Laser light is different from any other light sources with which you may be familiar. The light from
this product can cause eye and skin injury if 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, primarily 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 quicker than you can blink. It is incorrect to think that
because these laser entertainment products use high speed scanned laser beams, that an individual
laser beam is safe for eye exposure. It is also incorrect to assume that because the laser light is
moving, it is safe. This is not true.
Since eye injuries can occur instantly, it is critical toprevent the possibility of any direct eye exposure.
It is not legal to aim this laser projector into areas where people can be exposed. This is true even if
it 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 later in this manual.
After set up, and prior to public use, test the laser to ensure proper function. Do not use if any
defect is detected.
Avoid eye or skin exposure to direct or scattered light.
Do not point lasers at people or animals.
Never look into the laser aperture or laser beams.
Do not point lasers in areas where people can potentially be exposed, such as balconies, etc.
Do not point lasers at highly reflective surfaces, such as windows, mirrors and shiny metal
objects. Even laser reflections can be hazardous.
Never point un-terminated laser beams into the sky.
Do not expose the output optic (aperture) to cleaning chemicals.
Do not use the laser if the housing is damaged, open, or if the optics appear damaged in any
way.
Never leave this device running unattended.
This product must always be operated by a skilled and well-trained operator who is 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 at the location/ country of use.
Always use appropriate lighting safety cables when hanging this projector overhead.
Class 4 laser projector - Avoid eye and skin exposure to direct or scattered light!
This laser product is designated as Class 4 during all procedures of operation.
