Cautions on Laser Products
CAUTIONS
The control and operation of the laser
generator (CLASS 4) in a way other than its
intended purpose may result in the
exposure of dangerous laser radiation.
Be careful that if a body part (e.g., eyes, skin,
etc.) is exposed to such laser radiation, you
could suffer from serious damage.
The front part of the head has a shield (L100:
1,064nm or higher wavelength, 6 or higher
optical density). Do NEVER expose yourself
to laser radiation with the shield cover
removed or open. Make sure that you are not
exposed to the laser even through such
shield. Otherwise, it may result in blindness.
Do not stare at the specular/diffuse
reflection of laser. It may result in blindness.
Make sure that your body part is not in the
operating range. It may result in skin damage
such as burn.
Do not use the product for purposes other
than those intended.
Otherwise, you could be damaged by laser
radiation.
Appoint a laser safety manager and have him
keep monitoring a laser risk and fully
understand safety measures. According to
each country’s laws, the safety measures for
the class-4 laser system are mandatory.
If you wear a pacemaker, do not come near
the product or work area.
It generates electromagnetic waves and can
cause malfunction to the heart rhythm
device.
Do NEVER dismantle or remodel the product
randomly.
Otherwise, you could be exposed to laser
radiation and suffer from eye/skin damage.
In addition, exposure to a high-voltage part
can result in an electric shock.
Make sure that you have a system which
emits the dust and haze which are
generated during operation. The warranty
does not cover the system damage or failure
resulting from corrosive haze.
During product maintenance and control,
make sure that the laser radiation is stopped,
and safety goggles are put on. The eye/skin
exposure to laser radiation can result in
serious damage.
If any defect is found, do not use the
product and contact the Service Center
([phone]).

* For safe operations (Laser Class 1 Safety),
Stay alert all the time when using the laser system.*
Laser generator specifications
This product uses laser generator. In accordance with IEC60825-1, JIS C6802 and FDA(CDRH) Part 1040.10,
CLASS 4 was adopted.
- CLASS 4: Approach to laser is very dangerous to the eyes and skin. An emitting laser may cause
fire or explosion.

In addition, it is available as a guide laser to handle the red laser ‘CLASS 3R’.
- CLASS 3R: The approach to laser within visible spectrum (400-700nm) and 1mW or below is conditionally
permitted. Exposure up to 0.25 second is okay for the eyes. However, laser approach can be
dangerous.

Laser Range
If a body part or flammable material comes into the range of laser radiation, it may result in eye/skin
damage or fire. Cover it with a proper shield which has decent reflection and thermal properties considering
the risk of such range.
