SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
FOR LASER BEAM

5.1 Caution
The LSM-500S series uses a low powered, visible laser beam which has been designed
for safe operation. However, observe the following points when setting up and operating.
1) This measuring unit conforms to IEC 60825-1, the safety code for lasers. This code
was established in January, 2001.
2) This unit is a “Class 2 laser product”, as defined by IEC code.(Maximum output
power: 1.3 mW, semiconductor laser with a wavelength of 650 nm)
3) IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) defines IEC 60825-1 as an
international standard. This unit satisfies EN-60825-1 (Europe), FDA / CDRH /
Laser Notice No.50 (America), and JIS C 6802 (Japan) corresponding to this
standard.
4) Safety precaution labels are described on page 5-2.
5) Do not remove the safety precaution labels on the unit.
6) Do not look directly into the laser beam.
(Never look into the emission window, even when the laser seems to be inactive.)
7) Do not observe the laser beam directly through an optical instrument, such as a
magnifying lens.
8) When measuring flat objects with a mirror finish, do not look at the reflection on the
surface.
9) If measuring a workpiece with reflective parts, avoid fixing your eyes on the
measured surface.
10) Close the beam shutter when the measuring unit is not in use.
11) The laser beam doesn’t harm human skin when irradiating.
12) “CAUTION － Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other
than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.”
CAUTION
Never open the cover on this measuring unit.
