2.2 CAUTION
(1) If there is a possibility of being exposed to CO
2
laser radiation
exceeding the maximum permissible exposure (MPE) level for
skin, wear protective clothing.
Otherwise, there is a danger of being burnt.
(2) FANUC LASER-MODEL C1000iA is fitted with a red
semiconductor laser to indicate the approximate position of
invisible CO
2
laser beam. Do not look directly at the
semiconductor laser beam. Otherwise, your eyes may be injured.
(3) The gas circulating system in the oscillator becomes very hot.
Do not touch the gas pipes, turbo blower, heat exchanger, or
exhaust pump, until they have cooled down sufficiently after the
oscillator has been turned off. Otherwise, you may be burnt.
(4) Do not pass your hand in the optical path of the laser machine or
under the laser head when the shutter of the oscillator is open.
When the shutter is open, a laser beam may be emitted from the
oscillator accidentally. Before work in the optical path or under
the laser head, confirm that the shutter is closed.
(5) The workpiece becomes very hot during machining. Never touch
the workpiece with your bare hands. Otherwise, you may be
burnt.
(6) During machining, extremely hot chips are likely to be
generated.
Unless sufficient caution is exercised, there is a danger of the
operator being burnt, or of a fire being started.
(7) Some materials may burn or explode when laser machined.
Before attempting to machine any material for the first time,
consult with the manufacturer of the material, to prevent the
danger of fire of or the possibility of operator injury.
(8) The oscillator contains cooling fan units. Although the fan units
are fitted with a finger guard, to prevent injury, keep your hands
well away from the fans.
(9) The oscillator is controlled according to the CNC internal
parameter settings. If a numeric value different from a setting is
entered and the oscillator is operated, the oscillator may
malfunction. In the worst case, the oscillator may be damaged.
