Only mark approved materials using suitable parameters Non-observance of the instructions for operation, maintenance and repair described in this Op-
eration Manual excludes any liability of the manufacturer if a defect occurs..
The system must only be operated, maintained and repaired, by personnel that are familiar
with the designated field of use and the dangers of the machine!
Perform maintenance and service according to the specifications in this operation manual.
Use a suitable extraction system to remove fumes, dust or other reaction products Operation of the system is only permitted with equipment and spare parts supplied or listed in
the spare parts and consumables lists.
Use of the system in other areas is against the designated use. The manufacturer does
not admit liability for damage to personal and/or equipment resulting from such use. The operator shall be solely liable for any damage that results from improper use of the machine.
Class 2 (US: class II)
The accessible laser radiation of Class 2 (US: class 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 300 uses a Class 2 (US: class II) pilot laser. In order to prevent irritation of the eyes during operation, the operator should not look directly at the laser source. Diffuse reflections of the pilot laser are entirely harmless.

3 Safety

At the time of the machines development and production, it was built in accordance with prevailing technological regulations and therefore and therefore conforms to industry safety standards. However, hazards may arise should the machine be operated by untrained personnel, used improperly or employed for purposes other than those it was designed for. This chapter provides an overview of all important safety consid­erations necessary to optimise safety and ensure the safe and trouble-free operation of the machine. Other chapters of this manual also contain specific safety instructions. Signs, labels and pictograms affixed to the machine must be kept visible and must not be removed.

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 appropriate measurements 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 has to be ap-
pointed to evaluate potential hazards and to ensure that appropriate control measures 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 against unauthorized access.  The operator of class 4 laser systems always has to wear appropriate safety glasses.  An indicator (typically a light) to provide a warning of laser emission in advance of and during

inal spare parts.
Risk posed by missing protective equipment!
Wear the appropriate workwear. Wear safety glasses (class 4/USA: Class IV) Use a suitable extraction system.
Risk posed by laser marking reaction products! A suitable extraction system must be used when laser marking due to the possible generation of gases, fumes and any other partially toxic by-product. In individual cases, the reaction products may consist of static dust. If this enters any electrical sys­tems it can cause short circuits leading to personal injury and material damage.
Risk posed by flammable or explosive materials! Class 4 laser radiation such as that emitted by the SpeedMarker 1300 may ignite materials or cause explosions. Among others it should be ensured that:
Parameters are selected so that the material does not overheat The system is monitored if necessary Dust is extracted safely
There is no accumulation of any flammable residues or remnants in the workspace.

Gases, fumes and dust

Depending on the materials being marked and the parameters selected, laser marking may generate gases, fumes, aerosols or dust. The toxicity of such by-products depends on the material. The operator is responsible for ensuring a suitable extraction system is in place and for compliance with the relevant guidelines in order to protect individuals and the environment. The guideline VDI 2262 1…3 "Workplace air " provides, among other things, additional remarks. The operator must also ensure that gases, fumes or dust do not settle on the processing lens. Any dirt accumulating on the processing lens can lead to a loss of performance, poor marking results and damage to the device.

Focusing

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).
Use the manual Z-Axis handle or the up and down buttons on the Keypad to move the marking head in
the correct position.

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.

9 Maintenance

Safety instructions

Maintenance schedule

Page 46
SpeedMarker 300
46/ 51
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.
ATTENTION
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 into the cleaning solution. This contaminates the solution and
makes it unusable. Place drops of the solution on the cloth!
Apply the cleaning solution carefully in order to avoid scratching the surface of the lens.
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.
