Laser Safety
The Epilog Legend Models 6000 and 7000 Laser Systems are Class 3R laser products, as
defined in International Standard IEC
60825
-1.
The Epilog Legend Models 6000 and 7000 comply with 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11,
the Federal Performance Standards for Light-Emitting Products, except for deviations
pursuant to Laser Notice No. 50, dated July 16, 2001. The Center for Devices and
Radiological Health, of the US FDA, issued Laser Notice No. 50 to permit manufacturers
to classify and manufacture their products in accordance with the International Standard.
The output of the embedded high-power CO
2
engraving laser is fully contained. The
product’s cabinet has interlocked doors, and no special precautions are necessary to
operate the high-power laser safely. However, the visible output beam of the product’s
Laser Diode Pointer is accessible to the operator. While this device employs the same
technology as the familiar laser pen-pointers, like them it is potentially hazardous if its
beam is directed into the eye.
We have made every effort to make the Laser Diode Pointer as safe as possible. Its beam
path is located well inside the cabinet, and under normal conditions, no hazardous levels
of laser radiation can escape.
