 Objectives for basic use: Objectives for basic use:
  
-  * awareness of laser and voltage risksand which parts of the cutter should remain off-limits +  * Awareness that the laser can cause burns and blindnessthat the laser compartment must remain closed, and the lid-sensor must not be bypassed. 
-  * powering-up and checking that the cooling and extraction are working +  * Awareness that the laser cutter contains high voltages (2kV, 240V) and that users must keep clear of the wiring in the laser compartment and control panel. 
-  * know which materials may be cut safely (fire/fume risks) and without damaging the cutter with Chlorine (PVC) +  * Know how to power-up the cutter and checking that the extraction, water cooling and air assist are working. 
-  * the importance of monitoring the cutter while it is active (fire risks) +  * Know which materials may be cut safely, that some plastics may produce chlorine or cyanide gases, and that some materials may catch fire more easily than others. 
-  * checking the coolant temperature +  * Know that there is risk of fire with *any* material and that the cutter must not be left unattended, even for a minute. Know that there is a pause function and an emergency stop. 
-  * basic use of the software+  * Know that the cutter works best with coolant temperature between 10-20C, should not usually be used above 25C, and how to check the temperature. 
 +  * Basic use of the software.
