operate,

but you will utilize it to its fullest potential by taking some time to read this owner’s manual prior to use. You will be ready

to use the Epilog Laser system as soon as you read the ﬁrst few sections. Then you can refer to topics in the remaining

sections, as you work.

Icons Used in this Manual

Laser Safety

The Epilog Model 13000/14000 Laser System is a Class 2 laser product, as deﬁned in International Standard IEC 60825-1.

The Epilog Model 13000/14000 complies with 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11, the Federal Performance Standards for Light-

Emitting Products, except for deviations pursuant to Laser Notice No. 50, dated July 16, 2001. The Center for Devices and

Radiological Health, of the US FDA, issued Laser Notice No. 50 to permit manufacturers to classify and manufacture their

products in accordance with the International Standard.

The output of the embedded laser is fully contained. The laser cabinet has safety interlocks that turn the laser off if any

access door is opened during operation, and no special precautions are necessary to operate the laser safely. Access

doors are interlocked and can be opened without the use of a tool. Any interlocked door that is opened while the machine

is operating will immediately stop the laser from ﬁring.

Access panels are not interlocked and require a tool for opening or removal. Access panels should always be installed

when the laser is operating. Never operate the laser system with an access panel removed.

The visible output beam of the Laser Diode Pointer (Red Dot Pointer) is accessible to the operator. While this device

employs the same technology as the familiar laser pen-pointers, like them it is potentially hazardous if its beam is directed

into the eye.

We have made every effort to make the Laser Diode Pointer (Red Dot Pointer) as safe as possible. Its beam path is located

well inside the cabinet, and under normal conditions, no hazardous levels of laser radiation can escape.

The operator of the Epilog Model 13000/14000 should observe the following general precautions:

• DO NOT disassemble the machine or remove any of its protective covers while the unit is plugged in.

• DO NOT attempt to defeat the door interlocks.

• DO NOT view directly into the beam of the Laser Diode Pointer (Red Dot Pointer).

• DO NOT operate the Laser Diode Pointer (Red Dot Pointer) without the machine’s focus lens in place. If the

unfocused beam strikes a reﬂective surface, it could be directed out of the cabinet.

• Caution – Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those speciﬁed herein may

result in hazardous radiation exposure.

SECTION 1: SAFETY

SECTION 1: SAFETY

Electrical Safety

The standard reference for laser safety is the American Standard for the Safe Use of Lasers, Z136.1-2000, developed

by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). This reference is the basis for many of the federal regulations for

laser and laser system manufacturers, and for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) laser safety

guidelines. It contains detailed information concerning proper installation and use of laser systems.

While the ANSI standard itself does not have the force of law, its recommendations, including warning signage, training,

and the designation of a laser safety ofﬁcer, may be compulsory under local workplace regulations when operating laser

systems above Class I. It is the operator’s responsibility to ensure that the installation and operation of the Epilog Model

13000/14000 Laser System is performed in accordance with all applicable laws.

Copies of ANSI Standard Z136.1-2000 are available from Epilog Corporation or from:

Laser Institute of America

12424 Research Parkway, Suite 125

Orlando, FL 32826

(407) 380-1553

Electrical Safety

The AC input power to the Epilog Model 13000/14000 Laser System is potentially lethal and is fully contained within the

cabinet.

• DO NOT open any of the machine’s access panels while the unit is plugged in. Opening a panel

may expose the operator to the unit’s AC input power.

• DO NOT make or break any electrical connections to the system while the unit is turned on.
