Safety
General
All Cobolt 06-01 Series lasers are Class IIIB (CDRH), Class 3B (IEC) laser products which emit less than 500 mW of laser
radiation within the visible spectrum. The residual emission does not exceed Laser Class 1.
Eye and skin exposure to direct or reflected laser light is hazardous and may be extremely harmful. Always wear eye
protection appropriate to the beam wavelength and intensity. Lasers may pose a risk of igniting flammable materials
and in event of ignition gasses and fumes may be generated. All equipment used in close proximity to the laser beam
should be suitably fire resistant and the facility should be properly ventilated. 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. The device must be handled by skilled personnel experienced with
lasers, in a laboratory environment and with access to adequate laser safety equipment.
The laser head clearly displays a yellow warning label that shows the location of the laser beam aperture. This label
must be visible unless the laser beam is totally enclosed.
