Failure to use the settings specified in this manual or performance of function
tests other than those described here may lead to a dangerous exposure to
radiation.
Sirona Dental Systems GmbH cannot be held liable for any damage caused
by improper use or non-compliance with the instructions and information pro-
vided in this manual.
Therefore, note that:
CAUTION
SIROLaser may be operated only by trained and qualified personnel.
CAUTION
Laser equipment must be protected against unauthorized access when not in
use. This can be achieved, for example, by switching the laser off following use
so that the electronic access key must be entered before using it again.
Set up the SIROLaser unit properly and completely before putting it into oper-
ation (see Chapter 4).
Make sure that the electrical system is equipped with the required devices for
protection against direct and indirect contact (thermomagnetic switches,
residual current circuit breakers) and has been set up by a qualified electrician
in compliance with the applicable standards.
National directives regarding electrical installations must be observed.
Verify that the line voltage corresponds to the voltage indicated on the rating
plate of the switching power supply or in the technical specifications.
WARNING
Do not use the laser unit if a visual inspection shows that it has been dam-
aged.
WARNING
Do not use the laser unit in the presence of flammable materials or substances.
If you accidentally spill liquid on the unit, immediately stop treatment, discon-
nect the power cord and contact your local dental depot or your authorized
service center for assistance.
CAUTION
Never under any circumstances try to disassemble the laser unit. This is limit-
ed exclusively to trained and authorized personnel.
Do not place the unit near heat sources.
Do not cover the convection openings for air cooling on the sides of the unit.
CAUTION
Make sure that no dust or dirt can enter the optical fiber socket or the optical
system. Otherwise the unit may be permanently damaged.
