LASER HEAD – SAFETY & HEALTH GUIDELINES
THE LASER HEAD IS A CLASS 3B LASER PRODUCT.
Class 3B lasers are hazardous for eye exposure. They can heat skin and materials but are not considered a burn hazard.
For visible-light lasers, this laser’s module output power is between 5 and 499 milliwatts at 405 nanometers.
SAFE USE GUIDANCE
The Laser Head is a Class 3B laser product that can reach up to 499 milliwatts. The laser module in this product can emit
radiation that causes eye injury if used improperly. Due to the nature of the manufacturing process and the different
materials the laser can be shined on, use of laser protective eyewear (provided with this product) is mandatory even if
class 3B lasers are usually considered safe if reflected from a matte surface. Even mildly refllective surfaces can cause eye
damage.
The risk of eye injury is always present: even a brief exposure could cause retinal damage.
Never look directly at the laser beam focusing point unless you are using the provided safety glasses.
Do not use sunglasses or other glasses unless specifically designed to filter out the same power level and wavelenght of
this product’s laser class.
ONLY ALLOW USE BY A RESPONSIBLE PERSON
This is not a toy. Children should not be permitted to use the FABtotum Personal Fabricator when equipped with a Laser
Head.
Any teenager using the Laser Head should be continuously supervised by a responsible adult.
DO NOT USE AS A LASER POINTER
Not designed to work stand-alone and to be easily pointed at targets, the purpose of this product is NOT laser pointing.
Use of the unit in this manner is not intended by the manufacturer.
Pointing the unit, reflecting or diverting the beam to another target other than the intended material to be cut or engraved
is extremely dangerous and may cause harm or injury.
EYE INJURY HAZARD — DIRECT AND REFLECTED BEAM
Reflections off mirrors, glass, and shiny surfaces can be just as hazardous as the direct beam. Avoid reflected radiation and
use of reflective materials.
