5. Safety Precautions on Laser Machines



Safety tests were carried out to test the safety and reliability of the machine. The tests have shown that the machine is safe to use when used properly. However, the operator must be aware of and be familiar with the safety precautions, guidelines and warning regarding the handling of the machine to avoid serious physical harm or injury or machine damage caused by mishandling.

Read and follow the safety precautions carefully. Improper handling of the machine and/or failure to follow the proper handling procedures during machine operation can cause machine damage and injury or harm to the operator. Redt Inc. declines all liabilities and damages caused by mishandling of the machine and/or failure to follow safety protocols.

The machine uses a Class IV type of laser.
Any adjustments made on the control and/or operation of the laser (apart from its intended purpose) may result in laser accidents or exposure to hazardous laser radiation.
Please take note that direct exposure to laser radiation may cause serious eye injuries and skin burns.

Class IV lasers pose greatest risk of injury not only by direct or reflected exposure from laser radiation but also by scattered radiation. These types of lasers can cause serious harm to the eyes and skin, and can cause flammable materials to catch fire. Therefore, the operator must take all safety measures in containing radiation and make sure that the radiation is eliminated at the end of machine operation. Furthermore, the operator must be well-informed regarding the risks from exposure to this type of laser and must be equipped with appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and a pair of certified protective goggles against laser radiation during machine operation.
Never directly expose yourself to laser radiation. Do not stare at the reflected beams without wearing any PPEs or safety goggles. Failure to do so can result in blindness.

RADIATION VIEWING CONDITIONS Class IV laser is considered powerful as it has highly collimated, monochromatic light sources. In other words, Class IV laser beam has a very bright “point source” with a power density that is dangerously high for the retina. On the other hand, the laser beam’s power density becomes less dangerous if it diffuses and scatters onto a non-reflective screen. Therefore, different types of radiation viewing conditions can be distinguished depending on the approach to the radiation itself and the different degrees of risk accompanied by it.

● Direct viewing of the laser beam
Direct viewing of the laser beam after removing the lenses is highly dangerous. This type of viewing is considered the most dangerous and must be avoided in every way! No protective goggles can provide immediate protection if the beam is viewed directly.

● Direct viewing of the beam after mirror reflection
Direct viewing of the beam after mirror reflection is as dangerous as direct viewing of the laser beam after removing the lenses. Do not directly view the beam reflected from a mirror as the beam strikes on a reflective surface.

● Direct viewing of the beam at the output of an Optical fiber
Beam connected from resonator to Optical fiber. Viewing the beam up to a significant distance is dangerous. Filters and goggles cannot guarantee safety.

● Viewing the beam directly after focusing
This occurs if the laser beam is not extinguished on a suitable absorber at the end of its useful path. Viewing the beam is dangerous up to a significant distance. Filters and protective goggles can guarantee safety for brief exposure, as long as they are the right size and certified.

● Scattered viewing of the Laser beam after focusing
This is the most common viewing condition for equipment in an operative setting. Viewing the beam is not dangerous if not at a short distance, but adequate filters and Goggles can guarantee safety, even for long exposure.

Do not stare at the specular/diffuse reflection of laser. It may result in blindness.

Radiation is invisible however; being close to the visibility threshold causes the eye to receive it almost entirely with no pupillary reflex. If we add that it is generally very intense, it can be extremely harmful or lethal for the vision.
Certain precautions must be followed so as to avoid permanent personal injury.
All people who may be exposed to harmful laser radiation levels must know when the laser is active, and if so, they must wear protective eyewear.
Due to the high power, the laser integrated in the machine causes laser light to be reflected by flat surfaces. Reflected light is potentially dangerous to the eyes and skin. The electromagnetic emission with micrometric wavelength is located in the far infrared and is therefore invisible, so it is not clear where the reflected beams are directed.

● CAUTION: Direct viewing of a laser beam can cause irreversible damage to the eye.

● CAUTION: It is essential to protect yourself from the beams of reflected light because they can be sufficiently intense to cause permanent damage to the eyes or skin.

● CAUTION: The laser in question falls under class IV. Class IV lasers generate risks not only by direct or reflected radiation but also by diffused radiation. These laser sources can pose a significant hazard for the skin and the risk of fire of inflammable materials.

Make sure that your body part is not in the operating range. It may result in skin damage such as burns.

If subjected to intense laser radiation, even for a brief duration, or to less intense but long-lasting radiation, both the cornea and the retina can burn and be irreparably damaged. This consequence is quite realistic in the case of direct viewing a class IV Laser beam.
If subjected to direct focalized radiation, even the skin can burn. Furthermore, it must be considered that collateral radiation can coexist with the main radiation in the ultraviolet: long exposure can cause skin carcinoma.

Do not use the machine for purposes other than those intended. Otherwise, you could be damaged by laser radiation.
Appoint a laser safety manager and have him keep monitoring a laser risk and fully understand safety measures. According to each country’s laws, the safety measures for the class-4 laser system are mandatory. (During machine maintenance and control, make sure that the laser radiation is stopped, and safety goggles are put on. The eye/skin exposure to laser radiation can result in serious damage.)

In order not to reduce the safety level of the equipment, the User must adopt conforming behavior and in the best possible safe conditions. Therefore, the need arises to develop a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) in relation to the maneuvers to be carried out for commissioning and decommissioning the equipment. This procedure, which is illustrated near the installation, must be used as a reference for the Operator and will be written in their own language.
Personnel training will be essential, which must be aimed at:
● Familiarizing with the operating procedures of the system.
● Knowledge of the biological effects of radiation on Eyes and Skin
● Understanding the need for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

If you wear a pacemaker, do not come near the machine or work area. It generates electromagnetic waves and can cause malfunction to the heart rhythm device.
NEVER dismantle or remodel the machine randomly.
Otherwise, you could be exposed to laser radiation and suffer eye/skin damage. In addition, exposure to a high-voltage part can result in an electric shock. An additional risk may be posed by a fire outbreak from processing materials other than those for which the equipment is intended.

● CAUTION: If the intended use of the source is changed, for example for material process applications, collateral risks may arise due to fumes and vapors being generated which may be irritating or toxic if not removed and filtered properly before releasing them back into the environment.

● CAUTION: Since there is a risk of fire when processing flammable materials, it is essential to follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer when commissioning the machine.

● CAUTION: Do not subject material to the laser radiation other than what the equipment was built for.

Electricity is certainly the most serious collateral risk associated with a laser device, which may also be fatal. This can arise when the warnings and procedures imposed by the equipment manufacturer are not observed. Unauthorized and inexperienced personnel must never carry out any type of intervention on the electrical part. The safety devices must never be removed and their efficiency must be checked regularly.

● CAUTION: Do not modify the electrical part unless you are an expert.
Do not remove the protective devices.

● CAUTION: When processing flammable materials, it is essential to follow the
instructions provided by the manufacturer when commissioning the machine.

Make sure that you have a system which emits the dust and haze which are generated during operation. The warranty does not cover the system damage or failure resulting from corrosive haze.

If, for example, during the processing in the intended use of the Laser source, the material is subjected to alterations and produces irritating and/or toxic fumes or vapors, these must be removed and filtered before releasing them back into the environment.

An additional risk may be posed by a fire outbreak from processing materials other than those for which the equipment is intended.

● CAUTION: Do not subject material to the laser radiation other than what the
equipment was built for.

● CAUTION: Since there is a risk of fire when processing flammable materials,
such as plastics, it is essential to follow the instructions provided by
the manufacturer when commissioning the machine.

If any defect is found, do not use the machine and contact the Service Center (+82-70-7011-0905) or seller.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DISMANTLE THE EQUIPMENT

The internal components of the device can cause injury. If the machine malfunctions, it must only be repaired by skilled manufacture personnel.

DO NOT USE IN THE PRESENCE OF FLAMMABLE GAS

Prevent the risk of explosion or fire by not using the equipment in environments saturated with flammable gas with minimal ventilation. Always keep a fire extinguisher nearby.

FUMES AND GAS CAN BE HAZARDOUS TO HEALTH

The laser processes produce fumes and gas. Inhaling these can be dangerous to human health.
● Keep your head away from the fumes. Do not inhale the fumes.
● Do not cover any part of the machine.
● Carefully read the instructions for the various types of materials that can be laser welded.
● It is preferable to use a large room specifically designed for the equipment to be used. If the room is small, make sure it is well ventilated.
● Do not weld near degreasing, cleaning or steaming areas. The heat can react with the vapors, thereby producing very toxic and irritating gas.
● Make sure the materials used do not contain impurities that could produce fumes or gas during laser marking.

LASER CAN GENERATE A FIRE OR EXPLOSION

Sparks and overheating can be generated during the processing of the marking materials and cause a fire and/or burns. Accidental contact of the overheated parts with the gas cylinder could cause an explosion.
● Do not laser weld where the sparks could come into contact with flammable material.
● Remove all flammable objects found near the laser machine. If this is not possible, cover them correctly with flame retardant material.
● It is important to be aware of the risks of fire: always keep a fire extinguisher nearby.
● Actively supervise the machine during operation.
