CHAPTER I - SAFETY
Safety Ratings
Laser engravers that have the CDRH safety rating of Class 1 are required to have key safety features
such as an enclosed laser beam and safety interlock mechanisms designed to protect the operator. In
addition to the safety features of a Class1 machine, the Pinnacle ZX Series has been equipped with a
red guidance pointer. This red dot allows the operator to safely see the focal point of the laser beam.
It also gives ZX Series the improved CDRH safety rating of 3a. Although the ZX Series is our most
powerful laser engraver, when used correctly, it is an extremely safe machine.
Principles of CO
2
Laser
LASER is the acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. A CO
2
laser works
by electrically stimulating the molecules of a carbon dioxide gas mixture. When focused through a
lens, this invisible intensive beam can vaporize many materials. Depending on the speed and
intensity of the beam, a CO
2
laser may be used to engrave or cut through a wide variety of materials.
The Safety Interlock System
The Pinnacle ZX Series is complete with a safety interlock system that automatically shuts off the
power supply to the laser whenever the top or front door is opened. There are magnets on the top
and front door, which activate this safety mechanism. Do not attempt to remove or modify these
magnets or any other component of the safety interlock system.
Safety measures
z
Prior to operation, carefully read and be familiar with the warning labels on your machine as well
as in this manual.
z
Always wear certified safety goggles. Reflective materials such as mirrors, enameled brass and
anodized aluminum may reflect a portion of the invisible laser radiation. This may cause sever
eye damage if appropriate safety goggles are not worn.
NOTE:
Each Pinnacle laser machine is equipped with a safety goggle, if you need another one,
please contact Pinnacle for it or try to get one that meets the following specification.
190-398 nm OD5+
10,600 nm OD5+
Visible light transmission: 92.9%
z
A clean, well-ventilated room with a temperature of 15cel~25cel (60far~78far) (especially the
temperature of 25cel), and a relative humidity between 30% and 40% as an office type of
environment.
z
Connect the machine to a properly grounded power outlet. Make sure that the voltage level of
the machine matches that of the power source.
