1 Safety Precautions
Before working with your LaVision system we recommend to read the
following safety precautions. Observing these instructions helps to avoid
danger, to reduce repair costs and downtimes and to increase the reliability
and life of your LaVision system.
1.1 Laser Safety
If a laser

is integrated in your system it is important that every person
working with it has fully read and understood these safety precautions and
the laser manual of the specific laser.
Lasers included in LaVision systems may belong to CL ASS 4 laser de-
vices, which are capable of emitting levels of both visible and invisible ra-
diation that can cause damage to the eyes and skin. It is absolutely neces-
sary that protective eyewear with a sufficiently high optical density is worn
at any time when operating the laser. The goggles must protect against all
wavelengths that can be emitted, including harmonics. See your Laser´s
manual for further details.
Class 4 laser beams are by definition a safety and fire hazard. The use of
controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other than those spec-
ified in the LaVision manual and laser manual may result in hazardous
radiation exposure.
AVOID EYE AND SKIN EXPOSURE TO DIRECT OR SCATTERED RADIATION.
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS YOU CAN FIND IN THE CORRESPONDING LASER
MANUAL FOR PROPER INSTALLATION AND SAFE OPERATION. USE PROTEC-
TIVE EYE WEAR ALL THE TIME WHEN OPERATING THE LASER.
Important instructions for safe laser handling:
• Before operating the laser contact your laser safety officer.
