distributed by www.minilablaser.com Operational Safety and Use Conditions Before using the equipment, read carefully and understand thoroughly the precautions set forth in this section. The safety precautions are classified into WARNING and CAUTION categories. Supplementary operating instructions are given under IMPORTANT and NOTE categories. These four categories are defined as follows.
distributed by www.minilablaser.com Safety 1.1.1 Basic Operating Precautions • When accessing the machine interior for inspection or servicing, shut down the system by proceeding with the post-operational checks, place the built-in circuit breaker in the OFF position, and turn OFF the main power circuit breaker.
distributed by www.minilablaser.com Room Conditions • Temperature: 15° to 30°C (59° to 86°F) Ambient room temperatures above 30°C (86°F) or below 15°C (59°F) will destabilize processing and replenisher solution temperatures to the detriment of processing performance. Pay special attention to room temperatures in wintertime and maintain solution temperatures within designated ranges.
