LASER WARNINGS - WHERE APPLICABLE
• Lasers are hazardous devices. Permanent eye injury and blindness is possible
if lasers are used incorrectly.
• Avoid direct eye contact with laser light.
• Never intentionally expose your eyes or others to direct laser light.
• This laser product can potentially cause instant eye injury or blindness if laser
light directly strikes the eyes.
• It is illegal and dangerous to shine a laser into audience areas, where the
audience or other personnel could get direct laser beams or bright reflections
into their eyes.
• It is illegal to shine any laser at aircraft.
• Never leave this device running unattended.
NON INTERLOCKING HOUSING WARNINGS
• This unit contains hazardous voltages, moving parts and high power laser
emitters.
• Do not open the laser housing to avoid potential exposure to unsafe levels of
laser radiation.
• The laser power levels, accessible if the unit is opened, can cause instant
blindness, skin burns, and fires.
LASER SAFETY NOTES - WHERE APPLICABLE
YOU MUST READ THIS LASER SAFETY INFORMATION
Laser light is many thousands of times more concentrated than light from
any other kind of light source and as so it poses a real danger to the sight.
This concentration of light can cause instant eye injuries, primarily by burning
the light sensitive portion at the back of the eye called the retina. 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 quicker than you can blink.
• Entertainment products split the laser beam into hundreds of smaller laser
beams that are radiated out at high speed. There is a misconception that
an individual laser beam is safe for eye exposure. This is not the case. This
product produces high levels of laser power - classified as Class 3B - before it
splits into multiple beams - defined as Class 3R levels. Many of the individual
beams are potentially hazardous to the eyes and should never be directed
into an audience at any time.
• Do not assume that because the laser light is moving, it is safe. It isn’t, and
because these beams are being moved by a mechanical device, it is
possible for that device to stop moving and then direct the laser beam
constantly at an individual. Since eye injuries can occur instantly, it is critical
to prevent the possibility of any direct eye exposure.
• It is illegal to aim a Class 3R laser into an area where people could be
exposed, even below people’s eye level.
• Always install a laser effect to ensure that the entire laser light radiation is at
least 3 meters above the floor on which people can stand. It is very important
to test the laser before any public use.
• Do not use if any defect is detected such as if the product emits only one or
two laser beams rather than the expected quantities as this could indicate
damage to the product and could allow emission of higher laser levels
above Class 3R.
• Do not point lasers at any reflective surfaces such as windows, mirrors
and metal truss or other reflective fixtures as even laser reflections can be
hazardous.
• 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 law is updated from time to time and it is the users sole responsibility to
understand the legal obligations and responsibilities in force at the time and
location of use.
We recommend visiting the Government Health & Safety website
http://www.hse.gov.uk or search for “Controlling the radiation safety of display
laser installations” for further information.
