3.1 Basic Safety Instructions
The following safety instructions have fundamental importance for the use of the
workstation, and for its care and maintenance.
They must always be followed and are only stated centrally here.
Laser safety If used properly, the workstation with an integrated laser marking device can be operated
in laser protection class 1.
The laser protection screen in the viewing window is matched to the characteristics of the
laser marking device. The specification corresponds at least to the required protection lev-
el and can be taken from the adhesive label on the window.
•Only use the workstation and laser marking device in the combination supplied by the
manufacturer!
•If the protection screen is damaged, the device must not be operated.

Safety
13
Emissions •Chemical and physical reactions during the laser marking can cause
- gases,
- vapours,
- aerosols,
- dusts,
-mistsor
- other reaction products
to be given off from the material surface.
These may be toxic, depending upon the material being processed. The operating
company must therefore provide effective extraction. Information about this can be
found, for example, in the VDI Guideline 2262 1 to 3 "Air Quality in the Work Place".
General •Read the Operating Instructions, and keep them at hand at all times.
•Follow the Operating Instructions for the laser marking device.
•Follow the Operating Instructions for the air conditioner and the instructions for any oth-
er devices made by other manufacturers (for example extraction units).
•Do not mark any easily flammable or combustible materials.
Start up •Each time before starting up, ensure that all safety devices are mounted and working
perfectly.
- Covers
- Door mechanism
- Emergency stop button
•Never use the device system immediately after large temperature changes. Conden-
sation water may damage the device.

Safety
14
Operation •The workstation may only be operated by trained personnel.
It is advisable to log both the initial training as well as the regular refresher courses.
•The device may only be operated when connected to an alternating voltage supply cor-
responding to the specifications on the type plate.
•The effectiveness of the protective conductor must be regularly checked and confirmed
by an authorized skilled worker.
•If a defect occurs in the workstation, it must be disconnected from the power supply
system and secured against being switched on again.
Maintenance/care •Maintenance and repair work on the workstation may only be performed by the manu-
facturer.
•Disconnect the device from the power supply before starting cleaning and care tasks.
•Do not touch the electrical/electronic components.

4.1 Intended Purpose
The manual workplace solution Workstation CLASSIC Fibre is characterized by its large
workroom. You can mount workpieces with an area of up to 340 mm x 360 mm on its
T-slot plate.
Depending on the laser system and objective used, a marking field of maximum
180 mm x 180 mm is available.
The integrated electrically driven Z axis allows marking on workpieces with differing
heights. The stroke length of the Z axis is 150 mm.
A focus finder (consisting of two pilot lasers) assist the operator in setting up the proper
working distance within a few seconds.
The electrically driven safety door enables workpieces to be changed easily.
