Ensure that the site selected for the LF 8600 Tower or Rack Mount configuration is able to support a volumetric air flow of .77 m3/min. (27 cfm). For the Rack Mount configuration, the back door of the enclosing equipment cabinet must have air vents. Ensure that the operating environment is free from dust.

WARNING

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the LF 8600 to rain or moisture. Refer servicing to qualified technicians.

In case of fire or other emergency, isolate the units from the main power by disconnecting the power plugs from their site power receptacles. In situations where disconnecting the plugs is not possible or practical, disconnect the system main power to isolate the units from the main power.Use of controls or adjustments, or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in exposure to hazardous laser radiation.

Do not stare directly into the laser beam or its reflection on any reflecting mirror-like surface. Invisible laser radiation can be emitted if the unit is open and safety interlocks are defeated.
