Safety
Dangerous voltages are present within the electronics and laser enclosures of this system.
•
Although access to these areas is not necessary during normal use, if it becomes necessary to open
one of these enclosures for service reasons please remember to disconnect the power cord from your
electrical supply.
Care should be taken when moving or lifting this device. Obtain assistance from 1 or 2 additional
•
people when lifting or carrying. Severe bodily injury may occur if improper lifting techniques are
applied or the system is dropped.
This device is specifically designed to comply with CDRH performance requirements under 21
•
CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11. CDRH is the Center for the Devices of Radiological Health division of the
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the USA. It also complies with CE (European Community)
safety regulations. No guarantees of suitability or safety are provided for any use other than those
specified by Universal Laser Systems, Inc.
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 has been designed to completely contain the CO2 laser beam. However,
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.
The Top Door and the Laser Cartridge Access Door are safety interlocked and will disable the
•
invisible CO2 laser beam from firing when the either door is opened.
Do not operate any system that has had its safety features modified, disabled, or removed as this can
•
expose your eyes and skin to invisible and visible CO2 laser radiation which can cause permanent
blindness and/or severe burns to your skin.
Improper use of controls and adjustments, or performance of procedures other than those specified in
•
this manual, may invalidate the safety of this system.
Safety Labels
CDRH and CE regulations require all laser manufacturers to affix warning labels in specific
locations throughout the equipment. The following warning labels are placed on the laser
system for your safety. DO NOT remove them for any reason. If the labels become damaged
or have been removed for any reason, DO NOT OPERATE the laser system and immediately
contact Universal Laser Systems, Inc. for a free replacement. Labels shown are NOT to scale
