Space Requirements 

 
Sufficient floor space is also required for the laser system. The suggested minimum room 
size is 10 x 10 feet (3 x 3 meters). Allow 24 inches (61 cm) of clearance on all sides of 
the machine so that the air vents will not be obstructed. 
The POLYLASE MX Laser is moved easily from room to room. Make sure that adequate 
space and appropriate electrical hookups are available in each room where its use is 
anticipated. If the system is moved, care must be taken to ensure that the optical fiber 
cables and laser handpieces are not damaged. 
 
 
 

Footswitch Connection 

 
 
Check to see that the footswitch cable is firmly connected to the footswitch receptacle 
input on the back of the laser unit.
