CO

and Fiber Laser Safety (PLS6 Multi Wavelength Laser System Only)
The PLS6 multi wavelength laser system is designed to support a sealed carbon dioxide (CO2) laser cartridge
that produces intense invisible laser radiation at a wavelength of 10.6 microns or 9.3 microns in the infrared
spectrum and a fiber laser cartridge that produces intense indivisible laser radiation at a wavelength of 1060
nanometers (1.06 microns). For your protection, these laser cartridges are contained within a Class 1* enclosure
designed to completely contain both the CO2 laser beam and the fiber laser beam. CAUTION: Use of controls,
adjustments or procedures other than those specified herein may result in exposure to hazardous levels of
invisible laser radiation.
• Fiber laser radiation is especially damaging to the eye if viewed directly. The green tinted top door
viewing window is designed to completely contain both CO
2
and fiber laser radiation allowing safe
observation of laser processing. Do not operate the laser system with any of the doors removed, if the
view port is damaged or if any of the safety interlocks are defeated.
• The intense light that appears during the engraving or cutting process is the product of material
combustion or vaporization.
DO NOT STARE AT THIS INTENSE LIGHT FOR LONG PERIODS OF
TIME OR VIEW DIRECTLY WITH OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS SUCH AS BINOCULARS OR
MICROSCOPES.
• This device contains a visible Red Diode Pointer (Class 2) to aid in positioning material to be cut or
engraved.
DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE RED LASER BEAM OR USE A REFLECTIVE
SURFACE TO REDIRECT OR VIEW THE RED LASER BEAM. NEVER ATTEMPT TO VIEW THE RED
LASER BEAM USING OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS SUCH AS BINOCULARS OR MICROSCOPES.
•
The user door(s) are safety interlocked which will prevent the CO
2
laser or fiber laser beam from firing
when the user door(s) are opened. The Red Diode Pointer is NOT safety interlocked and can be
automatically activated with the door(s) either open or closed.
• DO NOT OPERATE THE LASER SYSTEM IF ANY SAFETY FEATURES HAVE BEEN MODIFIED,
DISABLED OR REMOVED.
This may lead to accidental exposure to invisible CO
2
laser or fiber laser
radiation which may cause severe eye damage and/or severe burns to your skin.
• Always use caution when operating a laser system.
*An enclosure which does not permit human access to laser radiation in excess of the accessible emission limits of Class 1
for the applicable wavelength and emission duration.
