Company Prole
Found in 2004, Maxphotonics is one of the first fiber laser manufacturers in
China. It is also the first in China to realize independent intellectual property
rights and vertical integration in the core technologies of ber lasers and optical
devices. One of the national high-tech enterprises. Maxphotonics has developed
into an internationally renowned laser manufacturer that develops, manufactures
and sells fiber lasers and core optical components. It is the second largest
domestic ber laser manufacturer in the domestic market.
Maxphotonics specializes in the research, development, production and
sales of ber lasers, including pulsed ber lasers, continuous ber lasers and
direct semiconductor lasers. It also implements pump sources, combiners,
fiber gratings, isolators, laser output heads, and stripping. Optical devices
such as molds, acousto-optic modulators, and pattern matchers are produced
autonomously. Products are widely used in marking, engraving, cutting,
drilling, cladding, welding, surface treatment, rapid prototyping and additive
manufacturing processes.

All safety warning symbols during operating process of the laser include:
SYMBOLS DESCRIPTION
WARNING: Refers to a potential Electrical Hazard to
human body. It requires a procedure that, if not correctly
followed, may result in bodily harm to you and/or others.
Do not proceed beyond the WARNING sign until you
completely understand and meet the required conditions.
CAUTION：Refers to a potential hazard on product. It
requires a procedure that, if not correctly followed, may
result in damage to the product or components. In order
to ensure normal use of equipment, do not violate the
requirement of the CAUTION sign.
WARNING:Refers to a potential Laser Hazard.The symbol
represents laser radiation. The symbol is pasted on laser
output end.
NO SYMBOL
IMPORTANT：Refers to any information regarding the
operation of the product. Please do not overlook this
information.

Chapter 2 General Safety Information
NOTE :
◎ This device is classified as a high power Class IV laser instrument. It
may emit up to 20W average power near 1060nm wavelength. 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. Use appropriate laser safety
eyewear when operating this device. The manufacturer of the laser system
is responsible for the safety compliance according to the applicable
standards and regulations.
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.

3-General Safety Instructions
In order to ensure the safe operation and optimal performance of the
product, please follow these warning and cautions in additionto the other
contained elsewhere in this document.
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
WARNING :
◎This device has an output optical head connected to the laser with a fiber
cable. Please, be careful dealing with the output head.
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.Ensure that all personal protective equipment is suitable for the output power

Chapter 2 General Safety Information
and wavelength range of the l aser.
4.Do not install collimators when the laser is active.
5.It is forbidden to turn on the laser during the mounting of ber or cutting head.
6.For collimated outputs, maintaining a clean output lens is essential. Always
close (re-cap) the collimator after use. Do not touch the output lens and do not
clean it with any solvents. Cleaning with the special solvent and cleaning buds is
allowed as described later on in th is manual.
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 Use appropriate
laser safety eyewear when operating this device.
◎Optical damage may result from failure to comply with the above instructions.
Such damage is not covered by the warranty.
CAUTION:
◎Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
set forth in this User’s Guide and related documents may result in hazardous
radiation exposure.
4.Operation Environment Requirements
We strongly recommend that you read the following procedures before operating
the laser:
1.Do not expose the device to a high moisture/high temperature environment .
Install the laser in the cabinet with the function of temperature-humidity control

10 Chapter 2 General Safety Information
and dust-free.
2.Before switching on the device make sure that environmental temperature and
humidity are within a specied range.
WARNING:
◎Optical damage may result from failure to comply with the above instructions.
Such damage is not covered by the warranty.
1.Avoid the impaction on the shipper rod of worktable when the laser is working.
2.The laser and optical lens are fragile, please handle with care.
3.Stop running once device failure, and provide professional treatment.
4.Please follow a set sequence of on-off.
5.The limitation on surface of marking machine is within the working area.
6.Keep the device clean and indoor.
