3 Safety
TO AVOID POSSIBLE HARM READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
The machine is built at the time of it's development and production according to applicable, established technical rules
and is considered to be safe to operate.
Dangers can be caused by the machine if the machine:
•is operated by unqualified personnel,
•the personnel have not been trained,
•the machine is used improperly or not as intended,
•or if the machine is used for other intended purposes.
This chapter provides an overview of all important safety aspects that are necessary for optimum protection of persons
and safe and trouble-free operation of the machine. Other chapters of this manual contain specific safety notes for the
avoidance and prevention of hazards.
3.1 General safety notes
GENERAL SAFETY NOTES:
•Only trained persons may perform activities on the machine.
•Safety devices, protective devices and machine parts must be present and must not be bridged. Faultless and
intended function must be ensured.
•Work and control of the machine only by persons with sufficient knowledge of the function of the machine (applies
especially to service operation).
•Never leave the machine unattended during operation. When the machine is not in use, turn off the main switch.
•Replace detached or damaged machine signage immediately.
•In the event of an unmanageable malfunction, switch off the machine and contact technical support in order not to
damage the machine.
•The use of inferior spare parts or third-party components impairs the safety of the machine and renders the
declaration of conformity (CE) supplied invalid.
•Protective equipment:
Wear suitable work clothing and protective goggles matched to the laser (laser class 4).
•Exhaust system:
Use suitable extraction equipment, as gases, fumes and other partially toxic by-products may be generated.
•Materials:
Select suitable parameters for the corresponding material. Safely extract dusts so that no detectable residues or
residues can collect in the work area.
13

Safety
3.1.1 Intended use
The SpeedMarker 1300 is a Class 2 laser marker as per DIN EN 60825-1 "Safety of laser products". It is intended for
integration in systems and lines.
The product is intended exclusively for laser marking using the supplied marking soware.
The following points should also be observed as part of the intended use:
Notice
–Only mark approved materials using suitable parameters.
–Perform maintenance and service according to the specifications in this operating manual.
–Use a suitable extraction system to remove fumes, dust or other reaction products.
–The machine may only be operated by suitably trained individuals.
–Observe effective safety regulations and the procedures described in this operating manual.
If the intention is to use the system for other applications, Trotec Laser GmbH should be informed in advance.
3.1.2 Improper use
Use of the machine for any purposes other than those intended or described in the present manual is regarded as
improper and therefore prohibited. Trotec Laser GmbH will not accept any liability for damage caused by improper use.
The operator is solely liable for all damages caused by improper use.
Non-observance of the operation, maintenance and service instructions described within this manual absolves Trotec
from any liability in case of a defect.
3.1.3 Residual risk
Even if all safety regulations are observed, a residual risk remains when operating the machine.
3.1.4 Machine modification
It is strictly prohibited to alter, refit or modify the machine in any way without the express consent of the manufacturer.
Likewise, it is strictly prohibited to remove, bridge or bypass any safety devices. Operating conditions and connection
and setup values stated in the data sheet must be complied with at all times.
Operation of the system is permitted only with original parts and accessories by the manufacturer. Use of third-party
parts affects machine safety.
14

Safety
3.1.5 Operating modes
NORMAL OPERATION
For normal operation the following conditions must be met:
•Intended use of the machine (see chapter "Intended use").
•Operation of the machine only by trained personnel.
•Full functional and mounted safety devices.
•Machine must be in technically flawless condition.
•Processing of permissible materials according to the material list.
•Maintenance and service are not included.
Notice
During normal operation it is not necessary to wear safety glasses.
SERVICE OPERATION
Service activities may be carried out only by authorized, trained service technicians. If side panels as well as covers get
removed and safety devices get bypassed, it can lead to direct and indirect scattered radiation. The service operation is
therefore declared as laser class 4 (US: class IV) and proper precautions need to be taken (see "Laser classification").
3.1.6 Applicable safety regulations
The following directives and guidelines must be observed to avoid hazards when operating Trotec laser systems:

Notice
Safety norms and regulations.
The general guidelines and directives listed within this manual may differ according to locality, region or
country.
Therefore, always observe the directives as well as the regulations of the institutions for statutory accident
insurance association applicable to you. The operator is responsible for fulfilling all safety requirements,
as Trotec Laser GmbH has no influence on the proper use of the machine.
Observe the official regulations for your business location in accordance with the applicable local legal
regulations (on accident prevention regulations or employee protection), e.g. DGUV regulation 11 for
Germany.
3.2 Laser safety
3.2.1 Laser classification
The laser safety class indicates the risk potential from accessible laser radiation.
The laser system is a Class 2 (US: Class II) laser marking system as per IEC 60825-1 "Safety of Laser Product".
The integrated laser source is a Class 4 (US: Class IV) laser marking system according to IEC 60825-1 and identified as
such.
Class 2 (US: class II)
The accessible laser radiation of Class 2 (US: Class II) laser systems does not pose any hazard for the skin. Diffuse
reflections as well as any short-term irradiation of the eyes (exposure time max. 0.25 seconds) also pose no risk due to
the low output power. However, it is possible to suppress the natural eyelid closure reflex and stare into the class-2 laser
beam for a time long enough for the eyes to get injured.
Warning Laser
Laser radiation of Class 2 (US: class II)
For Class 2 (US: class II) laser is short term exposure (up to 0.25 seconds) harmless to the eyes and can
therefore be operated without additional protective measures. However it can cause irritation of the
eyes if the natural avoidance reaction (staring into the laser beam deliberately) or eyelid closure reflex is
suppressed.
–Do not suppress the eyelid closure reflex.
–Do not stare directly into the laser beam.
–Close eyes, turn away.
–Never look at the laser beam directly with an optical instrument, e.g. a lens.
16

Safety
