How to make best use of the LSM 510 operating instructions

A few symbols in these operating instructions will help you to recognize the nature and purpose of

information immediately:

The WARNING symbol warns against hazards for the user that might arise when operating the

laser.

This WARNING symbol warns against hazards from dangerously high voltages.

The CAUTION symbol warns against faults and hazards that might arise during operation and

which might cause damage to the unit.

☞The NOTE symbol will help you to optimally solve your work problem. It represents a practical

tip which will help you to find out which settings and methods are capable of improving or

accelerating a procedure.

The HOT SURFACE symbol warns against hazards for the user that might arise when touching

the lamp housing during operation.

The MAINS PLUG symbol remembers service personal to pull the mains plug before opening

the device housing.

Depending on the problem, these operating instructions will supply you with various possibilities:

• If you want to know where to find certain general areas of information, refer to the following outline

of sections to get a general overview.

• You will find a detailed table of contents at the start of every chapter. There you will see at a glance

what topics are dealt with in detail.

Always remember: The time you invest in getting acquainted with the product will pay

for itself many times over in your application task.
