General Information
2.1.3 Class 1 LASER
A Class 1 LASER is installed in this instrument. Class 1 LASERS
are products where the radiant power of the LASER beam
accessible (the accessible emission) is always below the Maximum
Permissible Exposure value. Therefore, for Class 1 LASERS the
output power is below the level at which it is believed eye damage
will occur. Exposure to the beam of a Class 1 LASER will not result
in eye injury. Class 1 LASERS may therefore be considered safe.
However, Class 1 LASER products may contain LASER systems of
a higher Class but there are adequate engineering control
measures to ensure that access to the beam is not reasonably
likely. Examples of such products include LASER printers and
compact disc players. CDRH assession number 0510555-02.
Data: 0.3 mW; wavelength = 650 nm
2.1.4 Chemical and Biological Safety
DANGER
Potential Chemical/ Biological Exposure Hazards. Handling
chemical samples, standards and reagents can be dangerous.
Users of this product are advised to familiarize themselves
with safety procedures and the correct use of chemicals, and
to carefully read all relevant Material Safety Data Sheets.
Normal operation of this instrument may involve the use of
hazardous chemicals or biologically harmful samples.
• The user must observe all cautionary information printed on the
original solution containers and safety data sheet prior to their
use.
• All waste solutions must be disposed in accordance with local
and national law.
• The type of protective equipment must be selected according to
the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at
the specific workplace.
2.1.5 Source Lamp Safety
The source lamp operate at high temperatures.
• To avoid a possible electric shock, disconnect the instrument
from the power source before servicing the lamp. Make sure
that the instrument cannot be accidentally switched on again.
CAUTION
The UV lamp generates UV light.
Do not look directly at an operating lamp without wearing UV
protective eye glasses.
Important Note: To prevent a possible burn, allow the lamp to cool
at least 30 minutes before handling.
