Important
Note:
This section of the Operation Manual explains how to conduct regular main-
tenance and/or basic troubleshooting to 32-1 lasers. If you cannot attend to
the unit using the information described in this manual, contact SYNRAD®,
(+.425.349.3500) or an authorized SYNRAD Distributor.
Serious
personal
injury
This Class 4 laser product that emits invisible infrared laser radia-
tion in the 10.6 µm CO
2
wavelength band.
Because direct or diuse laser radiation can inict severe corneal
injuries, always wear eye protection when in the same area as an
exposed laser beam.
Do not allow the laser beam to contact a person.
This product emits an invisible laser beam that is capable of seri-
ously burning human tissue.
Always be aware of the beam’s path and always use a beam block
while testing.
Warning
The use of aerosol dusters containing diuoroethane causes “blooming”, a condition
that signicantly expands and scatters the laser beam. This beam expansion can aect
mode quality and/or cause laser energy to extend beyond the connes of optical ele-
ments in the system, possibly damaging acrylic safety shielding. Do not use air dusters
containing diuoroethane in any area adjacent to CO
2
laser systems because diuo-
roethane persists for long time periods over wide areas.
A risk of exposure to toxic elements, like zinc selenide, may result when certain
optical or beam delivery components are damaged. In the event of damage to laser,
marking head, or beam delivery optics, contact SYNRAD, or the optics manufacturer for
handling instructions.
