Hazard Information
Hazard information includes terms, symbols, and instructions used either in this manual
or on the equipment to alert both operating and service personnel to the recommended
precautions in the care, use, and handling of Class 4 laser equipment.
Terms
Certain terms are used throughout the manual or on the equipment labels. Please
familiarize yourself with their definitions and significance.
Danger Imminent hazards which, if not avoided, will result in death or
serious injury.
Warning Potential hazards which, if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.
Caution Potential hazards or unsafe practices which, if not avoided, may
result in minor or moderate injury.

General Hazards
Danger - Serious Personal Injury
This Class 4 laser product emits invisible infrared laser radiation at 10.6µm.
Do not allow laser radiation to enter the eye by viewing direct or reflected laser
energy. CO2 laser radiation can be reflected from metallic objects even though
the surface is darkened. Direct or diffuse laser radiation can inflict severe corneal
injuries leading to permanent eye damage or blindness. All personnel must wear
eye protection suitable for 10.6µm CO2 radiation when in the same area as an
exposed laser beam. Eyewear protects against scattered energy but is not
intended to protect against direct viewing of the beam.
Never look directly into the laser output aperture or view scattered laser
reflections from metallic surfaces even when wearing goggles. Instant blindness
can occur.
This laser presents a particular danger due to its very high power density. The
optical intensity at the output window is VERY high (>8500W/cm2).
Enclose the beam path whenever possible. Exposure to direct or diffuse CO2
laser radiation can seriously burn human or animal tissue, which may cause
permanent damage
This product is not intended for use in explosive, or potentially explosive,
atmospheres.
Warning –Serious Personal Injury
U.S. customers should refer to and follow the laser safety precaution described
in the American Nation Standards Institute (ANSI) Z136.1-2014 document, Safe
Use of Lasers. Procedures listed in this Standard include the appointment of a
Laser Safety Officer (LSO), Operation of the product in an area of limited access
by trained personnel, servicing of equipment only by trained and authorized
personnel, and posting of signs warning of the potential hazards.
European customers should appoint a Laser Safety Officer (LSO) who should
refer to and follow the laser safety precautions described in EN60825.1-2014
Safety of Laser Products.

Warning –Serious Personal Injury
Materials processing with a laser can generate air contaminates such as vapors,
fumes, and/or particles that may be noxious, toxic, or even fatal. Material Safety
Data Sheets (MSDS) for materials being processed should be thoroughly
evaluated and the adequacy of provisions for fume extraction, filtering, and
venting should be carefully considered. Review the following reference for
further information: ANSI Z136.1-2014, Safe Use of Lasers
Warning –Serious Personal Injury
The use of controls or adjustments, or performance of procedures other than
those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

Laser Safety
To prevent exposure to direct or scattered laser radiation, follow all safety precautions
specified throughout this manual and exercise safe operating practices per ANSI Z136.1-
2014 at all times when actively lasing.
Always wear approved Laser Safety glasses with a minimum OD (Optical Density) 4.494
for a wavelength of 10.6µm.
A CO2laser is capable of igniting most materials under the proper conditions. Never
operate the laser in the presence of flammable or explosive materials, gases, liquids, or
vapors.
Other Hazards
The following hazards are typical for this product family when incorporated for intended
use: (A) risk of injury when lifting or moving the unit; (B) risk of exposure to hazardous
laser energy through unauthorized removal of access panels, doors, or protective
barriers; (C) risk of exposure to hazardous laser energy and injury due to failure of
personnel to use proper eye protection and/or failure to adhere to applicable laser safety
procedures; (D) risk of exposure to hazardous or lethal voltages through unauthorized
removal of covers, doors, or access panels; (E) risk of exposure and/or interference from
radio-frequency (RF) electro-magnetic energy through unauthorized removal of covers,
doors, or access panels; (F) generation of hazardous air contaminants that may be
noxious, toxic, or even fatal.
