* If there is someone waiting, get their phone number to text them, if possible. Texting allows you to give them a heads up so they can start setting up their job without you leaving the laser are.  (Leaving the laser running unattended is against the rules.) It also spares you from having to physically track down the other user.

== Table Saw Note! ==
 +
Items that have been cut on the laser cutter have the potential to set up the sawstop safety brake. This will make the saw unusable until the sawstop is replaced, which costs ~ $75!  It typically happens if there is an excess of carbon char on the edges.
 +
 +
Before use the sawstop to cut anything from the laser cutter please test  the piece on the edge of the blade and see if it activates a red light on the display. How do you do this.
 +
# Turn on the main power switch to the Sawstop.
 +
# DO NOT TURN ON THE BLADE.  THE BLADE must not be moving.
 +
# Check and see if the green light is on the front of the saw.
 +
# Slide the piece you want to cut up to and contact the blade.
 +
# Look at the lights on the front of the Sawstop. If it is green you should be OK to proceed. If its red. DO NOT CUT. IT WILL TRIGGER THE BRAKE.
 +
 +
You can try to sand off the char and repeat steps 1-5 or use another method to cut these pieces.
