Now the ventilation timer is on and you will see a blue LED light up.

You should hear a noise start. This is a fan that will suck out the air from the laser cutter's enclosure.

Note

If the ventilation is already on, don not turn it off after using the laser.

Block the fume food

In the same room as the laser, there is a fume hood, that uses the same ventilation. This is how the fume hood looks:
