CAUTION: Damage to the VersaLASER system due to inadequate or improper operating
environment is not covered under the Universal Laser Systems (ULS) Warranty. See the ULS
Warranty for additional information. The ULS Warranty can be found in your Reference Guide
packet. Should you require a copy of the Warranty, please contact your local Customer Service
Center at 480-609-0297 (USA), [phone] (Austria), [phone] (Japan) or e-mail us at

Environment (User Supplied)
The laser system must be installed in an oce, laboratory, workshop or light duty 1.
manufacturing environment. Dusty or dirty environments can damage the laser system.
Keep the laser system isolated from any processes that produce airborne particles such as
sandblasting, sanding, machining, etc. Also, keep the VersaLASER system isolated from any
equipment requiring mists of oil or water for lubrication. Airborne dust and liquids can coat and
damage optics and motion system components.
Avoid small, enclosed, non-ventilated areas. Some materials, after laser engraving or cutting, 2.
continue emitting fumes for several minutes after processing. Having these materials present in
a conned, unventilated room can create a health hazard.
For best results, since the lasers are air-cooled, we recommend operating the laser system 3.
between the ambient temperatures of 73ºF (22ºC) and 77ºF (25º C).
Avoid storing the laser system outside the temperatures of 50ºF (10ºC) and 95ºF (35º C) as 4.
excessively cold or hot temperatures can damage the laser cartridge or reduce its lifetime.
Ambient humidity levels must be non-condensing to protect optics.5.
