Safety and Compliance Information Important Welding Specific Safety Information 2.3.1 Secondary Radiation Hazard Visible and Invisible Light Radiation Produced During Welding.The interaction between high power laser beams and target materials being welded may create plasmas that produce UV emissions and “blue light” which may cause conjunctivitis, photochemical damage to the retina and/or sunburn-like reaction to the skin.
Safety and Compliance Information 2.3.4 Fire Hazard The heat and sparks produced during welding are capable of starting a fire or causing an explosion. Laser welding should only be performed if the area is free of combustible materials Never weld on containers that have flammable or combustible material. If the container contents are unknown, you should assume they are flammable or combustible.
Safety and Compliance Information 2.3.6 Gas Cylinder Safety Gas cylinders may explode if damaged or placed nearby to the welding area causing injury and property damage. Gas cylinders should be shielded and located in areas where they cannot be struck or damaged.Place them away from sources of heat, sparks or flame, as well as deflection from laser beam.
Safety and Compliance Information 2.4 General Safety Instructions If this device is used in a manner not specified in this document, the protection provided by the device may be impaired and the warranty will be voided. 2.4.1 Specular Reflections Often there can be numerous secondary laser beams produced at various angles near the laser output aperture.
Safety and Compliance Information 2.4.3 Optical Safety The laser output is delivered through a window or circularizer with any anti-reflection coating. Make sure that the window is clean and of good quality. Any dust on the end of the head assembly can burn the window and damage the laser. Check the quality of the spot emitted from the laser output at low power levels and then gradually increase the output power.
Safety and Compliance Information 2.5 Electrical Safety The input voltage to the laser weld unit is potentially lethal!All electrical cables and connections should be treated as if they were at a harmful level. All parts of the electrical cable, connector or device housing should be considered dangerous. All electrical and weld gas connections must be connected prior to applying power to the unit.
Safety and Compliance Information 2.6 Environmental Safety The product must not be disposed of with household waste. Electronic equipment must be disposed of in accordance with departmental directives on the disposal of electronic and electrical waste. Ensure that all personal protective equipment (PPE) is suitable for the output power and wavelength range listed on the laser safety labels that are affixed to the laser.
