Laser classification

The laser safety class indicates the risk potential based on the level of accessible laser radiation.
The SpeedMarker 700 FL is a laser class 2 product and complies to the latest safety norms and regulations (IEC 60825-1).
Class 1
The accessible laser radiation of Class 1 laser systems does not pose any hazard for the skin or eyes.
In order to operate as a Class 1 laser system, the following points must be observed:
Notice
The entire course of the laser beam should be shielded to prevent radiation.
Any covers providing access to laser areas which may be removed without using a tool should be
fitted with suitable safety latches.
Inspection windows in the housing should be fitted with safety glass suitable for the laser output and
the sha length of the laser (DIN EN 207).
The product uses a Class 2 pilot laser. In order to prevent irritation of the eyes during operation, the operator should not
look directly at the laser source. Diffuse reflections of the pilot laser are entirely harmless.
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.
