Lifting the fiber laser supply
The customer understands and assumes exclusive responsibility for supplying personnel trained and qualified to operate
forklifts, cranes, hoists and other lifting devices to lift or move the fiber laser. All movement of the fiber laser supply must
be done in compliance with applicable local laws and regulations. All handling equipment must be evaluated for each
application and inspected and tested before each use. The fiber laser supply can be moved by forklift, but the forks must
be long enough to extend the entire length of the base. Take care when lifting so that the underside of the fiber laser
supply is not damaged. The customer agrees to observe and ensure compliance with the following:
• The straps and other handling equipment must comply with applicable local standards, laws and regulations.
• The rated capacity, design factor, and efficiency rating of the lifting system, including straps sold by Hypertherm,
may be affected by wear, misuse, overloading, corrosion, deformation, intentional alteration, age, and other use
conditions.
• An inspection of the straps by qualified personnel should be conducted before each use. Worn or damaged
straps may not be used, nor may they be altered or modified in any way.
• All 4 loops at the ends of the straps must be securely and properly attached to the lifting mechanism.
• The fiber laser supply is a nonsymmetrical load; make sure that an analysis by a qualified person is performed
properly to balance the load to prevent tipping and overloading of any one strap.
• All enclosure panels must be securely fastened before lifting the fiber laser supply.
• The lifting mechanism must be rated for the appropriate weight and be suitable for the strap size.
• Each strap should pass through all 4 lifting eyelets in the top of the fiber laser supply and should not be twisted,
constricted, bunched or pinched.
• Straps shall not be shortened or lengthened by knotting, twisting, choker hitching, or other means.
• The fiber laser supply should be lifted slowly, not more than 203 mm (8 in) above the floor, to insure that the
weight is evenly distributed.
• The fiber laser supply should be moved slowly to prevent sudden acceleration and deceleration when moving.
• Access to the area should be restricted when moving or lifting to prevent injury of personnel if the fiber laser
supply shifts or tips.
• Personnel should never be allowed to place themselves or any part of the body under the equipment, or
between the equipment and walls or other solid objects.
DANGER
the fiber laser supply weighs between 185 kg and 283.5 kg (410 lbs and 625 lbs). 1 or 2 person
manual lifting could cause injury. Use appropriate lifting aids and techniques when moving a fiber
laser supply.
