Very scary problem.

[exengrav]

Just finished an engrave on the School 6840. Opening the door to remove the work turns the laser full on and shutting it turns it off again ! This could be repeated several times. Glad that I noticed a hole being burned right through the wood before my hand went in. Glad that it was me not a student. How is this possible with a safety switch on the door ? That means that the machine is out of action for now then. Anybody got a clue before I speak to HPC ?
Cheers, CR

Nope.

HPC is the first and only point of call for a problem like this. The door switch and laser fire control circuit are totally separate, that's not something anybody other than HPC can advise about.

Especially in a school.

isolate and lock it off before you do anything else.

Hi Sorry to hear this. As pointed out the first thing you should do is CALL US on 01422310800 and then confirm with an e-mail.
We as a matter of course test the safety switches as part of our service annually.
as we are now aware of this issue it will be sorted today.
Thanks Chris
