(IEC60825-1).
Perform the safety protection measure before using the system. Refer to "Safety Protection Measures" (P.9) for
details.
This product refers to “a product which may cause injury to a human if exposed to its directly radiated light,
even it is reflecting light and diffused reflecting light, or which may produce a risk of a fire”.
Radiation information
* MPE means the assumed exposure duration for determination of the value. The value colculated on 10 seconds.

Never look at laser beam directly or through
lens. Diffused reflected beam is also harmful.
CO2laser does not enter into eye's retina,
however, if it exposed to the eyes, it can
inflict severe corneal injuries.
Wear laser protective goggles for operator's eyes. The
goggles should be used against scattered beam, so avoid
to direct beam or reflection beam. (Do not look laser
beam during guide indication even when laser pumping
switch is turned off.)
In order to prevent unexpected exposures from object to
be marked or its peripherals, set protective enclosure
which is made of acrylic resin, glass, or metal to enclose
the laser radiation area .
Never touch laser beam.
Avoid human skin exposure directly to laser beam.
Burning into deep skin might result. Be careful not to
touch laser beam with clothing as well.
When using the system, do not touch laser beam with human
body, papers, or clothing, etc.
Never disassemble the product.
Exposure of laser beam or electric shock might occur.
In the event a failure occurs in the system, contact us..
Read this manual thoroughly, and do not operate any
other methods except the instructions provided in this
manual.
Exposure of laser beam might occur.

Safety Protection Measures
This product falls into Class 4 laser (marking laser) and Class 2 laser (guide laser) based on the classifica-
tions of the Safety of laser products (JIS C 6802) / FDA standards 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11/IEC60825-1.
Perform the safety protection measure shown below before using the system.
For more detail instruction, refer to each of the standard.
1. Interlock system
In order to prevent exposure to laser beam accidentally reflected from the substrate to be marked or from its
circumferential areas, place a protective enclosure so that it can enclose the area in the range of laser
radiation, and construct the interlock mechanism in the system.
Additionally, install the control part that is not to exposure to the laser beam. Refer to "Construction of
Interlock System"(P.16).
2. Wearing protective goggles
For protection eyes of an operator, make it mandatory to wear goggles against laser beam.
Purchase the proper type of the protective goggles in consideration of the wave length (Refer to " Caution in
Handling Laser Beam" (P.6), working environment, etc.
3. Protective enclosure
In order to prevent exposure to laser beam accidentally reflected from the substrate to be marked or from its
circumferential areas, place a protective enclosure so that it can enclose the area in the range of laser
radiation.
i.e., please made from acrylic resins, glass, metals, etc.
It is, however, recommended that the thickness of an acrylic or glass plate is more than 3 mm and that the
plate has a color to prevent secondary radiation beam.
4. Key control
In order to avoid the operation of the system by the person without authorizatio and allowance, the laser
safety manager must remove key and keep it when not in use.
5. Power failure recovery
When power failure occurs on the laser marker, construct a laser re-pumping system by manual operation for
safety.
6. Radiation direction of laser beam
To assure safety, be sure to place the protective enclosure. Measures should be taken so that the direction of
laser radiation can be seen and checked by others as well as an operator. (Labels of cautions, instructions,
and open indication are adhered to the system at delivery from the plant. Do not peel them off.)
For laser pumping is shut-off by interlock system, construct a laser re-pumping system by manual
operation for safety.
It is obligated by IEC/FDA/JIS that laser products shall incorporate a key-actuated master control.
Actuation of Our laser marker is basically controlled by the key switch located on the front of the
contloller box. However, in considering situations when the laser marker is operating as a part of a
larger system, the laser marker turns on if the key swith is already in ON position, and power is
supplied.
In this case, be sure that the external system controls the operation of the laser marker with a
key-actuated master control.
CAUTION
CAUTION

7. Termination of laser beam
High output laser is used for marking taking into consideration a case where there is no substrate in a laser
path, terminate a laser beam path within the marking range by using a flame-resistant object.
Do not use the laser for the end edge of the specular reflexion.
8. Path of laser beam
It is recommended that laser beam passes through the position being either lower than eye-level at the time of
human’s sitting or being higher than eye-level at the time of human’s standing.
9. Illumination
Make the area surrounding the laser marker well-lighted as much as possible. Because the pupils are
contracted in the well-lit place, your eyes can be well protected.
Do not expose strong beam to the laser radiation exit. Failure to do so could cause the malfunction of the
power check monitor.
10.Protective clothing
Exposure of the skin to the laser beam may cause a skin burn. Exposure of the clothing to the laser beam
may cause burning as well. Wear the clothing which can minimize the exposure of the skin to the laser and
which is flame-resistant.
11.Appointment of laser safety manager
By appointing a laser safety officer, ensure that the laser product is handled safety.
Items that the laser safety officer has to manage and execute are as follows:
1. Implementation of countermeasure against the prevention of disability from laser beam
