Laser Safety Information

To assess the potential dangers laser systems pose, they are
classified into 5 safety classes: 1, 2, 3a, 3b and 4. Trotec Speedy 400
flexx is a device of class 2 (USA: Class II) and class 4 (USA: Class
IV) with pass through option
Please note that improper operation of the device can override the
status of safety class 2 and can cause the emission of harmful
radiation.
This laser system contains an YTTERBIUM FIBER LASER and a
carbon dioxide (CO2) laser source of class 4 that emit intensive and
invisible laser radiation. Without safety precautions the direct
radiation or even diffuse reflected radiation is dangerous!
Without safety precautions, the following risks exist with exposure to
laser radiation:
Eyes:
Skin:
Clothing:
Never try to modify or disassemble the laser and do not try to start up
a system that had been modified or disassembled!
Dangerous radiation exposure can result from the use of
operation or adjustment equipment other than that described
here, and if different operational methods are performed.
Service technicians using the service plug are required to wear
standard laser safety glasses for NIR (Near Infra Red) lasers
(wavelength 1060 nm) and for CO2 lasers (wavelength 10.6 µm).
