CAUTION – LASER SAFETY
The laser used in the Renishaw NC4 non-contact tool setting system emits visible red light at a wavelength
of 670 nm and has a power output of less than 1 mW.
The NC4 is classied as a Class 2 laser product as dened by BS EN 60825-1:2014.
Complies with 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 except for conformance with IEC 60825-1 Ed. 3., as
