Safety

Internal Note

This is from the existing site. I would still like to have a page with meaningful safety guidance.

Danger

Lasers use intense beams of light to create heat and fire as a normal part of their operation, and depending on the laser, the light might not be visible to you. Improper use of lasers can result in burns, eye damage including blindness, and fires. CO2 lasers use high voltages which can kill you if wired incorrectly.

Do not leave a running laser unattended.
