radiation. Laser radiation can cause considerable injuries to the
eyes.
Never look into the end of an exposed fiber or into an open
optical connector as long as the optical source is switched on.
Always observe the laser warning instructions (cf. Laser safety
(1-10)).
Arcing
DANGER
Arcing on removing or inserting a live power supply plug.
Arcing can cause burns to the hands and damage to the eyes.
Ensure that the line circuit breaker on the Power Interface (PI)
unit is in the "OFF" position before removing or inserting the
power supply plug.
WARNING
Ineffectiveness of laser warning labels if removed or concealed.
Warning labels on the system and especially on the optical
components warn of the dangers of invisible laser radiation.
Removed, concealed or illegible labels can lead to incorrect
action and thus cause serious injuries to the eyes of operating
staff.
Ensure that the laser warning labels are not removed or
concealed and are always clearly legible.
