Guidelines for Normal Use
1. Appoint a Laser Safety supervisor. Ensure that the supervisor has as much expertise and experience
with lasers and laser equipment as possible.
The supervisor, who will be in charge of the laser key switch, is responsible for familiarizing users
with safety issues and for coordinating laser welding.
2. Partition off all areas that may be exposed to laser light.
The supervisor is responsible for posting signs to keep unauthorized personnel out of the laser area.
3. Install the Tube Cutter on a solid, level surface.
To prevent errant laser processing, place workpieces on the same stand as the Laser Head so
that the workpieces do not vibrate during laser processing.
4. To ensure optimal welding quality, use the Tube Cutter in a location where ambient temperatures
are 41ºF to 105ºF (5°C to 40°C), free of sudden temperature fluctuations and a relative humidity
less than 85% (non-condensing). Do not use the Tube Cutter in any of the following locations:
Locations with excessive dirt or oil mist
Locations in which the unit may be subject to vibration or impact
Locations in which the unit may be exposed to chemicals
Locations near sources of high-frequency noise, or
Locations in which condensation may form on the unit's surface.
5. If the room temperature changes quickly (as when a heater is turned ON in cold weather), moisture
may condense on the optical components, resulting in fogging or collection of dust.
Avoid sudden changes in temperature. Under the conditions in which condensation may occur, wait
for a period of time after turning the unit ON before beginning operations.
6. If the exterior of the unit becomes soiled, wipe it with a soft dry or lightly moistened cloth.
Clean heavily soiled areas with a cloth moistened with diluted neutral detergent or alcohol. Do not
use paint thinner, acetone, benzene, or similar chemicals, which may discolor or damage the unit.
7. Never place screws or other foreign objects inside the Tube Cutter. Such objects can damage the
unit.
8. Operate the switches and buttons gently by hand.
Applying excessive force or using the tip of a screwdriver, pen, or other instrument may damage the
Tube Cutter.
9. Operate only one switch or button at a time.
Attempting to operate several at a time may damage the Tube Cutter.
