Do not stare into laser beam. If your eye is exposed directly to the laser beam, it can be hurt. Caution

label (J) and caution labels (C) and (E) are adhered to each machine to comply with the standards for the safe use of laser equipment.

D. Laser marker (only the Model C 8FSHE)

The Model C 8FSHE is equipped with the laser marker that complies with the Class II requirements of the standard specified in "Relative standards." The Class II laser is defined as follows:

·The laser power is low and it is safe by the protective measures such as blinking.

However, it is dangerous if the operator’s eyes are exposed directly to the laser for a protracted period.

·The operator can use the laser equipment without particular training and instruction.

·The amount of light exposure (output) is 1 mW or less at the position where the operator can be exposed to the laser radiation during operation. (This is in the case of the U.S.A. The measuring methods and the output values are different depending on the standards.)

The saw blade unit prevents access of the operator’s eye to the laser-emitting aperture less than 65 mm. In addition, the amount of light exposure (output) is 1 mW or less (about 0.4 mW) at this position. Thus the Model C 8FSHE satisfies the Class II requirements adequately. There is no ill effect on the operator’s body if looking at the laser line on the workpiece during operation.
