Introduction
Your safe and effective use of this product is of utmost importance to
us at New Focus. Please read the following laser safety information
before attempting to operate the laser.
Laser Safety
The laser radiation emitted from this unit may be harmful. Always
follow these precautions:
• Avoid direct exposure to the beam.
• Avoid looking at the beam directly.
• Be aware of and follow the warnings on the safety labels (examples
are shown on page 6).
• To completely shut off power to the unit, turn off the keyswitch.
The
Power
button on the front of the controller controls power to
the laser diode; even when the power to the diode is off, power is
still being supplied to the laser head for temperature control.
• Do not open the laser head or controller.
Diode-laser power at the wavelengths shown in the following table could be
accessible inside the laser head. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the
laser head or controller. Unauthorized opening of the head or controller will
void the warranty and may result in misalignment of the laser cavity and/or
irreparable damage to the internal components.
