6For the Proper Use of Product• Be sure to observe the following matters to prevent a failure or a malfunction of this product and tomaintain the product performance properly. Operating environment• Do not use the product in a place with frequent vibrations or shocks. Moreover, please do not drop this product. It mayaffect the precision component and optical component inside, which could impair the performance or result in a failure.• Do not use the system outdoors.• This product uses the air cooling system as the laser cooling method. Please install not to bar the flow of air cooling.Avoid placing heat sources near the product.• Be sure to use the product within the ambient temperature and humidity defined in the specifications.• Be careful not to have water, oil, fingerprints, dust, or dirt attached to the laser emission port of the head. This coulddegrade the marking performance and may result in a failure. If the laser emission port becomes dirty, use a dry softcloth to clean the port.• If the air filter becomes dirt, clean the filter without delay. Failure to do so may hinder the air flow, resulting in failure ofthis product. Make sure to replace the air filter on a periodic basis.• Ensure that the dust or gas is removed by placing the intake duct of the dust collector or exhauster near the source ofdust or gas. Any dust or gas contamination on the laser emission port may cause failure or decrease the laser markingor processing quality. In addition, when the laser beam is blocked by dust or gas, it may cause decrease in laser markingquality. Installation• To carry this product, wear the non-slip gloves. Hold the product with both hands. Do not hold the cables or connectorsat carrying.• Do not touch the laser emission port on the bottom of the head. It may affect the marking quality badly.• Carry this product as shown in the figure below.Laser emissionportLaser pointeremission portHead Controller• Be careful not to apply excess force to the cable or not to nip the cable at the installation.• Verify the minimum bend radius of each cable and install them without excess forces being applied.• Do not hit the device with a tool such as a hammer at the installation. Do not use excessive force while tightening thescrews (nuts). It may cause a failure.• Do not insert foreign objects to the exhaust port of each unit or the gaps between units.• Use anti-reflection material (ex. black paint for metal) for an external shutter or a protective enclosure in a path of laserbeam. It may cause a failure of the components inside the laser marker head.• If any other devices such as a sensor or a camera are installed near the laser marker, make sure that these devices areinstalled in the place where laser beam and its reflected beam do not damage to them.ME-LPGS-SM-8
