8.3.2 Mirror 1 Alignment
•
Wear safety goggles during the entire aligning process.
•
Avoid attaching the tape directly to any of the mirrors.
•
Less than 15% of the maximum power (not Min.) should be sufficient to leave a
clear mark without setting the testing tape on fire.
•
Always make sure the path is clear between the laser and its target. Never
allow foreign objects between the laser and its target. Always close the cover
before firing the laser. Do not look directly at the active laser through the
cover during this procedure.
Once emitted from the laser tube, the laser beam hits Mirror 1, which reflects it to Mirror 2. That is to
say, when the laser tube is properly aligned with Mirror 1, to align Mirror 1 is actually to align it with
Mirror 2.
