Harmful Dust and Vapours
When radiating materials by means of a laser, harmful dust and vapours
can be produced. The user is responsible for appropriate measures, e.g. an
exhaust system, to reduce such harmful dust and vapours to a level that
complies with the allowed maximum concentration of pollutants at the work
place.
Touching the Lens
Fused silica lenses are used in the F-Series laser system.
Lenses must not be touched.
If the lens has been soiled, it must be thoroughly cleaned (see “CLEANING
THE LENS” on page 5-3) before any operation.
Touching the Scan Head Mirrors
Never touch the mirrors of the scan head.
The mirrors are inside the scan head and there is a small risk of touching
them when cleaning the lens.
When the mirrors have been touched accidentally wash hands thoroughly
with water and soap.
Fumes and dust from Beryllium metal can be hazardous if inhaled.
Noise
All systems emit during operation a noise level lower than 80dB(A),
Therefore no personal protective equipment against noise is needed.
Crushing
There is a crushing hazard during installation and operation due to:
• Product moving along the laser head.
• Products moving into and out of protective housing.
• Doors and maintenance openings of protective housings.
Especially prevent the risk of squeezing.
