Danger from optical radiation
Class 4 laser light is very dangerous for the eyes and dangerous
for the skin. Even diffusely scattered radiation can be dangerous.
The laser beam can cause fire and explosion hazards. The closed
slats in front of the work chamber downgrade the laser radiation to
Class 1.
● Avoid exposing the eyes or skin to direct or scattered radiation.
● Before starting up the welding laser system, check that all
safety devices are installed and function correctly.
● Never operate the laser with open or damaged slats in front of
the work chamber.
