A. Foreword
1. Appreciation
ThankyouforchoosingLW2-Gravotech.
Gravotech is pleased to count you among the users of its engraving and traceability solutions.
For help, contact Gravotech.
For more information on products, visit www.gravotech.com website.
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.

G.Laser safety
1. Recommendations and safety regarding laser devices
Personnel safety
Class 4 laser device designed for integration - See declaration of compliance.
Ifthemachineisbeingintegrated,theinstallerisresponsibleforensuringthenalequipmentconforms
to current legislation. Observe EN 60825-1 standard concerning the controls and signage (access
panels,doors,emergencystops...).Example:applicationofsafetypictograms,installationofsuitable
guards, use of the electrical safety channel provided on the equipment (non-exhaustive list).
The area in which the machine is used must be limited to authorized and protected personnel only. 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.
Operators and service personnel must receive laser safety training. Carefully read the "Laser Safety"
chapter. For help, contact Gravotech.
Laser radiation is invisible, but exposure, direct or scattered, is hazardous to skin and eyes.
Do not use this marking equipment in an explosive environment. No inammable material is to be
closetothereectedbeam(i.e:operator'sshirt,curtains,wallcoveringinnon-syntheticmaterial:re
hazard). For safety reasons, never operate the machine without constant surveillance.
Theoperatorisnottowearreectiveobjectsonhis/herarms/hands(i.e:jewelry).Markingreective
materials (those with a copper, gold or silver base) or materials with a polished surface represents a
hazard both for the operator and the machine.
This machine is equipped with a class 4 laser source. This laser can produce dangerous diuse

Regulation in the restricted area
Access to the restricted laser area is regulated. Only competent personnel having attended proper training can
remain during the operation: this implies medical aptitude and laser safety training.
Any person authorized access to the restricted area is to observe the rules provided by the employer.
(1)Tobelledinorcrossedout.
General Instructions
• Avoid any exposure to laser radiation.
• Do not put hands or an object in the laser beam's trajectory.
• Never stare into the primary laser beam.
• Avoid direct eye exposure to diode laser beam.
• Do not direct the beam towards other persons, openings or windows.
• Do not remove protection hoods or short-circuit the securities.
• Electrical interventions on the system can only be carried out by competent
LT/HT personnel.
• In the event of an incident or even doubts concerning the functioning of the
installation, inform the person in charge of laser safety.
Wearing safety glasses
Under normal conditions of use, the machine operates at Class 1 - 2M: protective goggles are not necessary.
Laser radiation safety glasses are mandatory whenever in an area where laser radiation emission exceeds
class 3B AEL.
As a user, it is mandatory to declare the use of class 4 laser station to current authorities and to follow their
safety recommendations.

Fumes and toxic particles
Laser marking certain materials emits dangerous fumes and particles that may be
toxicand/ordamagetheequipment.
Inthiscase,adapt anextractionsystem (withltrationifnecessary) tothemarking
station.
The processing of parts using this type of Laser causes thermal and photo-electric (molecular) deterioration
ofthematerial.Evenmicro-quantitiesoftheby-product(sootorfumes),createdduringLasermarking,may
accumulate over a long period. Some of these by-products may prove to be hazardous to humans.
Healthside-eectstotheoperatorsmayincludepoisoning,allergiesorcancer.Herearesomeexamplesof
the most sensitive materials:
• plastics and rubber
• painted materials
• anodized and galvanized metals
• ceramics
• materials containing lead or mercury
Foramoredetailedlistoftherisksrelatedtothematerialworkedwith,consultAnnexAoftheISO11553-1:2005
standard.
In this case, adapt an extraction system (with ltration if necessary) to the marking station. This system
