Observe all safety precautions in the user's manual.
Extreme caution should be exercised when using solvents in the vicinity of the laser.
Restrict access to the area in which the laser resides to personnel familiar with laser
safety practices and who are aware of the dangers involved.
Never look along the optical axis of the laser source or at scattered radiation from any
reflective or partially reflective surface.
Remove any reflective jewelry such as watches, bracelets or rings to prevent inadvertent
reflections.
Keep the beam path in any experimental setup in a horizontal plane and at low heights to
prevent inadvertent eye exposure at eye level - when standing as well as when sitting.
WARNING
As a precaution against accidental exposure to the output beam or its reflection, those
within the "nominal hazard zone" should wear laser protective eyewear specific to the
laser wavelength being used.
Operate the laser only in an enclosed, light-tight room. A collimated output beam will
remain hazardous over large distances and thus presents a potential hazard if not
confined.
Post warning signs within and along the periphery of the nominal hazard zone to alert
those present of the potential hazard. All entrances should be posted with warning signs.
that the laser be operated in a room with controlled and restricted access. Any available
interlocks on the laser system should be connected to doors that enter the restricted area.
