Safety Alert: Creality Falcon 2 Laser Cutter Protective Enclosure Defect

What Safety Gate found

The Creality Falcon 2 desktop laser cutting and engraving machine lacks an adequate protective enclosure. During operation, the laser head's cover leaves a gap, which can allow reflected laser radiation to escape into the working environment. Authorities noted that this does not comply with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, EN ISO 11553, or EN 60825-1.

Why this matters

Class 4 lasers are high-power devices capable of causing permanent eye and skin damage even from reflections. Protective enclosures are a critical engineering control required by law to ensure that hazardous radiation is contained, preventing accidental exposure for the operator or bystanders.

What buyers should check

• Ensure your laser machine is fully enclosed to prevent beam or reflection escape.
• Verify the machine has proper safety interlocks on all access panels.
• Always use certified laser safety eyewear that matches the wavelength and power of your laser, even if the machine is partially enclosed.
• Confirm the manufacturer provides a valid EU Declaration of Conformity.
