2. Information
To ensure security and productivity, read this manual before starting-up the equipment.
It provides details about the installation and use of the equipment.
Keep this manual in case you need to refer to it.
Fortheattentionofusershavinganindividualcardiacassistdevicetted:
Our equipment is designed and manufactured with the greatest care in order to
guarantee their compliance with the EMC Directive currently in force. This means
that the levels of electromagnetic emissions produced by this equipment when in
operationarelimitedanddonotexceedthethresholdsdenedbytheDirective.
However, multiple factors make it impossible to guarantee the total absence of risk
forusershavingacardiacassistdevicetted.Consequently,itisrecommendedthat
standing for a prolonged period within less than 1 m (3.281 ft) of an operating machine
should be avoided.

1. Recommendationsandsafetyregardinglaserdevices
Personnelsafety
THIS MACHINE HAS A CLASS 4 LASER BOXED IN A CLASS 1 CASING. THIS MACHINE IS CONSIDERED
AS CLASS 2M DUE TO ITS VISIBLE DIODE LASER (red).
• The machine is considered as Class 1 when the door is closed.
Inthiscase,thesecurityenclosureoftheLS900Fibre/LS900Edgeislockedandsealedagainstpotential
Laser radiation emissions under normal working and safety conditions. The modication of locking
systems,ortheremovalofthesesystemsorlabelsdesignedforsafety,willresultinexposuretohazards

• ThemachineisconsideredasClass2Mwhenthedoorisopened(emissionpowerequaltoorlessthan1mW).
In this case, the security shutter in the Laser module closes to avoid any risk of Laser emission. The
markingcanonlybecarriedoutifthedoorisclosed.
Ifthemachineisbeingintegrated,theinstallerisresponsibleforensuringthenalequipmentconforms
to current legislation. Observe EN 60825-1 standard concerning the controls and signage (access
panels, doors, emergency stops...). Example: application of safety pictograms, installation of suitable
guards, use of the electrical safety channel provided on the equipment (non-exhaustive list).
Only trained personnel aware of the risks posed by the machine are authorized to use it. Only Gravotech
personnel, or persons authorized by Gravotech may service the elements that constitute the marking
machine. Any intervention by unauthorized third party would exclude Gravotech's liability.
Laser radiation is invisible, but exposure, direct or scattered, is hazardous to skin and eyes.
Donotusethismarkingequipmentinanexplosiveenvironment.Noinammablematerialshouldbe

Safetyprecautions
The various optics included in this machine contain ZnSe (zinc selenide).
When handling the optics, protective gloves should be worn.
• Particularattentionisrequiredwhenhandling,xingandcleaningtheseelements.
• Donotapplyunevenpressure.
• Theentireopticalsystem(mirrorsandlenses)inthebeamguidingzonemustbecleanedregularly.
• Do not use hard objects or tools to clean the surface.
• Nevertouchtheopticswiththebarehands.
• Neverusethesamecleaningclothsmorethanonce.
• Discontinue the use of lenses showing signs of scratching or impact.
Dirtyopticsabsorbthelaserradiationandcanbedestroyedasaresult.Crackedordamageslensesrelease
particles which cause serious damage to health through inhalation or ingestion. This can cause irritation to the
eyes,skinandrespiratorytracts.
For information on rst aid measures and on handling scratched or cracked ZnSe lenses, refer to the
manufacturer's safety data sheets. By default, take the protective measures described in the paragraphs
below.

Deposits in the form of red or white powder and an unpleasant smell indicate that thermal decomposition of the

1. Assoonasanunpleasantsmellisdetected,switchothemachine.
2. Hold your breath.
3. Leave the vicinity of the machine.
4. Wait for at least 30 minute(s) for the chemical reaction to run its course.
5. Wear appropriate protective clothing (respiratory protection, safety glasses, protective clothing,
rubber or plastic gloves).
6. Ventilate the room.
7. Return to the machine, checking for any smells.
8. Remove all the fragments of the lens.
9. Avoid raising or dispersing dust.
Arrangements for disposal
The ZnSe dust and the lens must be collected and disposed of as hazardous waste.
They must be placed in hermetically sealed containers or plastic bags together with
the fragments, brush, shovel and protective clothing used in the operation.
Never dispose of optical components with household waste. And do not allow them to
enter drains or water circuits.
The equipment must be disposed of at an appropriate collection point for processing,
sorting, and recycling of Waste Electronic and Electrical Equipment (WEEE).
The removal of this waste must comply with the rules and laws in force within the
user's country.

5. Potentialhazardsrelatedtomaterialsworkedwith
Fumes and toxic particles
Laser marking certain materials emits dangerous fumes and particles
that may be toxic and/or damage the equipment. In this case, adapt an
extraction system (with ltration if necessary) to the marking station.
The user must check the compatibility of marked or engraved materials with the laser
type.
TheprocessingofpartsusingthistypeofLasercausesthermalandphoto-electric(molecular)deterioration
