2-Laser Protection
1、Laser Protection Requirements
You must wear the safety protective glasses while operating the laser, and
rationally select the safety protective glasses according to the lasing wavelength
of the laser. If the device is a tunable laser or Raman product, it emits light
over a range of wavelengths and the end user should conrm the laser safety
eyewear used protects against light emitted by the device over its entire range
of wavelength.
2、Laser Protective Equipment Suppliers
Maxphotonics recommends material or equipments provided by following laser
protective equipment suppliers for you, including LaserVision USA, Kentek
Corporation, Rochwell Laser Industries, etc. All the supplier information is
provided by Maxphotonics only for the convenience to use, so Maxphotonics
assumes no responsibility for any problem caused by using the products of
abovementioned suppliers.
NOTE :
◎Maxphotonics' MFSC 3000W (Chassis Type) Single Module CW Fiber Laser .
It may emit up to 3000W average power from 1060nm to 1100nm. This level
of light may cause damage to the eye and skin. Despite the radiation being
invisible, the beam may cause irreversible damage to the retina. Laser safety
eyewear is not provided with this instrument, but must be worn at all times while
the laser is operational.

Chapter 2 General Safety Information
4-General Safety Instructions
1、Specular Reflection
There are often numerous secondary laser beams produced at various angles
in the output port of the laser. These divergent beams are produced when the
primary beam of laser reects off a smooth surface, and they are called specular
reflections. Although these secondary beams may be less powerful than the
total power emitted from the primary beam, the intensity may be great enough to
cause damage to the eyes and skin as well as surface of materials.
WARNING:
◎You must exercise caution to avoid/minimize specular reflections as these
laser radiations are invisible!
2、Safety Instructions of Accessories
The photosensitive elements integrated in laser-related optical accessories may
be damaged by laser exposure, such as video cameras, photomultiplier tubes,
and photodiodes. Attention should be paid to related device protection.
WARNING:
◎The Maxphotonics MFSC laser light is strong enough to cut or weld metal,
burn skin, clothing and paint. In addition, this light can ignite volatile substances
such as alcohol, gasoline, ether and other solvents. During the operating
process, the ammable materials around the laser must be isolated.
3、Optical Operating Instructions
We strongly recommend that you read the following procedures before operating
the laser:

10 Chapter 2 General Safety Information
1、Never look directly into the laser output port when the power is turned on.
2、Avoid positioning the laser and all optical output components at eye level.
3、Equip with laser beam casing.
4、Remove the end-cover before switch ON the laser. Or else the output head
will be damaged irreversibly.
5、Ensure that all personal protective equipment is suitable for the output power
and wavelength range of the laser.
6、Use the laser in a room with access controlled by door interlocks. Post
warning signs. Limit the safety areas to operate the laser.
7、Please do not operate the laser in darkened environments.
8、Do not turn on the laser without an optical coupling ber or an optical output
connector.
9、Carry out commissioning, calibration and focusing at low output power and
then increase the output power gradually when the calibrating and focusing work
is done.
10、Do not install or detach cutting heads or collimators when the laser is active
11、Make sure that the laser is shut down and the power is off before you install
or detach cutting heads or collimators.
12、If the equipment is operated in a manner not specied in this document, the
protection devices and performance of the equipment may be impaired and the
warranty will be voided.
CAUTION:
◎The output of the laser is delivered through a lens with an anti-reflection
coating. If the backward-stage light path of your laser has the optical lens,
please strictly inspect the lens of the output head and the backward-stage lens
of the laser, and ensure that there is no dust and any other impurity on the lens.

11
Chapter 2 General Safety Information
Please note that any macroscopic attachment may cause extreme damage to
lens or burn the laser or any backward-stage light path equipment.
◎For cleaning instructions of the lens, please refer to the "Optical Fiber
Connector Inspection and Cleaning Guide".
◎Hot or molten pieces of metal may be produced when the laser is under
operation. Exercise caution if debris is produced in operation.
◎When you carry out commissioning and calibration of the laser output, you
must set the laser output at low power level and then gradually increase the
output power during checking the quality of the light spot emitted from the laser
via an infrared viewer.
WARNING:
◎Make sure that the individual protective equipment meets the output power
and wavelength range of the laser.
◎Never look directly into the optical ber or the collimator, and make sure you
wear the safety protective glasses in each operation.
4、Electrical Operating Instructions
We strongly recommend that you read the following procedures before operating
the laser:
1、Make sure the shell of this equipment is properly grounded. Any interruption
of the ground loop may result in personal injury.
2、Make sure the power source connecting equipment is properly grounded.
3、In order to further reduce re hazard, replace the line fuses (if applicable)
with the same types and ratings. The use of other fuses or material is prohibited.
4、Make sure that the input AC voltage of the laser is the voltage of the normal
AC mains (Three-phase four-wire 360-440VAC), and wires are connected
accurately. Any incorrect wiring method may cause damage to people or
instrument.

12 Chapter 2 General Safety Information
5、The equipment does not have any part which can be maintained by
operators, and all the maintenance operations must be finished by the
professionals of Maxphotonics Co., Ltd.
6、To prevent electrical shock, do not remove enclosure, detach the laser
without permission and damage the relevant signs. Any product with
unauthorized dismounting shall not be subject to warranty.
WARNING:
◎The input voltage of the laser is triple-phase AC current (360-440VAC), which
may cause risk of electric shock. All the relevant cables and connection wires
have potential hazards.
5、Environment Conditions and Precautions
For ensuring the safety of the laser working area, suitable enclosures shall
be applied, including but not limited the laser safety signs and the interlocking
devices. Corresponding operators must be trained and examined and know the
normal safety specications for operating the laser.
Meanwhile, it is important that the output components shall not be installed at
eye level.
Because of interaction of the laser and the metal material, the radiation of high-
level ultraviolet light or visible light may be produced. Make sure that the laser
is provided with the protective cover to prevent the eyes or other parts of human
bodies from damage by radiation.
We recommend that you comply with the following operating measures to
prolong the service life of the laser:
1、Do not expose the laser to a high moisture environment.
2、Operation at higher temperature will accelerate aging, increase threshold
current and lower slop efficiency. If the device is overheated, stop operations

13
Chapter 2 General Safety Information
and contact Maxphotonics.
3、Ensure that the work surface is properly vented. There may be gases, sparks
and debris generated from the interaction between the laser and the work
surface, and they could pose additional safety hazard.
CAUTION :
◎The device may be damaged with incautious operation.
◎If the laser is placed in an environment below 0°C, be sure to add a
corresponding antifreeze to the water tank of the chiller. If the machine is not
used for a long time, be sure to drain the water in the inlet and outlet channels
(high-pressure air gun is recommended) to prevent the residual water from
freezing and damaging the water-passing devices.
