2.4 Classification of the warnings
2.5 Laser safety instructions
The warnings used in the operating instructions are divided into four different
levels and are shown prior to potentially dangerous work steps. Arranged in
descending order of importance, they have the following meaning:
DANGER
Describes an imminent threatening danger. If not avoided, this will result in
fatal or extremely critical injuries.
WARNING
Describes a potentially dangerous situation. If not avoided, this may result in
serious injuries.
CAUTION
Describes a potentially harmful situation. If not avoided, this may result in
slight or minor injuries.
NOTICE
Describes the risk of impairing work results or potential material damage to
the equipment.
DANGER
Risk of eye damage
For divergent radiation:
• Monitoring the laser output by means of optical devices (e.g. magnifying
glasses, microscopes) within a distance of 100 mm may constitute a
hazard to eyes.
For collimated radiation:
• Monitoring the laser output from a distance by means of optical devices
(e.g. telescopes, binoculars) may constitute a hazard to eyes.
WARNING
Risk of injury
Injury to eyes caused by laser beams.
• Do not look into the laser beam.
• Wear safety goggles.
