1-2 Safety
• Dangerous voltages are present within the electronics and laser enclosures of this system.
Although access to these areas is not necessary during normal use, if it becomes necessary to open
one of these enclosures for service reasons please remember to disconnect the power cord from your
electrical supply.
• This device is specifically designed to comply with CDRH performance requirements under 21
CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11. CDRH is the Center for the Devices of Radiological Health division of the
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the USA. It also complies with CE (European Community)
safety regulations. No guarantees of suitability or safety are provided for any use other than those
specified by Universal Laser Systems, Inc.
Laser Safety
• The 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 has been designed to completely contain the CO2 laser beam. However,
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 laser diode (Class IIIa). DO NOT STARE AT THE RED LIGHT
OR VIEW DIRECTLY WITH OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS.
• The user door is safety interlocked and will disable the invisible CO2 laser beam from firing when the
user door(s) are opened. The control panel will also display a flashing “RED” light to visually indicate
that the safety interlock system has been activated (see diagram). However, since the red diode laser
produces visible light, is NOT safety interlocked and can be activated with the door(s) either open or
closed.
• 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 diode laser
beam 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.
• Improper use of controls and adjustments, or performance of procedures other than those specified in
this manual, may invalidate the safety of this system.
