Safety Laser safety 2.2.1 Laser classification The laser safety class indicates the risk potential from accessible laser radiation. The laser system is a Class 2 (US: Class II) laser marking system as per IEC 60825-1 "Safety of Laser Product". The integrated laser source is a Class 4 (US: Class IV) laser marking system according to IEC 60825-1 and identified as such.
Safety Class 2 (US: class II) The accessible laser radiation of Class 2 (US: Class II) laser systems does not pose any hazard for the skin. Diffuse reflections as well as any short-term irradiation of the eyes (exposure time max. 0.25 seconds) also pose no risk due to the low output power.
• The machine and its components, such as the lens and mirrors, are to be kept clean at all times. • Caution The adjustment of the beam path may only be carried out by service personnel of Trotec Laser GmbH.

Maintenance Maintenance Safety notes Danger Improper maintenance can cause serious injury or damage. Maintenance may be carried out only by authorized, trained personnel who are familiar with how to operate the machine and in strict observance of all safety notes. Danger Risk of fire or explosion.
7. Clean the transparent acrylic top lid using a dry or slightly damp cotton cloth. Do not use paper towels as they could scratch the acrylic. 8.4.2 Optics in general Trotec Laser GmbH recommends to use the cleaning set enclosed. Alternatively, use high-quality cotton swabs together with the provided cleaning liquid.
Maintenance Notice The following cleaning products are available as accessory parts: – Lens cleaning cloth – Lens cleaning liquid 8.4.3 Lens Warning Damage to optics. Soiled optics absorb laser radiation and can thus be destroyed. Broken or damaged lenses as well as thermal decomposition of lenses release particles which cause serious damage to the health.
Maintenance Notice Trotec Laser GmbH recommends to use the following cleaning products, which are available as accessory parts: Lens cleaning cloth (part number 69249) and lens cleaning liquid (part number 69248). 8.4.4 Cleaning the mirrors Caution Make sure that you do not touch the mirror with your fingers, since this would greatly reduce the service life of the mirror.
Maintenance CLEANING THE MIRROR #4 1. While holding the mirror, loosen the two knurled screws (1) and li the mirror from the mirror holder. Caution Make sure that the mirror does not grind over the mirror holder, as it can be scratched very easily. 2.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting This chapter should enable the maintenance personnel to identify and resolve operational faults based on error messages and symptoms. Warning Risk of fire from incorrect parameter settings. Laser operation with incorrect parameter settings such as power settings, speed or frequency can result in flame formation.
