DANGEROUS VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT WITHIN THE ELECTRONICS ENCLOSURES
OF THIS SYSTEM. Access to these areas is not necessary during normal operation. If it becomes
necessary to open one of these enclosures for service reasons, please remember to disconnect the
power cord from your electrical supply.
NEVER REMOVE THE GROUND LEAD TO THE ELECTRICAL CORD AND PLUG THE SYSTEM
INTO A NON-GROUNDED OUTLET. A laser system that is not properly grounded is hazardous
and has the potential to cause severe or fatal electrical shock. Without proper grounding, the laser
system may exhibit sporadic or unpredictable behavior. Always plug the system into a properly
grounded (earthed) outlet.
THE POWER SUPPLY CORD IS THE MAINS DISCONNECT DEVICE; THE EQUIPMENT SHOULD
BE LOCATED CLOSE TO AN EASILY ACCESSIBLE POWER OUTLET. To disconnect the
equipment from the supply mains, the power cord should be unplugged from the power outlet or
main power inlet (appliance coupler) of the unit.
THIS DEVICE IS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO COMPLY WITH CDRH PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS UNDER 21 CFR
1040.10 AND 1040.11 AND TO COMPLY WITH EUROPEAN LASER SAFETY REGULATIONS UNDER EN60825-1. CDRH
is the Center for the Devices of Radiological Health division of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the USA. No
guarantees of suitability or safety are provided for any use other than those specied by Universal Laser Systems, Inc.
THE LASER SYSTEM IS DESIGNED AS A CLASS I, GROUP A, PLUGGABLE DEVICE. It is also
designed for connection to IT power systems which provide the most exibility to the user.
The intense light that appears during the engraving or cutting process is the product of material combustion •
or vaporization. DO NOT STARE AT THIS INTENSE LIGHT OR VIEW DIRECTLY WITH OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS
SUCH AS BINOCULARS OR MICROSCOPES.
This device may contain a visible Red Diode Pointer (Class 3R) to aid in positioning material to be cut or engraved. •
DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE RED LASER BEAM OR USE A REFLECTIVE SURFACE TO REDIRECT OR
VIEW THE RED LASER BEAM. NEVER ATTEMPT TO VIEW THE RED LASER BEAM USING OPTICAL
INSTRUMENTS SUCH AS BINOCULARS OR MICROSCOPES.
The user door(s) are safety interlocked which will prevent the CO•
2
laser beam from ring when the user door(s)
are opened. The Red Diode Pointer is NOT safety interlocked and can be automatically activated with the door(s)
either open or closed.
DO NOT OPERATE THE LASER SYSTEM IF ANY SAFETY FEATURES HAVE BEEN MODIFIED, DISABLED OR •
REMOVED. This may lead to accidental exposure to invisible CO
2
laser radiation which may cause severe eye
damage and/or severe burns to your skin.
Always use caution when operating a laser system.•
Laser Safety
The device contains a sealed carbon dioxide (CO
2
) laser that produces intense invisible laser radiation at a wavelength
of 10.6 microns in the infrared spectrum. For your protection, the laser is contained within a Class 1* enclosure designed
to completely contain the CO
2
laser beam. CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustmens or performance of proce-
dures other than those specied herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
*An enclosure which does not permit human access to laser radiation in excess of the accessible emission limits of Class 1 for the applicable wavelength
and emission duration.
All laser cartridges are equipped with tamper proof labels. There are NO eld serviceable parts inside a Universal
Laser System, Inc. (ULS) laser cartridge. If your laser cartridge needs service, please contact the Customer Service Team
at 480-609-0297 (USA), [phone] (Austria), [phone] (Japan) or e-mail us at [e-mail].
