1.2 INDIVIDUAL SAFETY MEASURES All the safety measures reported in the following must be scrupulously followed in order to avoid accidental exposures to laser radiation. The personnel authorised to work inside the laser working area must wear the protection glasses at hand. Never direct the laser beam towards eyes. Never look at into the fiber connector. The fiber connector must always be covered either by the fiber or the protection plug (fig.2.3 c). Eliminate from the operative area all reflecting and metallic objects, including personal belongings such as watches and rings since these objects risk reflecting the laser beam. In case of danger immediately press the emergency button (see chapter 3 par. 3.5.1). At the end of using the laser it is recommended to turn off the main switch. The intrinsic characteristics of the diode laser ray, if not correctly used, could set some non-metallic material on fire. It is therefore advisable to follow these simple rules very carefully. Do not point the laser ray towards any clothing. We recommend that only appropriate light coloured and completely dry clothing be worn. Remove all potentially flammable materials such as paper, wood or plastic. Never use flammable gas during laser use. Any solvent or inflammable solution must be allowed to completely evaporate before using the laser. Avoid using any potentially inflammable anaesthetic or gases such as oxygen or nitrous oxide. The saturation of oxygen may ingite many types of materials such as cotton or wadding exposed to laser radiation. It is also important that all inflammable solutions normally used to disinfect be allowed to evaporate before using the laser appliance. Warning: smoke and vapour produced following the exposure to the light radiation may contain vital tissue particles. Model LA3D0001.1 | Manual Code LI3D0001.2 Pag. 15 | Date 25-09-2009
