This laser marker falls into Class 4 laser (marking laser) and Class 2 laser (guide laser) based on the classications 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 before using the system. Refer to Safety / Setup / Maintenance Guide for details.
DANGER
Never look at laser beam directly, through lens or through any other optical components.
Laser beam radiation into the eye causes blindness or serious damage to the eye.
Not only the direct beam of laser, but also diffused reected beam is harmful.
Never touch laser beam and avoid human skin, clothing and any other ammable object from laser beam
exposure directly.
Burning into deep skin might result and there is a risk of re.
WARNING
Never disassemble the product.
Doing so may cause exposure to the laser beam or electric shock.
Take laser protection measures required to use Class 4 laser products subject to the local laws and
regulations of the country or region in which the laser marker is used.
Refer to Safety / Setup / Maintenance Guide for details.
To protect the operators’ eyes, make it mandatory to wear goggles against laser beam within the laser
controlled area. The protective goggles can momentarily protect the eyes against the scattered beam. Never
look at the direct beam or reected beam even when you are wearing the protective goggles.
In order to prevent unexpected exposures from object to be marked or its peripherals, set protective enclosure
with proper reectance, durability and thermal resistance to enclose the laser radiation area.
Construct an interlock systems such as a function to stop laser radiation for the maintenance door of the
protective enclosure.
Read all packaged guides and manuals thoroughly, and do not operate, install and connect the laser marker
with any other methods except the instructions provided in the manuals.
If the product is used in a manner not specied by the instruction, the safety protection and functions provided
by the device may be impaired and it may cause injury, electrical shock or exposure of laser beam.
Remove the dust and/or gas which may be generated during the laser radiation with dust collector or
exhauster. Use an appropriate dust collector or exhauster for dust or gas generated.
Depending on the material of the objects, harmful dust and/or gas to the human body and the laser marker
may be generated.
Prior to wiring, cable connecting and/or maintenance work, ensure that all the power switches are turned off.
Otherwise, electrical shock may result.
Connect ground wire before using.
A failure or leak that occurs when the unit is not properly grounded may result in electric shock.
