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.
Control/operation/other activities Qualified personnel or Qualified personnel are those who can judge the (e.g. troubleshooting, maintenance) Trotec service technicians work entrusted to them and detect potential risks based on their occupational training, knowledge and experience as well as their understanding of the relevant regulations.
