Health and Safety at Work
It is vital that PDR users familiarise themselves with the requirements of local health and safety legislation prior to
using the system.
Warnings and Cautions
For the purposes of this manual a warning refers to a danger of injury to the operator whereas a caution refers to a
danger of damage to the equipment. The warnings and cautions detailed below are basic safety requirements and
are intended to ensure operator awareness of the dangers of the equipment.
Warnings

Do not allow the Infra-Red spot from the lens unit (either directly or via mirror) to come into contact with the
eyes as serious eye damage may occur.

Do not allow the Infra-Red spot from the lens unit to contact exposed skin other than for a very short period,
since tissue damage may result.

Do not place parts of the body near the bottom of the lamp or near the back heater, since there is a risk of
burning or tissue damage.

When placing work under the lens, ensure the Infra-Red spot is switched off, to prevent unwanted localised
heating.

Death or serious injury may result from electric shock. It is therefore essential to isolate the equipment from the
mains before commencing repairs.

To eliminate the possibility of burns, allow time for the equipment to cool before commencing maintenance.
Cautions

Damage due to overheating may result from the equipment being left in any state other than idling or shutdown
for any period when the equipment is not in continuous use.

To eliminate the possibility of accidental operation of the footswitch ensure that it is located in a position where
nothing can rest or fall on it.

When using any selected lens attachment ensure that the minimum spot size used conforms to that stated in the
relevant text. Failure to comply with this instruction may result in damage to the iris.

Do not allow the spillage of any liquid to fall on the quartz emitter (back heater) as damage may result.

Due to the use of glass optical components the lens unit and all lens attachments should be handled with care.
