Personnel safety
THIS MACHINE HAS A CLASS 4 LASER BOXED IN A CLASS 1 CASING. THIS MACHINE IS CONSIDERED
AS CLASS 2M DUE TO ITS VISIBLE DIODE LASER (red).
• The machine is considered as Class 1 when the door is closed.
In this case, the security enclosure of the LS900 Fibre / LS900 Edge is locked and sealed against potential
Laser radiation emissions under normal working and safety conditions. The modification of locking
systems, or the removal of these systems or labels designed for safety, will result in exposure to hazards
from the Laser beam. Any modification is prohibited. The LS900 Fibre / LS900 Edge is closed, locked and
labelled to ensure that it works in complete safety. The labels and security devices must not be removed
or concealed by the operator.
•
The machine is considered as Class 2M when the door is opened (emission power equal to or less than 1 mW).
In this case, the security shutter in the Laser module closes to avoid any risk of Laser emission. The
marking can only be carried out if the door is closed.
If the machine is being integrated, the installer is responsible for ensuring the final equipment conforms
to current legislation. Observe EN 60825-1 standard concerning the controls and signage (access
panels, doors, emergency stops...). Example: application of safety pictograms, installation of suitable
guards, use of the electrical safety channel provided on the equipment (non-exhaustive list).
Only trained personnel aware of the risks posed by the machine are authorized to use it. Only Gravotech
personnel, or persons authorized by Gravotech may service the elements that constitute the marking
machine. Any intervention by unauthorized third party would exclude Gravotech's liability.
Laser radiation is invisible, but exposure, direct or scattered, is hazardous to skin and eyes.
Do not use this marking equipment in an explosive environment. No inflammable material should be
located within the machine enclosure near the reflected beam (operator's shirt, curtains, wall covering
in non-synthetic material: fire hazard). For safety reasons, never operate the machine without constant
surveillance.
This laser can produce dangerous diffuse reflections. It may lead to skin and eye injuries as well as
a fire risk. Its use requires extreme caution. Fire prevention and protection equipment is the user's
responsibility.
Do not look at the Laser beam continuously when marking, even through the protective glass. The light
intensity may strain the eye.
