Description of Appropriate Use

This device is designed for laser cutting and engraving of the materials listed in this manual, in a

laboratory, workshop, or light duty manufacturing environment. Materials to be processed must fit

completely inside the system for proper operation.

Notice: This device is not designed, tested, intended or authorized for use in any medical

applications, surgical applications, medical device manufacturing, or any similar procedure or

process requiring approval, testing, or certification by the United States Food and Drug

Administration or other similar governmental entities. Please see the Notice herein for further

General Safety

Use of the equipment in a manner other than what is described in this manual can result in injury to

yourself, others, or may cause severe damage to the equipment and your facility. Failure to follow the

operational requirements and safety guidelines, listed in this manual, may increase this risk.

• Exposure to the laser beam may cause physical burns and can cause severe eye damage. Proper use

and care of this system are essential to safe operation.

• Never operate the laser system without constant supervision of the cutting and engraving process.

Exposure to the laser beam may cause ignition of combustible materials and start a fire. A properly maintained

fire extinguisher should be kept on hand at all times.

• A properly configured, installed, maintained, and operating particulate/fume exhaust system is

mandatory when operating the laser system. Fumes and smoke from the engraving process must be

extracted from the laser system and exhausted outside.

• Some materials, when engraved or cut with a laser, can produce toxic and caustic fumes. We suggest

that you obtain the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) from the materials manufacturer. The MSDS discloses

all of the hazards when handling or processing that material. DISCONTINUE processing any material that shows

signs of chemical deterioration of the laser system such as rust, metal etching or pitting, peeling paint, etc.

Damage to the laser system from caustic materials is NOT covered under warranty.

• Care should be taken when moving or lifting this device. Obtain assistance from 1 or 2 additional people

when lifting or carrying (secure motion system and doors). Severe bodily injury may occur if improper lifting

techniques are applied or the system is dropped.

• 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.
