Important Safety Notices
WARNING
The Ocean Optics LIBS System uses a Class 4 laser. When operated as designed and
with the sample chamber closed, this system is equivalent to a Class 1 laser device
and so requires no special precautions. Exposure to a Class 4 laser can cause eye
and skin damage. Although the LIBS System incorporates numerous safety
features, due care is required when using a laser to prevent injury. Never operate
this system without all safety covers in place and sample interlock chamber
functioning.
1. Use laser safety glasses rated for Nd:YAG laser applications (OD6+ @ 1064) at all times when
operating the laser.
2. Only permit properly trained and certified personnel to operate the laser.
3. Read all the instructions that accompanied your laser.
