qualifications of the personnel employed in each case, and the receipt of the instruction/Operation
Manual or the participation at introduction/training should be acknowledged in writing in each case.
Safety-conscious Working
The machine must only be operated by trained and authorized personnel.
The scopes of competence for the different activities in the scope of operating the machine must
be clearly defined and observed, so that under the aspect of safety no unclear questions of
competence occur. This applies in particular to activities on the electric equipment, which must
only be performed by special experts.
For all activities concerning installation, set-up, start-up, operation, modifications of conditions and
methods of operation, maintenance, inspection and repair, the switch-off procedures that may be
provided in the Operation Manual must be observed.
Safety Information for the User and/or Operating Personnel
No working methods are permitted that affect the safety of the machine.
The operator must also ensure that no unauthorized persons work with the machine (e.g. by
activating equipment without authorization).
It is the duty of the operator, to check the machine before start of work for externally visible
damage and defects, and to immediately report changes that appear (including behavior during
operation) that affect the safety.
The user must provide that the machine is only operated in perfect condition.
The user must guarantee the cleanness and accessibility at and around the machine by
corresponding instructions and controls.
Principally, no safety components may be removed or disabled (already here we emphasize the
imminent dangers, for example severe burns, loss of eye-sight). If the removal of safety
components is required during repair and service, the replacement of the safety components
must be performed immediately after completion of the service and repair activities.

SAFETY
14/10/2015 Trotec Laser GmbH 11 / 19
The following safety specifications must be observed:
Processing may only be carried out on a machine that has been properly
installed.
The system may only be used for processing of materials. Using the system in
other areas (e.g. for medical purposes) is absolutely forbidden and is
considered to be improper use. The manufacturer shall not be liable for any
resulting damages to persons or property and the warranty will be voided.
The laser beam may not be shut off by the user. This is to be done exclusively
by specially trained service personnel.
Direct contact of the laser beam with the skin or the eyes could cause serious
injuries.
The system may only be operated, serviced and repaired by personnel that
are familiar with the intended use and with the machine's potential risks.
The non-observance of the operating, maintenance and repair instructions
provided by the manufacturer in this operating manual shall exclude the
manufacturer from any liability in the case of malfunction.
The laser beam could ignite the material to be processed. For this reason, a
fire extinguisher should be placed in the direct vicinity of the SpeedMarker CL.
Flammable materials may not be placed in the direct vicinity of the
SpeedMarker CL.
Because of their low absorption of the laser beam, many materials such as
aluminium, copper, silver and gold may not be processed with the
SpeedMarker CL. Most of the laser beam's energy is reflected. Such materials
should also not be present in the area of the laser beam.
Should you have any additional questions, please contact your integrator or Trotec!

2.2 Laser Safety Information
To assess the potential dangers laser systems pose, they are classified into
5 safety classes: 1, 2, 3a, 3b and 4. Speedy 300 is a device of class 4 (USA:
Class IV). The safety is to be guaranteed through the Integrator.
This laser engraving system contains a Class 4 carbon dioxide (CO2) laser
that emits intensive and invisible laser radiation. Without protective gear,
direct radiation, diffusely reflected radiation, or even stray radiation could be
dangerous!
Anyone who is exposed to laser radiation without protective gear is subjected
to the following risks:
Eyes: Burns to the cornea
Skin: Burns
Clothing: Danger of fire
For this reason, never attempt to dismantle or rebuild the laser under any
circumstances, and do not attempt to operate a system that has been
dismantled or rebuilt!
If any operating or calibration devices other than the ones specified
here are used, or any other procedural methods are followed,
dangerous exposure to radiation could occur.
Service technicians are required to wear standard laser-safety goggles for
CO2lasers (wavelength 10.6 µm).

5 MAINTENANCE
5.1 Cleaning the System
Caution –use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other
than those specified herein may result in hazardous laser radiation exposure.
Before starting cleaning and maintenance work always switch off the device
and unplug the mains plug.
You should inspect at least once a day whether any dust has collected on the
focusing lens. Should there be any dust, the lens must be cleaned.
Cleaning intervals will greatly depend on the type of material that you are
working with, and on the length of use of the machine. Remember that a
clean, well maintained unit will provide the best performance and will
minimize service costs. If the laser beam passes through an unclean lens,
the lens can be easily damaged since the dust will most often absorb the
CO2laser's beam. A very dirty housing on an air-cooled laser will lead to
overheating and thus to the laser’s breakdown.
General cleaning:
1. Switch off the machine.
2. Clean the lens on the underside of the scanner.
3. Clean the housing for the laser source.
5.2 Cleaning the Optical Parts
Trotec recommends to use following cleaning material:
Lens tissues Part number 69249
Lens cleaner Part number 69248
The lens is of high quality and will not be damaged when cleaned carefully
and correctly.
Use each cleaning cloth one time only.
Cleaning instructions:
Use oil-free, water-free air pressure in order to remove all particulate from the surface
of the lens.
This guarantees that the lens will not be scratched during the subsequent cleaning with
cleaning cloths and fluid.
