Chapter 2 General Safety Information
4-General Safety Instructions
1、Specular Reflection
There are often numerous secondary laser beams produced at various
angles in the output port of the laser. These divergent beams are produced
when the primary beam of laser reflects off a smooth surface, and they are
called specular reflections. Although these secondary beams may be less
powerful than the total power emitted from the primary beam, the intensity
may be great enough to cause damage to the eyes and skin as well as
surface of materials.
WARNING:
◎ You must exercise caution to avoid/minimize specular reflections as
these laser radiations are invisible!
2、Safety Instructions of Accessories
Optical accessories relevant to the laser, such as light-sensitive elements
that may be damaged from exposure to the laser light, video cameras,
photomultipliers and photodiodes, need related protections.
WARNING :
◎ The Maxphotonics MFSC laser light is strong enough to cut or weld
metal, burn skin, clothing and paint. In addition, this light can ignite
volatile substances such as alcohol, gasoline, ether and other solvents.
During the operating process, the flammable materials around the laser
must be isolated.
3、Optical Operating Instructions
We strongly recommend that you read the following procedures before
operating the laser:
