Specular Reflection
There are often numerous secondary laser beams produced at various angles
in the output port of the laser. These divergent beams are produced when the
primary beam of laser reflects off a smooth surface, and they are called specular
reflections. Although these secondary beams may be less powerful than the
total power emitted from the primary beam, the intensity may be great enough to
cause damage to the eyes and skin as well as surface of materials.
WARNING:
◎
You must exercise caution to avoid/minimize specular reflections as these
laser radiations are invisible!

Safety Instructions of Accessories
The photosensitive elements integrated in laser-related optical accessories may
be damaged by laser exposure, such as video cameras, photomultiplier tubes,
and photodiodes. Attention should be paid to related device protection.
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.
