At present, many customers who have used lasers and want to use laser markers are interested in knowing how to do a good job of laser safety protection in daily use.

This document analyzes the precautions when using lasers from the aspects of laser oscillation principles, types, safety standards, and safety protection measures.

The following is a detailed introduction to the safety management precautions when using laser marking machines.

Laser marking machines belong to Class 4 laser products in the laser classification.

Class 4 laser products: Harmful to both skin and eyes, diffuse reflection observation can also be dangerous.

The diagram below illustrates the damage caused by the eyeball absorbing different wavelengths of laser.

Therefore, when we usually use the laser marker, we can install a protective cover on the outside of the machine, pay attention to the eyes do not look directly at the laser, and wear good goggles.
