WARNING.

Do not set the temperature of SHG below air condensation temperature

(dew point) at laser head. Condensation on the SHG crystal can seriously damage the
crystal.

Check the eDrive

Flip the power switch on the back panel of the eDrive to the

position

Make sure that the red

EMERGENCY

button is released. Turn on the eDrive

by turning the key to

position and pressing the

POWER

button to power

up the eDrive.
