Harmful Dusts and Vapours
When radiating materials by means of a laser, harmful dusts and vapours
can be produced. The user is responsible for appropriate measures, e.g. an
exhaust system, to reduce such harmful dusts and vapours to a level that
complies with the allowed maximum concentration of pollutants at the work
place.
Lenses
Germanium and Zinc Selenide lenses are used in the D-Series laser system.
Lenses must not be touched.
If the lens has been soiled, it must be thoroughly cleaned (see “CLEANING
THE LENS” on page 5-3) before any operation.
The lens is not water resistant and must therefore only be cleaned with
Isopropyl Alcohol. Dry the lens using cotton swabs (Q-tips), ensuring the
surface of the lens is not scratched.
The lens has to be protected with a cover against splash water when
cleaning the system.
Scan Head Mirrors
Never touch the mirrors of the scan head.
The mirrors are inside the scan head and there is a small risk of touching
them when cleaning the lens.
The mirrors for the i-Tech 15 scan head are made of Beryllium.
When the mirrors have been touched accidentally wash hands thoroughly
with water and soap.
Fumes and dust from Beryllium metal can be hazardous if inhaled.
Carefully clean the mirrors if the have been accidentally touched.
