3.2 LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS
Before you install the Mako Laser, it is important to select an appropriate location. To determine the
best location, please follow the guidelines listed below:
• Avoid locations where the machine may be exposed to high temperatures, dust, and high humidity.
The humidity must not exceed 70% and the temperature must not be close to the dew point. Select
a location where the room temperature is between 15 °C and 25 °C (59° – 77° F).
• Avoid locations where the machine may be exposed to mechanical shocks.
• Select a location with good air circulation and, if available, close to ventilation. Avoid locations with
poor air circulation.
• Avoid higher ambient temperatures and a strong exposure of the machine to the sun. Use window
coverings, if required.
• Select a location close to ventilation (if available).
• Select a location that is less than 2.5 meters away from your computer (max. cable length to avoid
disturbing interferences).
• Select a table or surface that is able to the handle the weight of the laser.
• Choose a location where you are able to have access to all sides of the laser.
3.3 ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Make sure that your electrical outlet is capable of providing the proper voltage, frequency and amperage
that the laser system requires. It is highly recommended that you use a surge suppression plug to
protect your computer equipment. Machines made for Canada are all 110V 60Hz.
The AMP will depend on the machine model and laser tube power.

DAMAGES FROM AN INADEQUATE OR INAPPROPRIATE POWER SOURCE ARE NOT COVERED UNDER
WARRANTY. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO PROVIDE A SUITABLE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY.
3.4 EXHAUST REQUIREMENTS
Please refer to the specific exhaust requirements found in the operation manual included with your air
filtration unit. If you are not using a separate air filtration unit it is suggested that the Mako Laser be
filtered using flexible aluminum duct piping into an existing exhaust ventilation unit. You can connect to
your buildings HVAC system using the flexible aluminum duct piping included in the crate of your laser
cutting machine.
