1.1 Principles of CO2 Laser
LASER is the acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of
radiation. A CO2 laser works by electrically stimulating the molecules within a
carbon dioxide gas mixture. When focused through a lens, this highly-intense,
invisible beam will vaporize many materials. Depending on the speed and
intensity of the projected beam, a CO2 laser may be used to mark or cut
through a wide variety of materials.
1.2 Safety Ratings
Laser marking systems that have the CDRH safety rating of Class 4 and the
StellarMark CIIP SeriesA 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 gives StellarMark CIIP Series a rating of 3R when it is integrated with a
safety door while operation.
1.3 The safety interlock
With the optional item of safety shield, it gives the StellarMark CIIP Series
marking systems the capability to automatically shut off the laser when the
door is opened. There are some magnets on the side of safety door, which
activate this safety mechanism. Do not attempt to remove or modify these
magnets or any other component of the safety interlock system.
1.4 The safety Labels
According to CDRH standards, all fixed or removable covers that allow access
to a laser beam must have the appropriate laser warning labels attached to
them. These warning labels must be clearly visible to the operator prior to
removing the cover. Additional labels must be applied inside of the machine
and be visible in the event the covers are removed. A label clearly displaying
the manufacturer’s name, date of manufacture, description of product, model
number, serial number, and compliance statement must be attached to the
outside of the machine.

In compliance with CDRH standards, the required warning labels are affixed at
the time of manufacture to the LaserPro StellarMark CIIP Series in the
appropriate locations. These labels are not to be modified in any way or
removed for any reason. Please familiarize yourself with the specific labels and
their locations on the machine. Below is a list of all the safety labels and their
locations on the machine.
Product Label
This label is located at the right-back side of machine. All the product
information such as Serial Number, Model Numbers, Laser Power and Electric
power can be found here. Before requiring any tech support, always provide
service person the information on this label.
