Safety and Preparation For Use
CAREFULLY READ THE SAFETY INFORMATION IN THIS SECTION
BEFORE USING THE NL100 NITROGEN LASER. LASER SAFETY PAYS!
The NL100 Nitrogen Laser is a Class IIIb that emits invisible ultraviolet (UV) radiation
at 337.1 nm with sufficient intensity to be considered an acute hazard to human eyes and
skin. Therefore, all persons operating the NL100 laser and all persons in the vicinity of
the NL100 laser when it is in operation must be aware of the hazards of UV laser beams.
Basic Safe Laser Practices
•
NEVER
look directly into the laser beam.
•
Only qualified personnel should operate the laser system.
•
Always wear laser safety glasses or eyewear that protects against UV laser light
whenever the red LED emission indicator is lit. See below for a partial vendor list of
laser safety eyewear.
•
Do not expose skin to the laser beam because burns may result. Chronic exposure of
skin to UV light may increase the risk of skin cancer.
•
Do not expose eyes or skin to specular reflections generated by the laser beam and an
optical surface.
•
Securely mount the NL100 laser system and all optical elements in the beam path.
Trace all specular reflections of the laser beam and block eye or skin access to these
specular reflections.
•
NEVER operate the laser with the protective housing off. The laser power supply
generates high voltages and currents that have the potential to produce a lethal
electrical shock.
Stanford Research Systems recommends that users obtain the American National
Standards (ANSI) Z136.1 (2000) Safe Use of Lasers, (available from the Laser Institute
of America on the Internet at www.laserinstitute.org) or the IEC 60825-1 Safety of Laser
Products – Part 1: Equipment Classification, Requirements, and Users Guide prior to
operating the NL100 nitrogen laser system.
