1.1 Safety of Laser Light
Laser light could prove to be harmful to the human body. To ensure safety, the machine’s
laser optical system is sealed inside a protective housing and by external covers, serving to
prevent leakage of the light. The user is safe from the hazards of laser light as long as he/she
uses the machine under normal operating conditions.

(US government agency) put in force regulations governing laser products on August 2,
1976.
Under the regulations, laser products manufactured on and after August 1, 1976, cannot
