Storage/shipping

start guide for detailed instructions on properly packaging the laser for shipment.
If you no longer have the original shipping box and inserts, contact SYNRAD® Customer Ser-
vice about purchasing replacement packaging.
Important
Note:
Failure to properly package the laser using SYNRAD-supplied shipping boxes
and foam/cardboard inserts as shown in the Packaging instructions may void
the warranty. Customers may incur additional repair charges for shipping dam-
age caused by improper packaging.
Important
Note:
Exercise great care when handling infrared optics; they are much more fragile
than common glass materials. Optical surfaces and coatings are easily dam-
aged by rough handling and improper cleaning methods.
Debris or contaminants on the laser’s output coupler or external beam delivery components
may aect laser processing and lead to damage or failure of the optics and/or the laser. Care-
fully follow the steps below to inspect and clean the optical components in the beam path.
Before beginning the cleaning process, read this entire section thoroughly to ensure that all
cleaning materials are available and that each step is completely understood.
Caution
Even small amounts of contamination on optics in the beam
path can absorb enough energy to damage the optic.
Inspect beam delivery optics periodically for signs of contaminants
and carefully clean as required.
