Laser Safety
This machine complies with 21 CFR Chapter 1 Subchapter J as a Class 1 laser product
under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Radiation
Performance Standard according to the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of
1968. This means that the machine does not produce hazardous radiation.
Since radiation emitted inside the machine is completely confined within protective
housings and external covers, the laser beam cannot escape from the machine during
any phase of user operation.

Administration implemented regulations for laser products on August 2, 1976. These

mandatory for products marketed in the United States.
