4-General Safety Instructions

1.Specular Reflection

There are often numerous secondary laser beams produced at various angles
in the output port of the laser. These divergent beams are produced when the
primary beam of laser reflects off a smooth surface, and they are called specular
reflections. Although these secondary beams may be less powerful than the
total power emitted from the primary beam, the intensity may be great enough to
cause damage to the eyes and skin as well as surface of materials.

WARNING:
◎ You must exercise caution to avoid/minimize specular reflections as these
laser radiations are invisible!

2.Safety Instructions of Accessories

The photosensitive elements integrated in laser-related optical accessories may

be damaged by laser exposure, such as: video cameras, photomultipliers, and
photodiodes. Attention should be paid to related device protection.
10 Chapter 2 General Safety Information

WARNING :

◎ The Maxphotonics MFMC laser light is strong enough to cut or weld metal,
burn skin, clothing and paint. In addition, this light can ignite volatile substances
such as alcohol, gasoline, ether and other solvents. During the operating
process, the flammable materials around the laser must be isolated.

3.Optical Operating Instructions

We strongly recommend that you read the following procedures before operating
the laser:

1.Never look directly into the laser output port when the power is turned on.

2.Avoid positioning the laser and all optical output components at eye level.

3.Equip with laser beam casing.

4. Make sure to remove the tail cover of the laser output head before the laser
is turned on, otherwise it will cause irreversible damage to the laser fiber output
head.

5.Ensure that all personal protective equipment is suitable for the output power
and wavelength range of the laser.

6.Use the laser in a room with access controlled by door interlocks. Post warning
signs. Limit the safety areas to operate the laser.

7.Please do not operate the laser in darkened environments.

8.Do not turn on the laser without an optical coupling fiber or an optical output
connector.

9.Carry out commissioning, calibration and focusing at low output power and
then increase the output power gradually when the calibrating and focusing work
is done.

10.Do not install or detach cutting heads or collimators when the laser is active.

11.Make sure that the laser is shut down and the power is off before you install
 Chapter 2 General Safety Information 11

or detach cutting heads or collimators.

12.If the equipment is operated in a manner not specified in this document, the
protection devices and performance of the equipment may be impaired and the
warranty will be voided.

CAUTION:
◎ The output of the laser is delivered through a lens with an anti-reflection
coating. If the backward-stage light path of your laser has the optical lens,
please strictly inspect the lens of the output head and the backward- stage lens
of the laser, and ensure that there is no dust and any other impurity on the lens.
Please note that any macroscopic attachment may cause extreme damage to
lens or burn the laser or any backward-stage light path equipment.
◎ For cleaning instructions of the lens, please refer to the "Optical Fiber
Connector Inspection and Cleaning Guide".
◎ Hot or molten pieces of metal may be produced when the laser is under
operation. Exercise caution if debris is produced in operation.
◎ When you carry out commissioning and calibration of the laser output, you
must set the laser output at low power level and then gradually increase the
output power during checking the quality of the light spot emitted from the laser
via an infrared viewer.

WARNING:
◎ Make sure that the individual protective equipment meets the output power
and wavelength range of the laser.
◎ Never look directly into the optical fiber or the collimator, and make sure you
wear the safety protective glasses in each operation.

4.Electrical Operating Instructions

We strongly recommend that you read the following procedures before operating
12 Chapter 2 General Safety Information

the laser:

1.The power supply voltage of the laser equipment is three-phase alternating

current 360-440VAC, 3P+PE. The laser equipment needs to be properly
grounded during installation and installation. The external cables of the cabinet
must be placed in metal trunking or metal pipes during installation. Pay attention
to the safety of electricity during use to prevent electric shock injury .

2.When disassembling the laser, turned off the power first . If electrical injury
occurs, corrective measures should be taken to prevent secondary injury. The
correct treatment process: turn off the power, release the personnel safely, call
help, and accompany the injured.

3.The equipment does not have any part which can be maintained by operators,
and all the maintenance operations must be finished by the professionals of
Maxphotonics.

4.To prevent electrical shock, do not remove enclosure, detach the laser without
permission and damage the relevant signs. Any product with unauthorized
dismounting shall not be subject to warranty.

WARNING:
◎ The input voltage of the laser is triple-phase AC current (360-440VAC,
3P+3E), which may cause risk of electric shock. All the relevant cables and
connection wires have potential hazards.

5.Environment Conditions and Precautions

For ensuring the safety of the laser working area, suitable enclosures shall
be applied, including but not limited the laser safety signs and the interlocking
devices. Corresponding operators must be trained and examined and know the
normal safety specifications for operating the laser.Meanwhile, it is important
that the output components shall not be installed at eye level.

Because of interaction of the laser and the metal material, the radiation of high-
level ultraviolet light or visible light may be produced. Make sure that the laser
 Chapter 2 General Safety Information 13

is provided with the protective cover to prevent the eyes or other parts of human
bodies from damage by radiation.

We recommend that you comply with the following operating measures to

prolong the service life of the laser:

1.In order to ensure a good operating environment of the laser, reduce the risk
of condensation, reduce the probability of failure, and prolong the service life.
It is strongly recommended to configure the air-conditioned room of the laser
in advance. The air-conditioned room should be spacious enough to facilitate
internal maintenance. It can guarantee the minimum free space around the laser
is 1.0m. If space is limited, the air-conditioned room needs to be designed to be
easy to remove and install.
2.It is necessary to provide sufficient installation space for the air-cooled water
cooler, and to ensure sufficient water cooler exhaust. The minimum free space
of the top of the air-cooled water-cooled fan is 1.5m, and the side plate of the air
filter is 1m away from the wall.
3.It is forbidden to place the air-cooled water-cooled machine in the laser air-
conditioned room. Because the air-cooled water-cooling machine discharges
a lot of hot air, the room temperature will rise rapidly, and finally the heat
dissipation will be poor, causing the water-cooling machine high-pressure alarm
and laser condensation alarm.
4.Do not expose the laser to a high moisture environment.
5.The device is equipped with cooling fans. Make sure that there is sufficient
airflow to cool the laser, any objects or debris that cover the ventilation holes
must be removed at all times.

6.Operation at higher temperature will accelerate aging, increase threshold

current and lower slop efficiency. If the device is overheated, stop operations
and contact Maxphotonics.

7.Ensure that the work surface is properly vented. There may be gases, sparks
and debris generated from the interaction between the laser and the work
surface, and they could pose additional safety hazard.

inner or outer surface under a microscope of 20 times and make it clear. After
careful observation, determine the specific position of the dust particles, open
the alcohol bottle cap and gently press the alcohol bottle mouth makes a small
amount of alcohol ooze out, completely immerse the round cotton swab in
alcohol, and then lightly swab the cotton swab to remove excess alcohol. Use a
cotton swab to wipe the dust particles straight in the direction of the operator's
body. The force should be light. After each wiping, the cotton swab can be
rotated 180° and then wiped with the other side. After wiping for 2 times, the
cotton swab is scrapped. Note that it is not allowed to circle. Or wipe back and
forth to prevent dust particles from contaminating other areas or cotton swabs
directly scratching the surface.After all cleaning, it is necessary to observe under
the microscope again whether the surface is clean.
