Laser Safety; Safety Labels - Universal Laser Systems M-360 Safety, Installation, Operation, And Basic Maintenance Manual

Laser Safety

The device contains a sealed carbon dioxide (CO2) laser in a Class I enclosure that produces intense
invisible and visible laser radiation at a wavelength of 10.6 microns in the infrared spectrum. For your
protection, this enclosure is designed to completely contain the CO2 laser beam. Improper use of
controls and adjustments, or performance of procedures other than those specified, may invalidate the
safety of this system.
•
The intense light that appears during the engraving or cutting process is the product of material
combustion or vaporization. DO NOT STARE AT THE BRIGHT LIGHT OR VIEW DIRECTLY WITH
OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS.
•
This device may contain a visible Red Dot Pointer (Class IIIa). DO NOT STARE AT THE RED LIGHT
OR VIEW DIRECTLY WITH OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS.
•
The user door(s) are safety interlocked and will disable the CO2 laser beam from firing when the user
door(s) are opened. The Red Dot Pointer is NOT safety interlocked and can be activated with the
door(s) either open or closed.
•
DO NOT OPERATE THE LASER SYSTEM IF ITS SAFTEY FEATURES HAVE BEEN MODIFIED,
DISABLED OR REMOVED. This may lead to accidental exposure to invisible and visible CO2 laser
radiation which may cause permanent blindness and/or severe burns to your skin.
