Laser Safety
VISIBLE AND/OR INVISIBLE LASER RADIATION
CAUTION: The MINISYSTEM Laser System is a Class 4 OEM laser. Its
output beam is, by definition, a safety and fire hazard. Precautions must
be taken to prevent accidental exposure to both direct and reflected
beams.
Precautions for Safe Operation of Class 4 OEM Lasers:
Keep the protective covers on the Laser Head as much as possible. Do not operate the
laser with the covers removed for any reason.
Avoid looking at the laser output beam.
Do not wear reflective jewelry while using the laser, as it might cause inadvertent
hazardous reflections.
Use protective eyewear at all times. Consult the ANSI, ACGIH, or OSHA standards listed
at the end of this section for guidance on goggles and safety matters.
Operate the laser at the lowest possible beam intensity, given the requirements of the
intended application.
Increase the beam diameter wherever possible to reduce beam intensity and thus reduce
the hazard.
Avoid blocking the laser beam with any part of the body.
Use an IR detector or energy detector to verify that the laser beam is off before working in
front of the laser.
Establish a controlled access area for laser operation. Limit access to those trained in the
principles of laser safety.
