__TOC__

==Safety==
This engraver uses a finely adjusted mirror to direct a laser of 50W over the target surface. 5mW (5 e-3 W) is considered safe for unprotected vision, this laser (50W = 5e2 W) is 10,000 times more powerful. '''Do not use laser without ensuring that no one might be blinded by an unexpected reflection, ''and that no one might wander into danger without knowing at any time while the laser is on'''''. Ensure that the area is safe, and will remain safe, while the laser is in use. We '''don't get second chances with burned out retinas''', you will be '''liable''' for harm you cause to others, ''especially if caused by your negligence.''

Components of safety for users, bystanders, & organization:
* Training
* Interlocks
* Enclosure + Safe Environment (+ signs)
* Fume extractor
(compliance with rules, demos/sharing/showing)

===Enclosure===
[[:Category:WIP]] aspect of the project.

Need to determine:
* Safe shielding materials. (Something we can get at TAP? Order online?)
* How to mount them.

==Operation==

===Fixes===
[[:Category:WIP]] aspect of the project.
* Possibly needs a replacement power supply.
* Needs simple repair rewiring of interlock switch.

===Software===
ToDo document.
