Co2 laser cutter eye safety

[Harvid22]

Hi my first post :-)
We have just bought a Chinese Co2 laser cutter with 2 lasers 1 on 80 wat and the others is on 150 wat.
Do you think the windows in the machine is thick enough to protect your eyes when they let is closed ?
It's very difficult not to look at the lasers cutting point Sometime, would it be dangerous for your eyes ?
How sharp is the light, sharp enough to get welding eyes ?


Thanks in advanced regards Isak

Sorry if we are ask some stupid questions but we are very new to laser cutting, and we a little bit afraid of all the laser power... Hope you can help some newbies.
We have read a lot of posts... And it almost sounds like if laiser don't burn hole in the case of the machine, or some cheap safety glasses there will be no danger, Is it really how it is ?

Most lasers the cover lids are protection enough as the wave length put off from the laser can't pass thru the cover. But its not advised to look at the beam when cutting as its very bright and can still cause eye damage if you stare at it for a long time.
