Warning
possible
personal
injury
Lifting or moving Firestar f-Series lasers poses a potential for injury.
Use appropriate lifting techniques and/or equipment to prevent a risk
of injury. In some cases, you may require assistance from additional
personnel to safely unpack and move this equipment.
Unpacking
The Unpacking section includes subsections:
■ Incoming inspection
■ Packaging guidelines
■ Unpacking the f400 laser
■ Removing the lifting handles
Incoming inspection
Upon arrival, inspect all shipping containers for signs of damage. If you discover shipping damage,
document the damage (photographically if possible), then immediately notify the shipping carrier and
SYNRAD, Inc.
The shipping carrier is responsible for any damage occurring during transportation from SYNRAD, Inc. to
your receiving dock.
Packaging guidelines
■ To prevent equipment damage or loss of small components, use care when removing packaging materi-
als.
■ After unpacking, review the Inventory section and verify that all components are on hand.
■ Do not lift or support the laser using the cooling ttings; lift the laser by the mounting feet or
baseplate only.
■ Save all shipping containers and packaging materials, including covers and plugs. Use these special-
ized packing materials when shipping the laser to another location.
■ When packing a laser for shipment, be sure to remove all accessory items not originally attached to
the laser including beam delivery components, cooling tubing, etc.
■ Refer to Packaging instructions drawings in the Technical Reference chapter for details on packaging
f-Series lasers using SYNRAD-supplied shipping materials.
■ When shipping water-cooled lasers, remember to drain all cooling water from the laser and then cap
the open ttings to prevent debris from entering the coolant path.
■ Firestar f-Series lasers and power supplies are heavy and awkward to move. Use appropriate lifting
techniques, additional personnel, and/or hoisting equipment to prevent a risk of injury when rigging
this equipment.
