KEYENCE LS-5000 - Manual (Page 10)

Follow the safety precautions below to ensure operator safety:
•
Operate the LS-5000 series only according to the procedures described in
this instruction manual.
Otherwise, injury may occur due to exposure to the laser beam.
• Do not disassemble the scanning head.
Laser emission from the LS-5000 series is not automatically stopped if the
scanning head is disassembled. If you disassemble the scanning head for
inspection or repair, you may be exposed to the laser beam. If the LS-5000
series malfunctions, contact KEYENCE immediately.
• Do not look directly into the laser beam.
Looking directly into the laser beam may result in serious eye injury.
• Protective enclosure
We recommend that you install a protective enclosure around the scanning
head to prevent any person from getting near the scanning head during opera-
tion.
• Protective goggles
We recommend that you wear protective goggles when using the LS-5000
series.
• You must stop all laser emissions before cleaning the laser aperture. Otherwise,
you may be exposed to the laser beam.
• Be aware of the optical axis of the laser beam.
If you may be exposed to a specularly-reflected or diffused laser beam, provide
an enclosure with reflectivity and thermal characteristics adequate to interrupt
the laser beam.
Install the LS-5041 so that the optical axis of the laser beam will not be at the
same height as your eyes when operating the LS-5000 series.
