Chapter 2 General Safety Information
WARNING:
◎
The Maxphotonics MFSC laser light is strong enough to cut or weld metal,
burn skin, clothing and paint. In addition, this light can ignite volatile substances
such as alcohol, gasoline, ether and other solvents. During the operating
process, the flammable materials around the laser must be isolated.
3.Optical Operating Instructions
We strongly recommend that you read the following procedures before
operating the laser:
(
1
)
Never look directly into the laser output port when the power is turned on.
(
2
)
Avoid positioning the laser and all optical output components at eye level.
(
3
)
Equip with laser beam casing.
(
4
)
Remove the end-cover before switch ON laser. Or else the output head will
be damaged irreversibly.
(
5
)
Ensure that all personal protective equipment is suitable for the output
power and wavelength range of the laser.
(
6
)
Use the laser in a room with access controlled by door interlocks. Post
warning signs. Limit the safety areas to operate the laser.
(
7
)
Please do not operate laser in darkened environments.
(
8
)
Do not turn on the laser without an optical coupling fiber or the optical
output connector.
(
9
)
Do not install or detach cutting heads or collimators when laser is active.
(
10
)
Carry out commissioning, calibration and focusing at low output power
and then increase the output power gradually when the calibrating and focusing
work is done.
