The machine uses a Class IV laser. Any adjustments made on the control and/or operation of the laser (apart from its intended purpose) may result in laser accidents or exposure to hazardous radiation. Direct exposure to laser radiation may cause serious eye injuries and skin burns. Class IV lasers pose the highest risk of injury not only from direct or reflected exposure but also from scattered radiation. These lasers can cause severe damage to the eyes and skin and can ignite flammable materials. Operators must: Contain all radiation and ensure it is eliminated after operation Be informed of laser exposure risks Wear certified PPE including laser-protective goggles Never directly expose yourself to laser radiation. Do not stare at reflected beams without certified PPE. This can result in blindness. |

Never directly expose yourself to laser radiation. Do not stare at the reflected beams without wearing any PPEs or safety goggles. Failure to do so can result in blindness. Class IV laser is considered powerful as it has highly collimated, monochromatic light sources. In other words, Class IV laser beam has a very bright “point source” with a power density that is dangerously high for the retina. On the other hand, the laser beam’s power density becomes less dangerous if it diffuses and scatters onto a non-reflective screen. Therefore, different types of radiation viewing conditions can be distinguished depending on the approach to the radiation itself and the different degrees of risk accompanied by it. ● Direct viewing of the laser beam Direct viewing of the laser beam after removing the lenses is highly dangerous. This type of viewing is considered the most dangerous and must be avoided in every way! No protective goggles can provide immediate protection if the beam is viewed directly. ● Direct viewing of the beam after mirror reflection Direct viewing of the beam after mirror reflection is as dangerous as direct viewing of the laser beam after removing the lenses. Do not directly view the beam reflected from a mirror as the beam strikes on a reflective surface. ● Direct viewing of the beam at the output of an Optical fiber Beam connected from resonator to Optical fiber. Viewing the beam up to a significant distance is dangerous. Filters and goggles cannot guarantee safety. ● Viewing the beam directly after focusing This occurs if the laser beam is not extinguished on a suitable absorber at the end of its useful path. Viewing the beam is dangerous up to a significant distance. Filters and protective goggles can guarantee safety for brief exposure, as long as they are the right size and certified. ● Scattered viewing of the Laser beam after focusing This is the most common viewing condition for equipment in an operative setting. Viewing the beam is not dangerous if not at a short distance, but adequate filters and Goggles can guarantee safety, even for long exposure. |

Do not look at specular or diffuse reflections – they can still cause blindness. Radiation in the far-infrared range may be invisible yet highly damaging. Radiation is invisible however; being close to the visibility threshold causes the eye to receive it almost entirely with no pupillary reflex. If we add that it is generally very intense, it can be extremely harmful or lethal for the vision. Certain precautions must be followed so as to avoid permanent personal injury. All people who may be exposed to harmful laser radiation levels must know when the laser is active, and if so, they must wear protective eyewear. Due to the high power, the laser integrated in the machine causes laser light to be reflected by flat surfaces. Reflected light is potentially dangerous to the eyes and skin. The electromagnetic emission with micrometric wavelength is located in the far infrared and is therefore invisible, so it is not clear where the reflected beams are directed. ● CAUTION: Direct viewing of a laser beam can cause irreversible damage to the eye. ● CAUTION: It is essential to protect yourself from the beams of reflected light because they can be sufficiently intense to cause permanent damage to the eyes or skin. ● CAUTION: The laser in question falls under class IV. Class IV lasers generate risks not only by direct or reflected radiation but also by diffused radiation. These laser sources can pose a significant hazard for the skin and the risk of fire of inflammable materials. |

Keep all parts of your body away from the machine's working area If subjected to intense laser radiation, even for a brief duration, or to less intense but long-lasting radiation, both the cornea and the retina can burn and be irreparably damaged. This consequence is quite realistic in the case of direct viewing a class IV Laser beam. If subjected to direct focalized radiation, even the skin can burn. Furthermore, it must be considered that collateral radiation can coexist with the main radiation in the ultraviolet: long exposure can cause skin carcinoma. |
 |
Do not use the machine for purposes other than those intended. Otherwise, you could be damaged by laser radiation. |

Appoint a laser safety manager and have him keep monitoring a laser risk and fully understand safety measures. According to each country’s laws, the safety measures for the class-4 laser system are mandatory. (During machine maintenance and control, make sure that the laser radiation is stopped, and safety goggles are put on. The eye/skin exposure to laser radiation can result in serious damage.) In order not to reduce the safety level of the equipment, the User must adopt conforming behavior and in the best possible safe conditions. Therefore, the need arises to develop a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) in relation to the maneuvers to be carried out for commissioning and decommissioning the equipment. This procedure, which is illustrated near the installation, must be used as a reference for the Operator and will be written in their own language. Personnel training will be essential, which must be aimed at: ● Familiarizing with the operating procedures of the system. ● Knowledge of the biological effects of radiation on Eyes and Skin ● Understanding the need for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) |

If you wear a pacemaker, do not come near the machine or work area. It generates electromagnetic waves and can cause malfunction to the heart rhythm device. |
 |
NEVER dismantle or modify the machine without authorization Otherwise, you could be exposed to laser radiation and suffer eye/skin damage. In addition, exposure to a high-voltage part can result in an electric shock. An additional risk may be posed by a fire outbreak from processing materials other than those for which the equipment is intended. ● CAUTION: If the intended use of the source is changed, for example for material process applications, collateral risks may arise due to fumes and vapors being generated which may be irritating or toxic if not removed and filtered properly before releasing them back into the environment. ● CAUTION: Since there is a risk of fire when processing flammable materials, it is essential to follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer when commissioning the machine. ● CAUTION: Do not subject material to the laser radiation other than what the equipment was built for. Electricity is certainly the most serious collateral risk associated with a laser device, which may also be fatal. This can arise when the warnings and procedures imposed by the equipment manufacturer are not observed. Unauthorized and inexperienced personnel must never carry out any type of intervention on the electrical part. The safety devices must never be removed and their efficiency must be checked regularly. ● CAUTION: Do not modify the electrical part unless you are an expert. Do not remove the protective devices. ● CAUTION: When processing flammable materials, it is essential to follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer when commissioning the machine. |
 |
Make sure that you have a system which emits the dust and haze which are generated during operation. The warranty does not cover the system damage or failure resulting from corrosive haze. If, for example, during the processing in the intended use of the Laser source, the material is subjected to alterations and produces irritating and/or toxic fumes or vapors, these must be removed and filtered before releasing them back into the environment. An additional risk may be posed by a fire outbreak from processing materials other than those for which the equipment is intended. ● CAUTION: Do not subject material to the laser radiation other than what the equipment was built for. ● CAUTION: Since there is a risk of fire when processing flammable materials, such as plastics, it is essential to follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer when commissioning the machine. |
| If any defect is found, do not use the machine and contact the Authorized technical support(+82-70-7011-0905) or seller. |
