Safety information
General safety rules
Touching live electrical parts can cause fatal damage or serious burns
.
Improper installation or improper grounding of this appliance can be dangerous. Do not touch live electrical parts. Remove the
power plug from the mains before installing or making repairs to the machine. Properly install and earth this device per the instruction
manual and in accordance with local standards and regulations. Always turn off the machine after use. Do not use weak or damaged
cables, or cables of insufficient diameter or that are poorly connected. Make sure that cables are not near heat sources. Use the
device only if in perfect condition. Repair or replace damaged parts immediately.
Never open covers, or attempt to repair or modify the device.
These actions may lead to electric shock and fire. Do not attempt to perform work on the device except as described in the maintenance section.
Always keep all covers tight and in their proper location.
Do not look at or touch the laser beam.
Class 4 laser product: uncontrolled reflections of the laser beam may result in burning or, in the worst cases, irreparable damage to
the eyes.
•
Never use mirrors or reflective objects while the device is in operation
•
Objects inside the welding chamber should be viewed exclusively through the viewing window located on the front of the
device or through the microscope.
•
Accidental eye exposure to laser radiation can cause cataracts and, in the worst cases, burning of the retina.
•
Do not remove the hand curtains for any reason.
•
Persons of small stature should not be near the hand curtains when the device is in use.
Operators are advised to protect hands by wearing appropriate UV protection gloves.
Wear provided safety glasses.
When the welding chamber is open or the bottom of the chamber is removed, the safety glasses MUST be worn, in order to prevent
damage to the retina. Safety glasses must have an OD 7 optical density and an L9 protection level for pulsed lasers with a wavelength
of 1064 nm, in compliance with the relevant EN 207 standard.
Laser welding can be dangerous.
Protect yourself and others from possible serious injury or death. Keep children away. Keep persons wearing pacemakers away,
unless they are provided with specific medical consent. Welding, as with most work, involves risks. Welding is safe if proper
precautions are taken. The welding risk is limited to manipulation of objects within the welding chamber. The process is safe; in any
case, it is important that the device be operated only by authorized personnel. INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
SHOULD ONLY BE PERFORMED BY HIGHLY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
Do not touch objects during or immediately after welding.
Recently welded objects can be hot
Stop operations immediately if an unforeseen problem arises.
Stop the device immediately in the event a problem involving a burning smell, abnormal noise, abnormally hot parts, smoke, etc.
occurs. There is a risk of electric shock or fire. Contact NEUTEC USA immediately.
Welding processes produce fumes and gas. Breathing these can be hazardous to your health.
Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not breathe fumes. Do not cover the vents on the device. Carefully read the instructions
concerning the various types of metals, detergents and shielding gas. The device should optimally be installed in a large, specially
dedicated room. If the room is small, please ensure that it is sufficiently ventilated. The shielding gas used for melting can gradually
saturate the air causing discomfort or death. Do not weld near areas used for degreasing, cleaning, or spraying. Heat may react with
vapors, producing toxic and irritating gases. Ensure that the metals are free from impurities that may cause fumes or gases during
melting. Provide for the use of an auxiliary intake system or, alternatively, the use of a face mask.
Laser welding can cause fire or explosion.
Sparks and weld splashes can cause fire or burns. Never place gas or flammable liquids in the welding chamber. Bottles and objects
containing gas or highly flammable liquids should be moved a safe distance away from the welding chamber.
Keep a fire
extinguisher nearby in case of fire
