2.Precautions of use
2.1.Designated use
The GraphiX marking machine is used for marking on metals. Many metals will show interaction with the laser eam.
However, very clean metallic surfaces which are highly polished cold show no reaction to the laser eam. This is due
to too high reflectivity from the material for the kind of laser eam used.
Furthermore, the reflectivity can cause damages on the elements inside the marking head. Consequently, the marking
on too rilliant or polished parts is to e anned.
The machine also allows the marking of some plastic parts. You can contact Technomark for check on your samples
materials.
2.2.Disposal remarks
Do not dispose the machine with domestic waste.
Electronic devices have to e disposed according to the country directives on waste disposal.
In case of further questions, please ask to Technomark.

4.2.Laser safety
The GRAPHIX LMG0-E10, GRAPHIX LMG0-E20, GRAPHIX LMG0-E30 and GRAPHIX LMG0-E50 are Class I laser products
that do not permit access to levels of laser radiation in excess of Class 1 accessi le emission limits (AEL) during
operation. Class 1 lasers are considered to e incapa le of producing damaging radiation levels during operation and
are exempt from any control measures.
The GRAPHIX LMG0-E10, GRAPHIX LMG0-E20, GRAPHIX LMG0-E30 and GRAPHIX LMG0-E50 do however contain an
em edded Class 4 laser that performs the intended marking of various su strate materials. The em edded Class 4
laser emits near IR laser radiation (invisi le) that is contained within the interlocked protective housing. A Class 4 laser
system is a hazard to the eye or skin from the direct eam; may pose a fire hazard or diffuse reflection hazard and may
also produce laser generated air contaminants (LGAC) and hazardous plasma radiation.
The GRAPHIX LMG0-E10, GRAPHIX LMG0-E20, GRAPHIX LMG0-E30 and GRAPHIX LMG0-E50 shall not e modified in
any way or operated with any portions of the laser protective housing open and/or removed as this will create a
hazardous condition.
4.2.1. Laser risks
Every ody works on our GraphiX machine should e trained in the use of the product.
The same people must e also formed at the laser risks in general.
The particular use of enclosures on the machine contri utes to it eing a class 1 laser.
Do not operate the laser marking head outside the class 1 laser protective enclosure.
4.2.2. Fire risks
When one work of inflamma le materials, as for example the plastic, there is a fire risk. It is essential to watch
the marking during all the process and to stop the cycle in case of emergency.
It is formally for idden to mark organic, extremely flamma le (Example: wood, paper, textile, …)
Do not expose to radiation materials other than those for which the marking system was designed.

4.2.3. Electrical risks
Electricity can kill.
Fatal injuries can occur when the manufacturer's warnings and procedures are not followed. Persons who are not
authorised or trained should never e allowed to do work on electrical parts of the machine. Safety devices should
never e removed and they should e checked regularly to make sure that they are operating correctly.
Inexperienced personnel should never e allowed to work on the electrical part of the machine. Do not remove
protective guards.
4.2.4. Residuals ha ards
The reaction etween the material and the eam causes a heating of the material. For long markings, and according
to the material, the marked part can e hot.
Use safety gloves to treat parts after marking, if necessary.
Properly speaking, the machine does not produce any gases or hazardous vapours. However, depending on the
material eing marked, the process can produce, micro-particles, dust, fumes and vapour which can e irritating or
toxic if they are not evacuated and filtered in a adequate way efore eing again rejected in the air
The evacuation and the treatment of these dusts are of the responsi ility of the user.
If you have our optional extraction system, such fumes are removed and treated y the extraction unit.
This equipment should e kept in working order in accordance with the supplier's recommendations and undergo
maintenance as often as necessary. (See manufacturer's documentation)
Cleaning of the machine must e scrupulously made to eliminate the residues of dusts ound to the markings.
See paragraph 12. Maintenance and routine care
