SAFETY OF LASER BEAM (USA)
1. Safety of laser beam
This machine has been certified by the manufacturer to Class 1 level under the radiation 
performance standards established by the U.S.DHHS (Department of Health and Human 
Services) in 1968. This indicates that the product is safe to use during normal operation and 
maintenance. The laser optical system, enclosed in a protective housing and sealed within the 
external covers, never permits the laser beam to escape.
2. The CDRH Act
A laser-product-related act was implemented on Aug. 2, 1976, by the Center for Devices and 
Radiological Health (CDRH) of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This act prohibits 
the sale of laser products in the U.S. without certification, and applies to laser products 
manufactured after Aug. 1, 1976. The label shown below indicates compliance with the CDRH 
regulations and must be attached to laser products marketed in the United States. On this 
machine, the label is on the right.
3. Optical unit
When checking the optical unit, avoid direct exposure to the laser beam, which is invisible. 
Shown at below is the label located on the cover of the optical unit.
4. Maintenance
For safety of the service personnel, follow the maintenance instructions in the other section of 
this manual.
5. Safety switch
The power to the laser unit is cut off when the front cover is opened.

Attention: Le débranchement de la fiche secteur est le seul moyen de mettre l’appareil hors 
tension. Les interrupteurs sur l’appareil ne sont que des interrupteurs de fonctionnement: ils ne 
mettent pas l’appareil hors tension.
