Page 9: General Safety Instructions
General Safety Instructions WARNING: Exercise caution to avoid/minimize specular reflections because reflections at the laser’s wavelength are invisible. There are often numerous secondary beams present at various angles near the laser. These beams are specular reflections of the main beam from various surfaces. Although these secondary beams may be less powerful than the total power emitted from the laser, the intensity may be large enough to cause damage to the eye and skin as well as materials surrounding the laser. - Page 10 CAUTION: If the output of the device is delivered through a lens with an anti-reflection coating make sure that the lens is of good quality and clean. Please refer to the instructions described in “Cleaning the Quartz Block” of this document. Any dust on the end of the collimator assembly can burn the lens and damage the laser.

Optical Connector Cleaning Guide It is highly important that a fiber connector is checked for dust and dirt prior to connection with an optical head or beam coupler. CAUTION: The use of a dirty, or improperly cleaned, fiber connector can lead to serious damage to the laser. - Page 25 The following procedure has to be followed for cleaning fiber connectors Switch off laser main power and start the beam switch. Warning: When the beam switch is connected to current there is a short flash of the beam switch diode laser. Don‘t look at the fiber end while the beam switch is started.
- Page 26 Use the additional light source. It has to be installed so that the light is reflected from the surface into the microscope. This will be achieved if you can see the reflection from the surface in a bright golden shine. IMPORTANT: Look at the surface always at a slight angle to improve visibility.
- Page 27 CAUTION: Do not touch the top of the cleaning bud with fingers and use every bud only once. Repeat the cleaning process (10.1 – 10.3) with acetone instead of Isopropanol. 12.4. The cleaning procedure can always be stopped if a good result has already been achieved.
