2 SAFETY
Please read this chapter before operating or servicing a Trotec Speedy 100 flexx
laser system!
2.1 General Safety Information
All personnel involved in installation, set-up, operation maintenance and repair of
the machine, must have read and understood the Operation Manual and in
particular the "Safety" section. The user is recommended to generate companyinternal instructions considering the professional qualifications of the personnel
employed in each case, and the receipt of the instruction/Operation Manual or the
participation at introduction/training should be acknowledged in writing in each case.
Safety-conscious Working
The machine must only be operated by trained and authorized personnel.
The scopes of competence for the different activities in the scope of operating the
machine must be clearly defined and observed, so that under the aspect of safety
no unclear questions of competence occur. This applies in particular to activities on
the electric equipment, which must only be performed by special experts.
For all activities concerning installation, set-up, start-up, operation, modifications of
conditions and methods of operation, maintenance, inspection and repair, the
switch-off procedures that may be provided in the Operation Manual must be
observed.
Safety Information for the User and/or Operating Personnel
No working methods are permitted that affect the safety of the machine.
The operator must also ensure that no unauthorized persons work with the machine
(e.g. by activating equipment without authorization).
It is the duty of the operator, to check the machine before start of work for externally
visible damage and defects, and to immediately report changes that appear
(including behavior during operation) that affect the safety.
The user must provide that the machine is only operated in perfect condition.
The user must guarantee the cleanness and accessibility at and around the machine
by corresponding instructions and controls.
Principally, no safety components may be removed or disabled (already here we
emphasize the imminent dangers, for example severe burns, loss of eye-sight). If the
removal of safety components is required during repair and service, the replacement
of the safety components must be performed immediately after completion of the
service and repair activities.
Preparation, retooling, change of work piece, maintenance and repair activities must
only performed with equipment switched off, by trained personnel.
It is forbidden to perform unauthorized modifications and changes to the machine. It
is emphasized, that any unauthorized modifications to the machine are not permitted
for safety reasons.

To assess the potential dangers laser systems pose, they are
classified into 5 safety classes: 1, 2, 3a, 3b and 4. Trotec Speedy
100 flexx is a device of class 2 (USA: Class II). This is guaranteed
by the protective housing and the safety installations.
Please note that improper operation of the device can override the
status of safety class 2 and can cause the emission of harmful
radiation.
This laser system contains an YTTERBIUM FIBER LASER and a
carbon dioxide (CO2) laser source of class 4 that emit intensive and
invisible laser radiation. Without safety precautions the direct
radiation or even diffuse reflected radiation is dangerous!
Without safety precautions, the following risks exist with exposure to
laser radiation:
Eyes: Burns to the retina for NIR (Near Infra Red) LASER
Burns to the cornea for CO2 Laser
Skin: Burns
Clothing: Danger of fire
Never try to modify or disassemble the laser and do not try to start
up a system that had been modified or disassembled!
Dangerous radiation exposure can result from the use of
operation or adjustment equipment other than that described
here, and if different operational methods are performed.
Service technicians using the service plug are required to wear
standard laser safety glasses for NIR (Near Infra Red) lasers
(wavelength 1060 nm) and for CO2 lasers (wavelength 10.6 µm).
2.2 Laser Safety Information

Issue 10/2012
Technical changes reserved
TROTEC Produktions- u. Vertriebs GmbH
Linzer Straße 156
A – 4600 Wels
Page 13 of 60
Dangerous radiation exposure can result from the use of
materials other than described in Section 1.2 Designated Use
and the material table in 6 Material Table:
In case of using highly reflecting materials like
blank or polished metals
metals with very high reflectivity like copper, brass, gold,
silver
any materials with highly reflecting coatings
other highly reflecting materials,
especially in combination with high laser power, low processing speed
and/or work pieces with curved or inclined surfaces, laser radiation might
be reflected towards the protection cover. With a very low probability this
protection cover could be damaged if the reflected radiation is FOCUSSED
onto the surface of the protection cover.
Therefore visual inspection for point-like defects on the protection cover
should be done if the aforementioned conditions are given.
The loss of yellow color on the protection cover indicates a damage of the
protecting layer. If you detect such effects, immediately turn off the laser
machine and take care to get a new protection cover.
Also other components inside the machine may be damaged if the aforementioned
conditions are given. To improve laser safety an optional “Laser Protection Cover” is
available on request.

2.3 Safety Precautions when Operating the
Device
In your Speedy 100 flexx, a closed safety system is integrated which immediately
switches off the power to the laser tube when the protection cover is opened.
Consequently an incomplete engraving can occur if the cover is opened during
operation. Therefore, first press the "PAUSE" button, if you want to interrupt an
engraving process.
Please remember the following safety precautions when working with this device:
A fire extinguisher must always be handy as the laser beam can ignite flammable
materials. Do not store any flammable materials in the inside of the device or in the
immediate vicinity of the device. Particularly leftovers of produced materials have to
be removed to prevent fire hazard.
Unsupervised operation of the system is not permitted.
Because of their low absorption polished and pure metals like un-coated aluminum,
copper, silver and gold can show very weak interaction with the laser beam and lead
to strong reflections. Such materials must be handled with care, as a directed
reflection could harm the protection cover. The protection cover is damaged if the
reflected radiation is FOCUSSED in the plane of the protection cover. By accident,
this effect is almost impossible.
Adjustment of the beam path must be performed only by especially trained
personnel. An improper setting can lead to uncontrolled emission of the laser
radiation.
Before processing materials the user must verify, whether harmful materials can be
generated and whether the filter equipment of the exhaust system is suitable for the
harmful materials. We emphasize that it is the responsibility of the user, to consider
the national and regional threshold values for dust, fogs and gases when selecting
the filters and the exhaust system. (The values for the maximum workplace
concentration must not be exceeded.)
Please refer to the manual of the exhaust system on how and in what intervals you
need to replace filters.
PVC (polyvinyl chloride) must under no circumstances be processed with the
laser.
Should you have further questions before starting work, please contact your dealer
or TROTEC.
