1. Laser radiation
Laser exposure can lead to severe retinal or corneal damage, resulting in
permanent eye damage and potential skin damage. Adhere to safety protocols to
avoid accidental exposure to invisible direct or reflected beams. Operate the system
8 - Important Safety Information
within the designated laser control area only.
2. Eye damage
All personnel within the laser control area should wear personal protective
equipment, including safety glasses and helmet shields, to protect against reflected
or scattered laser beams, welding glare, ultraviolet light, heat, and sparks.
3. Skin hazards
Exposure to infrared and ultraviolet radiation can cause serious skin damage. It is
recommended that operators and personnel within the laser control area wear
protective clothing, including laser-protective garments, heat-resistant gloves, hats,
leather aprons, and other laser- and heat-resistant attire. Keep sleeves and collars
buttoned. Sparks from welding may also cause burns, and laser beams penetrating
metal parts can reach surfaces or individuals. Never place machined parts in a
position where the laser penetrates the workpiece, as this may be hazardous.
4. Reflected beam hazards
Highly reflective metals, such as aluminum and copper, can cause laser energy to
be reflected from the target welding site to the laser source or surrounding area,
posing a risk to anyone in the laser-controlled area. All individuals within this area
must wear personal protective equipment, including safety goggles and welding
helmets with face shields. Operators should never attempt to observe the welding
process from the opposite side. Professional training in laser welding operations is
provided by Hgri Laser; always wear recommended protective equipment when
operating laser devices.
