The accessible laser radiation of Class 2 (US: calss II) laser systems does not pose any
hazard for the skin. Any short-term radiation of the eyes also poses no risk due to the low
level output. In the event of longer, more intensive radiation, the eye is protected by the
natural lid reflex.
The SpeedMarker 1300 uses a Class 2 (US: calss II) pilot laser. In order to prevent irrita-
tion of the eyes during operation, the operator should not look directly at the laser source.
Diffuse reflections of the pilot laser are entirely harmless.
Class 4 (US: class IV)
High powered lasers (visible or invisible) considered to present potential acute hazard to
the eye and skin for both direct (intrabeam) and scatter (diffused) conditions. Also have
potential hazard considerations for fire (ignition) and byproduct emissions from target or
process materials.
It is the responsibility of the operator of the machine to take take appropriate messurements to eliminate any dangers such as fire or explosions through the laser beam.
When dealing with class 4 (US: class IV) laser follow the following precautions:
According to BGV B 2 „Laser Emission“ a trained laser safety officer hast o
be appointed to evaluate potentiial hazards and to ensure that appropriate
control measurers are implemented.
The laser controlled area shall be posted with appropriate warning signs or warning
lamps.
The laser controlled area shall be defined to contain the laser radiation. Also it must be protected agains unauthorized acess. The operator of class 4 laser systems always has to wear appropriate safety
glasses.

9 Setting up
Setting up the Focus
Prior to any marking it is therefore necessary to set the correct focal distance between the marking head and
the workpiece. An incorrect focal distance is the most common cause of poor or even indistinguishable
markings.
Position the laser by moving the Z-axis until the ideal marking result has been reached.
The focal distance (A) is measured between the lower edge of the galvo head (B) and the upper surface of
the workpiece (C). The correct focal distance depends on the lens used (focal length).
Positioning the Workpiece
Use the “Border Mark” function in the marking software to indicate the marking field with the pilot laser.
Move the workpiece under the laser until it is in the correct marking position.
Maintenance and repair work should only be carried out by Trotec Produktions und Vertriebs Ges.m.b.H. or one of its authorised personnel under observation of the safety regulations.

INFO
Laser optics are highly sensitive and their surfaces are not as hard as traditional
glass. They can also be easily damaged by cleaning. It is therefore necessary to ensure that any dirt is removed using a suitable suction device and that the surrounding
area is cleaned regularly.
Never touch the optical components with your fingers! Oily or dirty hands may damage the
lens surfaces.
To remove larger pieces of dirt, only use a soft lens cleaning cloth in conjunction with high
proof (min. 98 %) alcohol or special lens cleaning liquid.
Do not dip the cleaning cloth in the cleaning solution. This contaminates the solution and
makes it unusable. Place drops of the solution on the cloth!
Do not use any tools or hard objects to clean the surfaces. Scratches cannot be repaired.
Small bellows should be used to remove dust.
Do not use compressed air as it contains small quantities of oil and water.
Distribute the cleaning fluid carefully using small circular motions. Start at the centre of the
lens and move outwards to the edge. Keep moving the cloth until the entire surface is
clean.
Do not exert any pressure on the lens.
Filter mat cover
Replacing the Filter Mat
This laser system is fitted with a ventilation system. A filter mat is used to protect the electronic components
from dust and dirt in the ambient air.
This filter mat should be checked and replaced at regular intervals in order to ensure optimum cooling.
The filter mat is located behind the ventilation slots on the front of the laser rack or PC.
Injury may occur when disassembling the machine. Therefore always wear
suitable protective clothing (Safety glasses, safety shoes, and so on).
CAUTION
The machine must be disconnected from the power supply.
INFO
Always use suitable tools to disassembly the machine. Mind the springs!
Observation window
The observation window is made of a special, coloured plastic. In order not to damage it, it should only be
cleaned with clean water and possibly a little detergent if necessary. Use a soft cloth in order not to scratch the
surface.
Benzene, alcohol, acetone, solvent or similar cleaning agents will damage the laser protection glass, which
must be replaced immediately.
Scratches must also be avoided. The laser protection glass must be replaced immediately if it becomes
scratched.
