(6) A high voltage of 3 to 4 kV
0-p
is applied to some places in the
laser oscillator cabinet. Therefore, do not turn the power to the
oscillator on or operate the oscillator when an oscillator panel is
open. Operating the laser oscillator with a panel open can cause
a touch on a high-voltage place, resulting in electric shock.
Before turning on the power during maintenance if absolutely
necessary, take measures against accidents.
(7) Before daily inspection, the replacement of a maintenance part
or maintenance, open the main circuit breaker and turn the power
supply off (double power-off).
To prevent the power from being inadvertently turned on, lock
the circuit breaker open, and affix an indication of work in
progress.
Failure to turn off the power during inspection or replacement
exposes the operator to the danger of electric shock.
Before turning on the power during maintenance if absolutely
necessary, take measures against accidents.
(8) The oscillator output mirror and focusing lens on the machining
head both have a substrate made of ZnSe (zinc selenide), a toxic
substance. Therefore, do not touch the mirror or lens with your
bare hands.
Inhaling ZnSe dust may cause difficulty in breathing, completely
stopping the breathing of the victim in the worst case.
If you accidentally touch the mirror or lens with your bare hands,
wash your hands well under running water.
If you accidentally inhale ZnSe dust or debris, seek medical
advice immediately.
(9) Do not look at the machining point without eye protection.
Otherwise, your eyes may be exposed to reflected laser light,
resulting in blindness.
If your eyes are accidentally exposed to laser light, seek medical
advice immediately.
(10) Before attempting to machine any material for the first time,
consult with the manufacturer of the material.
Some materials generate toxic gases when cut or drilled by a
laser beam.
Should you accidentally inhale any toxic gas, seek medical
advice immediately.
(11) If the laser oscillator must be moved, entrust the work to the
machine tool builder whenever possible. If performed by
inexperienced personnel, the oscillator may topple or be dropped,
resulting in a potentially fatal accident.
When the machine tool builder is not available to move the
oscillator, follow the procedure described on the hanging method
label. While moving the oscillator, stand well clear and never
pass under the oscillator.
