2.2 Laser Safety Information

To assess the potential dangers laser systems pose, they are classified into

5 safety classes: 1, 2, 3a, 3b and 4. Speedy 300 is a device of class 2 (USA:

Class II). This is guaranteed by the protective housing and the safety

installations.

Please note that improper operation of the device can override the status of

safety class 2 and can cause the emission of harmful radiation.

This laser engraving system contains a carbon dioxide (CO

) laser of class 4

that emits intensive and invisible laser radiation. Without safety precautions

the direct radiation or even diffuse reflected radiation is dangerous!

Without safety precautions, the following risks exist with exposure to laser

radiation:

Eyes: Burns to the cornea

Skin: Burns

Clothing: Danger of fire

Never try to modify or disassemble the laser and do not try to start up a

system that had been modified or disassembled!

Dangerous radiation exposure can result from the use of operation or

adjustment equipment other than that described here, and if different

operational methods are performed.

Service technicians using the service plug are required to wear standard

laser safety glasses for CO

lasers (wavelength 10.6 µm).
