Laser Safety
Notes
STOP AND READ ALL THE LASER SAFETY NOTES BELOW
Laser light is different from any other light sources. The light from this
product can
potentially cause eye injury if the product is not set up and used properly. Laser light is
thousands of times more concentrated than light from any other kind of light source. This
concentration of light can cause instant eye injuries, primari
ly by burning the retina (the
light-
sensitive portion at the back of the eye). Even if you cannot feel “heat” from a laser
beam, it can still potentially injure or blind you or your audience. Even very small amounts of
laser light are potentially hazardous—
even at long distances. Laser eye injuries can happen
faster than you can blink.
DO NOT
assume that because laser entertainment products split the laser into hundreds of
beams and that the laser beam is scanned out in high speed, that an individual laser
beam
is safe for eye exposure. This laser product uses dozens of milliwatts of laser power (Class
3B levels internally) before it splits into multiple beams (Class 3R levels). Many of the
individual beams are potentially hazardous to the eyes.
DO NOT assum
e that because the laser light is moving, it is safe. Laser light is never without
risk, nor do the laser beams always move. Since eye injuries can occur instantly, it is critical to
prevent the possibility of ANY direct eye exposure. According to laser safety regulations, it is not
legal to aim Class 3R lasers into areas where people can get exposed. This is true even if the
laser is aimed below people’s faces, such as on a dance floor.
•Do not operate the laser without first reading and understanding all safety and technical data
in this manual.
•ALWAYS set up and install all laser effects so that all laser light is at least
3 meters (9.8 feet) above the floor on which people can stand. See the Proper Usage section
of this manual.
•After setup, and prior to public use, test laser to ensure proper function. Do not use if any
defect is detected.
•DO NOT use laser if the laser appears to be emitting only one or two beams, rather than
dozens/hundreds, as this could indicate damage to the diffraction grating optic, and could
allow emission of laser levels higher than Class 3R.
•DO NOT point lasers at people or animals.
•Never look into the laser aperture or laser beams.
•DO NOT point lasers into areas in which people can potentially get exposed, such as
uncontrolled balconies, etc.
•DO NOT point lasers at highly reflective surfaces such as windows, mirrors, and shiny metal.
Even laser reflections can be hazardous.
•Never point a laser at aircraft; this is a U.S. federal offense.
•Never point un-terminated laser beams into the sky.
•Do not expose the output optic (aperture) to harsh cleaning chemicals.
•Do not use the laser if the housing is damaged, open, or if the optics appear damaged in any
way.
•Never open the laser housing. The high laser power levels inside of the protective housing
can start fires or burn skin, and will cause instant eye injury.
•Never leave this product running unattended.
•The operation of a Class 3R laser show is only allowed if the show is controlled by a skilled
and well-trained operator, familiar with the data included in this manual.
•The legal requirements for using laser entertainment products vary from country to country.
The user is responsible for the legal requirements in the location/country of use.
CAUTION! DO NOT operate this device in ways not specified in this User Manual. Failure to follow
the instructions will void the warranty, may damage the product, or injure the user or the audience.
CAUTION! This product cannot be discarded with household waste. Contact your local waste
management service for electronic disposal regulations in your area.
