Laser Safety
- To assess the potential hazards of laser systems, they are divided into eight safety classes: 1, 1C, 1M, 2, 2M, 3R, 3B, and 4. FLUX beamo is a Class 1 Laser
- Product. A class 1 laser product is a device the safest of all classes and complies with laser safety standards from the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). These regulations ensure that lasers identified with a “Class 1 laser product” are safe. This is guaranteed by its enclosed protective housing and its safety devices.
- FLUX beamo works with a laser source that emits intense and invisible laser light. If the door cover is opened during the task, the interlock ensures the laser stops. Safety interlock switches on the front panel turn off the laser immediately
- if they are opened. Do not place magnets near the front panel or doors as they can interfere with the switches. Do not try to defeat the switches.
- The accessible laser light is hazardous to the eye and the skin if the protective housing or interlock is defeated, modified or removed. Without protective devices, this direct light or diffused reflected light is dangerous to both persons and objects!
- Do not modify or disassemble your beamo. Attempting to modify or service the unit may result in hazardous laser light exposure. All service must be performed only by factory-authorized technicians or only be modified with official authorization.
