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 :
◎This device is classified as a high power Class IV laser instrument. It may
emit up to 1000X 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.

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.

12
Chapter 2 General Safety Information
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 flammable materials around the laser must be isolated.
3.Optical Operating Instructions
We strongly recommend that you read the following procedures before
operating the laser:
（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 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 laser in darkened environments.
（8）Do not turn on the laser without an optical coupling fiber or the optical
output connector.
（9）Do not install or detach cutting heads or collimators when laser is active.
（10）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.

13
Chapter 2 General Safety
Information
（11）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.
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 implement commissioning and calibration of laser output, it’s necessary
to set the quality of the spot emitted from the laser at low power levels via an
infrared viewer, and then gradually increase the output power.
WARNING :
◎Make sure that the individual protective equipment meets the output power
and wavelength range of the laser.
◎Never look directly into the optical fiber 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) Please ensure that the equipment casing is well grounded, and any
interruption in the grounding circuit may cause personal injury;

14
Chapter 2 General Safety Information
(2) The power supply connected to the equipment, please make sure that the
protection ground is connected before use;
(3) In order to reduce the risk of fire, the line fuses can only be replaced by the
same type and the same level if necessary, and cannot be replaced by other
fuses or materials;
(4) Ensure that the laser input AC voltage is the normal AC mains voltage
(Single-phase alternating current 200-240VAC-1000X; single-phase alternating
current 200-240VAC-1500X; three-phase alternating current 360-440VAC-
1500X optional), and the wiring is correct. Any wrong wiring method may cause
personal or equipment damage;
(5) There are no parts, components or components that the user needs to
repair by himself. All maintenance work needs to be done by Chuangxin laser
professionals;
(6) Do not remove the casing, disassemble the laser and damage related labels,
there is a risk of electric shock or burns;
(7) Any product that has been disassembled and disassembled will no longer
enjoy warranty rights.
WARNING :
◎The input voltage of the laser is (Single-phase alternating current
200-240VAC-1000X; single-phase alternating current 200-240VAC-1500X;
three-phase alternating current 360-440VAC-1500X optional), there is a
danger of electric shock. All related cables and connecting 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

15
Chapter 2 General Safety
Information
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) Please ensure that the working area is properly ventilated and the laser is
placed in a cabinet with temperature and humidity control and dustproof function.
Do not expose the laser to high temperature and high humidity.
(2) Operating the equipment at high temperatures accelerates aging, increases
current thresholds, and reduces laser sensitivity and conversion efficiency. If
the device is overheated, please stop using it and ask for help from Chuangxin
Laser.
Caution:
◎Please operate the equipment carefully to avoid accidental damage to the
equipment.
◎If the laser is placed in an environment below 0 °C, be sure to add the
corresponding antifreeze to the water cooler. If the machine is not used for a
long time, be sure to drain the water in the water inlet and outlet (high-pressure
air gun is recommended) to prevent the residual water from freezing and
damaging the water-passing device.
