Laser Safety
This device contains a sealed carbon dioxide (CO2) laser in a Class I enclosure that produces intense
invisible and visible laser radiation at a wavelength of 10.6 microns in the infrared spectrum. For your
protection, this enclosure is designed to completely contain the CO2 laser beam. Improper use of
controls and adjustments, or performance of procedures other than those specified, may invalidate the
safety of this system.
• The intense light that appears during the engraving or cutting process is the product of material
combustion or vaporization.
DO NOT STARE AT THE BRIGHT LIGHT OR VIEW DIRECTLY WITH
OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS.
• This device may contain a visible Red Dot Pointer (Class IIIa). DO NOT STARE AT THE RED LIGHT
OR VIEW DIRECTLY WITH OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS.
•
The user door(s) are safety interlocked and will disable the CO2 laser beam from firing when the user
door(s) are opened. The Red Dot Pointer is
NOT safety interlocked and can be activated with the
door(s) either open or closed.
• Do not operate any system that has had its safety features modified, disabled, or removed as this can
expose your eyes and skin to invisible and visible CO2 laser radiation which can cause permanent
blindness and/or severe burns to your skin.
Safety Labels
CDRH and CE regulations require that all laser manufacturers affix warning labels in specific locations
throughout the equipment. The following warning labels are placed on the laser system for your safety.
DO NOT remove them for any reason. If the labels become damaged or have been removed for any
reason,
DO NOT OPERATE the laser system and immediately contact Universal Laser Systems, Inc. for
a free replacement. Labels are NOT to scale.
