The laser must be stored and used in a locked area that can only be accessed by authorized
l
personnel.
Keep all unnecessary personnel out of the work area.
l
Keep all reflective surfaces (such as rings, watch bands, metal pencils, etc.) away from the work
l
area.
Keep all flammable/volatile materials and containers away (which the laser could ignite) from the
l
work area.
Operate lasers under the supervision of qualified personnel only. When not in use, shut down the
l
laser completely.
Keep the laser firing area well lit so that the pupils of worker's eyes will naturally constrict. This
l
reduces the amount of light entering the eye, reducing the potential for eye damage.
Place a fire-resistant background behind the target area.
l
Coat the area surrounding the laser with a material that absorbs any scattered radiation that might
l
occur.
Never leave the laser running unattended.
l
Never track individuals, vehicular traffic, aircraft or any airborne objects by means of laser radiation.
l
Electrical Safety
To prevent electrical shock, ensure that the capacitors are completely discharged and the power is
l
turned off before performing any cleaning or disinfecting to the laser. Electric shock and burns
resulting from input power or capacitor discharge can cause serious injury or death.
Be aware that high voltages are present in the laser heads once AC power is turned on.
l
Ensure the ambient temperature around the laser (which may be higher than the room temperature)
l
is within the limit specified for the laser.
Ensure there is sufficient airflow around the laser.
l
Ensure electrical circuits are not overloaded; consider the nameplate rating of all the connected
l
equipment, and make sure you have overcurrent protection.
Ensure the equipment is properly grounded.
l
Do not place objects on top of the laser.
l
Safety Features
Dangerous laser radiation and high voltage is present when the Vevo LAZR-X laser cart is active. There are
covers that need to be in place to protect the operator from stray radiation and electrical high voltages.
These safety features should not be defeated except by trained Service Technicians in a controlled
environment.
Interlocks
The laser has interlock switches which stop it from firing when:
the laser head (rod) temperature is too high
l
the laser head cover is open
l
the cooling water flow is too low
l
the external interlock (if installed) is open
