2.2 Laser safety
2.2.1 Laser classification
The here described machine is equipped with an enclosed laser pointer and a sealed carbon dioxide
laser source that emits invisible and intense laser radiation with a wavelength of 10.6 microns.
Laser classification according to DIN EN 60825-1 "Safety of Laser Products":
- SP3000 laser machine Class 2 (US: Class II) in the working area and operating range,
due to the key safety devices and enclosed laser pointer
(normal operation)
- Laser source Class 4 (US: Class IV)
- Enclosed laser pointer Class 2 (US: Class II)
WARNING
Laser radiation of Class 2 (US: class II)
For Class 2 (US: Class II) laser is short term exposure (up to 0.25 sec) harmless to the eyes
and can therefore be operated without additional protective measures. However it can cause
irritation of the eyes if the natural avoidance reaction (staring into the beam deliberately) or
eyelid closure reflex is suppressed.
- Do not suppress the eyelid closure reflex.
- Do not stare directly into the beam.
- Close eyes, turn away.
- Never look at the laser beam directly with an optical instrument, e.g. a lens.
WARNING
Laser radiation of Class 4 (US: class IV)
Exposure to laser radiation of Class 4 (US: Class IV) can cause injury to the eyes and skin.
- The skin and eyes must not be exposed to direct or reflected or scattered radiation.
- Wear suitable laser safety protection glasses.
- When dealing with Class 4 (US: Class IV) laser machines, it is necessary to appoint a
trained laser safety officer to evaluate potential hazards and to ensure that appropriate
control measures are implemented.
It is the responsibility of the operator to comply with the national official and statutory
regulations for the operation of a class 4 (US: class IV) laser system or laser system with
a build in laser source of class 4 (US: class IV).
