DANGEROUS VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT WITHIN THE ELECTRONICSENCLOSURES
OF THIS SYSTEM. Access to these areas is not necessary during normal operation.
If
it
bec
omes
necessary to open one of these enclosures for service
r
easons
,
please
remember
to disconnect
the
power cord from your electrical
supply
.
NEVER REMOVE THE GROUND LEAD TO THE ELECTRICAL CORD AND PLUG THE
SYSTEM INTO A NON-GROUNDED OUTLET. A laser system that is not properly
grounded
is
hazar
dous
and has the potential to cause severe or fatal electrical
shock
.
Without proper
g
r
ounding
,
the
laser
system may exhibit sporadic or
unpredictable
beha
vior
.
Always plug the system into a
pr
operly
grounded
(earthed)
outlet.
THE POWER SUPPLY CORD IS THE MAINS DISCONNECT DEVICE; THE EQUIPMENT
SHOULD BE LOCATED CLOSE TO AN EASILY ACCESSIBLE POWER OUTLET.
To
disconnect
the
equipment
from the supply
mains
,
the power cord should be
unplugged
from the power outlet
or
main power inlet (appliance coupler) of the
unit.
THE LASER SYSTEM IS DESIGNED AS A CLASSI, GROUP A, PLUGGABLE DEVICE.
I
t
is
also
designed for connection to
IT
power systems which provide the most
flexibility
to
the
user
.
THIS DEVICE IS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO COMPLY WITH CDRH PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS
UNDER 21 CFR 1040.10 AND 1040.11 AND TO COMPLY WITH EUROPEAN LASER SAFETY
REGULATIONS UNDER EN60825-1. CDRH is the Center for the Devices of

CO2Laser Safety
ULS Laser systems are designed to support a sealed carbon dioxide (CO2) laser cartridge that produces intense
invisible laser radiation at a wavelength of 10.6 microns in the infrared spectrum. For your protection, the laser is
contained within a Class 1* enclosure designed to completely contain the CO2laser beam. CAUTION: Use of
controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in exposure to
hazardous levels of invisible laser radiation.
•Laminated safety glass is employed in the viewing window to block 10.6 micron laser radiation from CO2
lasers. This viewing window will block transmission of CO2laser radiation allowing safe observation of
laser processing. Do not operate the laser system if the view port is damaged, with any of the doors
removed or if any of the safety interlocks are defeated.
•
T
he
intense light that appears during the engraving or cutting process is the product of material
c
ombustion
or vaporization. DO NOT STARE AT THIS INTENSE LIGHT FOR LONG PERIODS OF
TIME OR VIEW DIRECTLY WITH OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS SUCH AS BINOCULARS OR
MICROSCOPES.
•
This
device contains a visible Red Diode Pointer
(Class 2)
to aid in positioning material to be cut or
eng
ra
v
e
d
.
DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE RED LASER BEAM OR USE A REFLECTIVE
SURFACE TO REDIRECT OR VIEW THE RED LASER BEAM. NEVER ATTEMPT TO VIEW THE RED
LASER BEAM USING OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS SUCH AS BINOCULARS OR MICROSCOPES.
•
T
he
user door(s) are safety interlocked which will prevent the CO2laser beam from firing when the
user
door(s)
are
opened
.
T
he
Red Diode Pointer is NOT safety interlocked and can be automatically
activated with the
door(s)
either open or
closed
.
•DO NOT OPERATE THE LASER SYSTEM IF ANY SAFETY FEATURES HAVE BEEN MODIFIED,
DISABLED OR REMOVED.
This
may lead to accidental exposure to invisible CO2laser radiation
which may cause severe
ey
e
damage
and/or severe burns to your skin.
•
Always
use caution when
operating
a laser
sy
st
em.
*An
enclosure which does not permit human access to laser radiation in excess of the accessible emission limits of
Class
1
for the applicable
wavelength
and emission
duration.
