EYES AND SKIN RISKS
If exposed to intense Laser radiation, even of a short duration, or a less intense but longer lasting duration,
both the Cornea and the Retina can burn and be damaged irreparably forever. This consequence is
completely realistic in the event of direct viewing of a Class 4 Laser beam.
If subject to direct focalized radiation, even the skin can burn.
In addition, it is necessary to bear in mind that a collateral ultraviolet radiation may exist with the main
radiation: long exposure may cause skin cancer.
GENERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS
The User must comply with the regulations and work in the best possible safety conditions to prevent
decreasing the degree of marking system safety. Therefore it is necessary to develop a Standard Operating
Procedure (S.O.P.) related to maneuvers to effect for turning on and off the equipment. This procedure,
which shall be prepared around the time of installation, shall serve as a reference for the Operator and shall
be written in his/her language.
Training is essential and must include:
•
Familiarization with system operating procedures.
•
Knowledge of the biological effects of radiation on the Eyes and Skin.
•
Understanding of the necessity for Individual Protection Devices (I.P.D.)
COLLATERAL RISKS
If the intended use of the source is changed, for example for material processing applications, collateral risks
may arise represented by the production of fumes and vapors which may be irritating or toxic, if not removed
and adequately filtered before being released into the air again.
WARNING!
It is advisable
not to change the intended use
without previously contacting the Manufacturer.
An additional risk may be represented by fire caused by processing materials other than those the
equipment is designed for.
WARNING!
When processing
flammable material
, since there is a
fire danger
, it is indispensable to follow the
instructions provided by the manufacturer when the marking system is commissioned.
WARNING!
Do not subject
materials other
than those the equipment was designed for to radiation.
