Hi All
I was asked recently by a client to cut a small amount of PVC backed reflective perspex. After reading up, I agreed to do it because it was a small Job and I thought it would not cause any problems. It ended up being about an hours worth of cutting.
After cutting I have decided I will definitely not be doing that again. After cutting I had a headache and felt nauseous. I have not had a chance to vent the room properly, so even going back in a day later I can the symptoms again. I will try vent it well this weekend.
Also while cutting I noticed that the power required to perform the cuts kept increasing. When I went to clean the focal lens this morning there was a white deposit all over the lens, and after cleaning it the lens now has a rough texture on the surface, so I think I have have to replace it.
My question is, what do I need to do to ensure there is no further damage to the machine. I am very worried that I have damaged my machine, I may be stressing for nothing, but I would really like some guidance. I cannot afford major repair work on the machine or even worse have to replace the whole thing.
Thanks in advance
Brent
