1. OVERVIEW
4
This manual contains precautions which must be observed during
operation of the laser oscillator, to ensure the operator’s safety and prevent
damage to the oscillator. Each precaution is indicated by “Warning” or
“Caution” according to its severity.
Supplementary information is indicated by “Note”.
Read the contents of each “Warning”, “Caution”, and “Note” before
attempting to use the oscillator.
Precautions to be applied in those situations where there is a danger of the
operator being killed or seriously injured
Precautions to be applied in those situations where there is a danger of the
operator being slightly injured or the oscillator being damaged
Supplementary information other than precautions
The functions of a laser machining system depend not only on the laser
oscillator, but also on the machine, power magnetics cabinet, servo
system, CNC, and operator’s panel. This manual describes only the laser
oscillator. For a description of the other components, refer to the
corresponding manuals, supplied by the machine tool builder.
Read this manual thoroughly and store it in a safe place.
