Safety information
General safety rules
Touching live electrical components can cause fatal injuries or serious burns
.
Improper equipment installation or incorrect grounding may be hazardous. Do not touch live parts. Remove the power plug from
the mains before installing or servicing the machine. Install this equipment properly and ground it in accordance with the operating
instructions and in accordance with local regulations and standards. Always turn off the machine after use. Do not use weak,
damaged, inadequate, or poorly connected cables. Be careful not to have cables near heat sources. Only use the equipment if in
perfect condition. Always immediately repair or replace damaged parts.
Do not open panels, repair or modify the equipment.
These manoeuvres can lead to electric shock and fires. Do not operate the equipment except as described in the maintenance
section. Always keep all the cover panels secured in their housings.
Do not look at or touch the LASER beam.
Class 4 LASER equipment. Uncontrolled reflections of the LASER beam may result in burning or, in the worst cases, irreparable
damage to the eyes.
•
Never introduce mirrors or reflecting objects while the equipment is operating
•
Inspection of manufactured products inside the welding chamber should be exclusively through the viewing window
located on the front of the equipment.
•
Accidental exposure of the eye to LASER radiation can cause cataracts and, in the worst cases, burn the retina.
•
Do not remove the hand introduction curtains for any reason whatsoever.
•
Persons of small stature should not be near the hand introduction curtains when the equipment is in use.
Operators are advised to protect hands by wearing appropriate UV protection gloves, which are suitable and approved by the
regulations in force.
Wear the protective goggles supplied.
With the welding chamber open, or when the bottom of the chamber is removed, it is MANDATORY to wear the safety glasses
provided, 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 BS EN 207 standard.
The LASER welder can be dangerous.
Protect yourselves and others from possible serious injury or death. Keep out of the reach of children. Keep persons wearing
pacemakers away, unless they are provided with specific medical consent. Welding, as with most jobs, involves risks. Welding is safe
if the due precautions are taken. The welding risk is limited to handling the manufactured products inside the welding chamber. The
process in itself is absolutely safe; in all cases, it is important that the equipment is operated by authorised personnel only.
INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR SHOULD ONLY BE PERFORMED BY HIGHLY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
Do not touch manufactured products during or immediately after welding.
Recently welded manufactured products can be hot.
Immediately stop operations in the event of an unexpected event.
Stop the device immediately if a problem occurs or a burning smell is perceived, an abnormal noise is heard, abnormally hot parts
are present or smoke is seen, etc. Electric shock or fire hazard. Contact OROTIG S.p.A. immediately.
