Laser Safety
Only a person with specialized training and appropriate laser safety knowledge can
use and maintain the laser head. The laser head operator must be aware of laser
radiation hazard.
While the laser head is operating protection Laser Glasses designed for 190 – 540
nm (OD 7+) should be used. Make sure that all personnel in the same room wear
protection glasses.
Eye exposure to the direct or diffusely reflected laser beam is a hazard. The laser
head beam may cause permanent eye damage.
Skin exposure to the laser beam is a hazard. The laser beam may cause serious skin
burns. A laser beam may easily burn cloth.
It is possible to get a serious injury while using this product or being in the vicinity
of an individual using it. Improper use of the laser head can result in injury or death.
Flammable substances exposure to the laser beam may pose a fire hazard. The laser
head operation in an explosive atmosphere may be dangerous. The working area
must be well-ventilated. During the operation laser beam may ignite gases or
flammable liquids.
Before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or performing maintenance,
the laser should be powered off and disconnected from the power supply and CNC
main board.
The laser head must be properly mounted to a rigid body such that it cannot be
moved unintentionally. An unintentional move of the laser head is dangerous.
The unauthorized personnel must have no access to the system into which the laser
head is integrated. The laser head must be stored out of the reach of children.
Untrained persons are not allowed to operate, maintain and observe the operation of
the laser head.
Specular reflection materials should not be placed in front of the operating laser
head. Remember, a diffused reflection of the laser beam is uncontrolled and may
pose a hazard to an eye.
Appropriate shielding should be used around the system into which the laser head
is integrated. The system in which the laser head is used must be equipped with a
key switch and safety interlock.
