How do I use the fume cabinet?

Before using the fume cabinet you should prepare your plastic pieces.

Laser cut the pieces you want to glue together. The laser leaves them with a clean edge which is ideal for gluing together.
Trim the plastic film from the areas that are being glued together. Do not remove the rest of the film. This protects the plastic from being marked or stained by the glue.
We have a special tape for securing the pieces together. It is green and transparent - ask a technician if you cannot find it. The tape should hold the pieces together while you are gluing. You only need to put a few pieces of tape to secure everything.

To use the Fume Cabinet:

Ensure you are wearing correct PPE. A technician can give you this.
Ensure the machine is on. The light within the booth will be on when the machine is on.
Ask a technician to give you the plastic glue. This is always stored in the flame cabinet when not in use.
Open the fume cabinet by lifting the door, the door hooks on to the lip at the top of the machine.
Place your object in the fume cabinet and close the door.
If the door is left open the unit will beep to warn user. Once the door has been closed the beeping will stop. If beeping does not stop do not use the machine, speak to a technician.
After glue has been applied to all joints you can remove the tape.
Add more glue any joins that still feel loose.
When you are finished inform a technician. They will remove the glue and put it back in the flame cabinet.
Dispose of your nitrile gloves in the black bins available.
Always leave the fume cabinet clean and tidy.
