What is this? This is a laser engraving machine made by Wainlux. It uses a strong laser that can hurt your eyes.

What's happening? The machine’s safety parts can be turned off too easily. It also lacks a base plate. This means the laser light can shine out where people can see it.

What should I do? Stop using the machine and ask your pharmacist or doctor if you have concerns.
