2 LASEROP
2.1 INTENDED USE IN PROFESSIONAL ENVIRONMENTS
Your LaserOp has been specially designed as a professional tool, to be used by a trained,
quali ed, and speci cally designated specialist (preferably certi ed/authorised internally at
the operator’s organisation).
The LaserOp is intended to be used outdoors only.
The LaserOp is appropriate to scare birds away, from a close range up to a distance of 2 km
(~1 mile), depending on the environmental conditions. The LaserOp’s ef ciency is at its best
on darker days (e.g. during winter) or at sunrise/sunset, when the birds are most active.
The LaserOp is powered through batteries.
The LaserOp has proven to be successful in many different situations, scaring away all kinds
of nuisance causing birds. It is ef cient on farm  elds, horticulture plots, cereal storing
facilities, cattle stables, country estates, land lls and industrial properties.
A frequent usage of the LaserOp will cause the birds to return less quickly after they were
scared away.
The laser is to be operated with the smallest possible beam.

Before operating the LaserOp, make sure to carefully read the Safety Instructions.
3.1 SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR USE BY A TRAINED &
QUALIFIED OPERATOR/USER
Before powering and/or operating the LaserOp, you should hold the
LaserOp in your hand, as if it were a ashlight. The LaserOp should t com-
fortably in your hand, as to avoid the risk of uncontrolled movements.
> NEVER look into the laser beam when you are at less than 1,016 metres
(0.65 miles) from the device as this would cause serious eye damage. If you
accidentally do look into the beam, seek immediate medical attention in
order to check possible eye damage.
> NEVER point the beam towards another person.
The applicable legal requirements for the operator have to be applied and
obeyed by the operator. The operator must obey the laws and rules that
are applicable at the time of use.
> The commissioning, setup, operating, cleaning and servicing of the
LaserOp can only be performed by specially trained personnel. A guaran-
teed “internal certication/authorisation” at the operator’s organisation is
necessary in order to avoid that the LaserOp could be improperly used and
be turned into a hazard for the operator and possibly exposed persons.
By “internal certication/authorisation”, we mean certied log-keeping and
justication of all usage.
> Ensure no other people are close to the working area. Ensure that only
trained & certied/authorised personnel will be allowed to operate the
LaserOp.
> NEVER hand out a LaserOp device to any “non certied/authorised” per-
son. NEVER allow that children might touch the LaserOp device. ALWAYS
store the device in a locked enclosure.
> Using the device near residences, roads and any other obstacles is not
allowed. The operation of the device can only be allowed after a properly
executed risk assessment / risk inventory evaluation, and after all neces-
sary measures for risk reduction have been taken.

3.2 INFORMATION AND SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR
CLASS 3B LASER DEVICES
3.3 RESIDUAL RISKS
The laser classication and this Instruction Manual have been compiled
in accordance with the harmonized European Standard EN IEC 60825-
1:2014.
The output power of this laser device is 100 mW at a laser beam wave
length of 532 nm with a fully opened lens.
The power denition is in conformity with the European Standard EN
60825-1:2014 and amounts to 21 mW over 7 mm at a distance of 100 mm
from the lens.
The following table shows the power values for given distances, in accor-
dance with EN 60825-1:2014 (NOHD).
In the Netherlands, the operator should comply with the requirements
listed in sections 6.12, 6.26, and 6.27 of the ARBO-resolution. In Belgium,
the user should consider the public health laws.
The residual risk of the LaserOp device is that eye damage may occur after
looking straight into the laser beam, with or without optical devices.
The operator should ensure that neither himself or any
exposed persons could look straight into the laser beam, which could lead
to eye damage or even blindness.
> If necessary, place warning signs up to a distance of 1,016 metres (0.65
miles) for any possibly exposed persons, even if such persons would be
trespassing on “forbidden premises”.
> NEVER point the laser beam towards airplanes, boats, moving vehicles,
or any other object for which the light might be hazardous.

NEVER look into the laser beam when you are at less than 1,016 metres
(0.65 miles) from the device as this would cause serious eye damage.
If you accidentally do look into the beam, seek immediate medical
attention in order to check possible eye damage.

4 USE AND OPERATION
9
4.1 INSERTING THE BATTERIES
4.2 POWERING UP THE LASEROP
Only trained and “internally certi ed/authorised” operators are allowed to
use this device in a professional environment.
NEVER allow yourself to be distracted when you are operating the device.
Ensure the light source of the LaserOp is clean at all time.
ALWAYS remove the batteries BEFORE cleaning the lens. Ensure to NEV-
ER look straight into the light source of an active laser, as this might lead to
irreversible eye damage!
Do not operate the LaserOp if people are or could be within the reach of
the laser beam.
1. Power up the LaserOp with the ON/OFF key switch located in
the middle of the end cap.
2. Next, push the main switch, the
control light turns on.
3. As soon as the main switch is
released, the device turns off.
> The LaserOp may need to warm
up from 10 to 30 seconds before
delivering the brightest beam.
4. The adjustment knob at the front of the lens allows you to narrow
down the beam or to widen it instead.
Getting started: Ensure the batteries are fully loaded at 3.7 volts, as supplied.
1. Turn the end cap to the left and
remove it.
2. Insert or replace the batteries
with the positive (+) side pointing
outwards in the battery compartment.
3. Screw the end cap back onto the
LaserOp; the device is now ready
for use.

4.3 CHANGING THE BATTERIES
4.4 USING THE LASEROP IN THE FIELD
1. Turn the key switch on the end cap to the Off position.
2. Follow the instructions as indicated in section 4.1 - Inserting the
batteries.
ALWAYS point the laser beam downward when you switch ON the
LaserOp. Then slowly sweep the beam across the lot towards your
objective – the birds – in order to scare them away. Aim directly
towards the birds or just above them.
Normally, the birds will immediately ee to a nearby hiding place; follow them with
the beam to scare them away from their hiding place. If this is regularly done, the
birds will soon regard that hiding place as a “no go area” (unsafe).
If the LaserOp is regularly pointed at their roosting places at sunset and/or sunrise,
they will soon look for another roosting place.
The LaserOp is intended to be used at times when daylight is less intense at the
premises, e.g. during winter. The beam will not be seen in bright sunlight and will
therefore not be efcient.
