==Precaution==
 
−
 
−
* '''Never leave the laser device unattended while the system is operating.'''
 
−
* Always have a fire extinguisher available, as the laser beam can ignite flammable materials.
 
−
* Do not put any flammanle materials in the inside of the device or in the immediate surroundings of the device.
 
−
* Be aware of all Laser safety stickers on the machine and follow them.
 
−
* The system must be used only by authorized and trained personnel.
 
−
* Avoid electrostatic charging during cable connections / plug-in.
 
−
* Do not start the Laser machine without an adequate exhaust system.
 
−
* In case of a broken lens: avoid direct skin contact and inhaling.
 
−
* "EMERGENCY-STOP": on any risk: LIFT THE COVER LID!
