Gases, Fumes And Dust; Reflection Through Materials - Trotec Speedy 400 Operating Manual

Safety
2.8.2

Gases, fumes and dust

Depending on the materials being processed and the parameters selected, laser processing may generate gases, fumes,
aerosols or dust. Depending on the material, such by-products may be toxic. In individual cases, the reaction products
may be electrically conductive dusts. If these enter electric systems, short-circuiting with personal injury and property
damage may occur.
The operator is responsible for ensuring presence of a suitable extraction system and compliance with the relevant
guidelines in order to protect persons and the environment. The guideline VDI 2262 1-3 "Workplace air" provides, among
other things, additional remarks.
The operator must also ensure that gases, fumes or dust do not settle on the processing lens. Any dirt accumulating on
the processing lens can lead to loss of performance, poor processing results and damage to the device.
2.8.3

Reflection through materials

Warning
Danger from laser beam.
Invisible laser radiation of reflecting materials can cause serious injury or material damage.
–
Only material according to the intended use of the machine may be used.
– Do not use material with high reflecting surfaces such as aluminum, chromium, precious metals,
metal foils, stainless steel, brass, copper and titanium.
–
Take special care with surfaces formed convex and concave.
