Some components in the machine may release harmful rays. Place a warning sign at those areas which may be radiated. And to the machines with laser gears, the warning sign should have a grade description.

The radiations which may cause danger include optical radiation, magnetic radiation, microwaves, laser radiation, radioactive materials, and ionizing rays. The followings are possible examples:

Basic safety measures:

• Please observe laws/ codes/ stipulations on rays.
• Place intact warning signs in appropriate places, and make sure that it can be read clearly.
• Don’t enter into harmful radioactive areas. Operate in those areas only under absolutely necessary situations.
• Strong magnetic fields would affect cardiac activity and body auxiliary equipment (such as cardiac pacemakers), thus endangering health or even causing death. Stay away from radiation sources, and keep the minimum safety distance.
• Don’t look the radiation source directly, such as laser beam. Don’t expose eyes and body into radiation.
• Wear appropriate protective clothes and equipment if necessary, such as UV safety glass.
• Cool the heat sources before changing them, such as the light bulb.

To radioactive radiation, observe the following precautions:

• Don’t get close to it when it’s at work.
• Don’t store food around it.
• Never open the radiation emitter.
• If the equipment is broken, shut it off immediately, and have it checked by specially trained and appointed professionals.
• Use of radioactive emitters should submit to national radiation protection regulations (such as radiation protection regulation) and the relevant government administration stipulations. More importantly, it should perform application safety stipulations and be supervised by government administration.
• Except service engineers of King Machine or those authorized by national certificates, other can’t operate the radioactive emitter.
• If the radioactive emitter has been broken, provide protection around the damaged component, so as to reduce the radiation as much as possible. If the cover of the emitter has been lost, use heavy metals to cover it.
• If necessary, measure radiation and radiation range with optical grating, and contact the relevant government organization.
• If radioactive emitter has been lost, report to the relevant government organization.
