“Machine builder” in this context is meant to include any person that integrates the Hypertherm HFL015 Fiber Laser into
their final laser cutting system.
The Hypertherm HFL015 Fiber Laser is designed as COMPONENTS FOR INCORPORATION into a laser cutting
system for industrial and manufacturing environments. The machine builder is responsible for proper adherence to any
and all laser and machine safety regulations and certifications for the laser cutting system designed and manufactured
by the machine builder. If required by local code, the machine builder or customer shall make arrangements for the final
laser cutting system to be inspected and approved for compliance with local codes and standards by an accredited
testing laboratory or third party expert acceptable to the regulatory authority having jurisdiction for the final installation.
Laser beam cutting is a thermal cutting process that uses heat from a laser beam with high-pressure assist gas
to augment the removal of metal material. There are general hazards associated with metal cutting and specific
hazards using lasers for metal cutting that need to be evaluated and mitigated. The following information provided
with the Hypertherm HFL015 fiber laser is intended to inform the machine builder and the body responsible for the
implementation of workplace and laser safety at the installed site of their responsibilities for safe design, installation and
use. The appropriate local codes and standards for the final installation shall be consulted. Should any information in this
document be in contravention to local codes and standards, the local codes and standards shall take precedence.
