lASER RADIAtIoN
Exposure to the laser beam from a laser pointer can result in serious eye injury. Avoid direct eye exposure.
On products that use a laser pointer for alignment, one of the following laser radiation labels has been applied on the product near where the
laser beam exits the enclosure. The maximum output (mV), wavelength emitted (nM), and, if appropriate, pulse duration are also provided.
Additional laser safety instructions:
• Consult with an expert on local laser regulations. Laser safety
training may be required.
• Do not allow untrained persons to operate the laser. Lasers can be
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Do not look into the laser aperture or beam at any time.
• Position the laser as instructed to avoid unintentional eye contact.
• Do not use the laser on reflective workpieces.
• Do not use optical tools to view or reflect the laser beam.
• Do not disassemble or remove the laser or aperture cover.
• Modifying the laser or product in any way can increase the risk of
laser radiation.
• Use of adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified in this manual may result in hazardous laser radiation
exposure.
• Do not operate in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
• Use only laser parts and accessories that are recommended or
provided by the manufacturer for your model.
• Repairs and servicing must be performed by qualified personnel.
• Do not remove or deface the laser safety label.
