CAUTION
Always wear the appropriate eye protection for all of the specified emitted wavelengths.
Verify the accessible emission wavelengths and power levels on the warning label before operating.
Fiber Pigtailed Option
All safety recommendations in section 2.1 are also valid for the Cobolt 06-01 series fiber pigtailed laser heads.
Additionally, heat generated from absorption of laser radiation by particles on the fiber end may increase the
probability of ignition hazards in certain environments. Always clean the fiber end before turning on the laser. In
systems where the beam is exposed, fiber end must be mounted < 2 m from the emission warning LED on the key
control box. It is advised to perform a risk assessment for the facility and equipment prior to using the laser. In the
case of integration into a larger system, laser safety compliance must be evaluated in the end product.
