4. Follow the safety precautions below to ensure operator safety e Operate the BL 700 Series only according to the procedures described in this instruction manual Otherwise injury may occur due to exposure to the laser beam e Do not disassemble the sensor head Laser emission from the BL 700 Series is not automatically stopped if the sensor head is disassembled If you disassemble the sensor head for inspection or repair you may be exposed to the laser beam If the BL 700 Series malfunc tions contact KEYENCE immediately e Do not look directly at the laser beam Looking directly at the laser beam may result in serious eye injury e Protective enclosure We recommend that you install a protective enclosure around the sensor head to prevent any person from getting near the sensor head during operation e Protective goggles We recommend that you wear protective goggles when using the BL 700 Series e Stop laser emissions before cleaning the laser emission port Failure to stop the laser emission may expose eyes or skin to the laser beam e Check the laser beam path To prevent exposure to the laser beam due to specular or diffuse reflection install a screen which offers the appropriate reflectance and temperature characteristics to interrupt the reflected laser beam Do not install the BL 700 Series in such a way that the laser beam passes at eye height 1 5 Safety Features Provided with the BL 700 Series The BL 700 Series is
