Working Gas
Danger through the working gas (fluoride 0.106 %, argon 3.33 % and neon 96.56 %)
has not to be feared.
The laser head contains only a small quantity of fluoride. It is checked according to
the pressure containment regulations. An unintentional output of working gas is very
unlikely. Fluoride can be recognised through its pungent smell, long before the
concentration will come to maximum allowed values for working places. In such
case, open the window, leave the room and call service department of your
distributor or directly
Gas containment:
Pressure gas bottle with working gas is stored inside a gas containment. This gas
containment is airtight and has a filter, which would absorb the fluoride in case of a
leak. For service demands, there is a pressure gas bottle with helium, stored inside
the gas containment too.
