Laser safety requirements are based on DIN EN 60825-1:2015. The corresponding accident pre‐
vention regulation of the Accident Prevention and Insurance Association in Germany is BGV-
B2.
This device contains a class-4 laser. It comes equipped with a safety key and a jack for con‐
necting an external safety switch. Always remove the key when the device is not attended by a
trained operator.
As an operator you are responsible for the safety of all persons present. Familiarize yourself
with the laser safety regulations that apply in your country. To ensure safe operation, it is
important to pay attention to the following instructions.
Prior to commissioning, the company/operator must appoint a qualified person as laser pro‐
tection officer in writing and notify the operation of the laser equipment to the Accident Pre‐
vention and Insurance Association and to the authority responsible for occupational safety. In
the event of public use, the complete laser equipment must be approved by an expert (e. g.
the Technical Control Board TÜV) prior to commissioning.

DANGER!
Electric shock caused by short-circuit
Always use proper ready-made insulated mains cabling (power cord) with a pro‐
tective contact plug. Do not modify the mains cable or the plug. Failure to do so
could result in electric shock/death or fire. If in doubt, seek advice from a regis‐
tered electrician.
DANGER!
Laser radiation – avoid exposure to beam
The device contains a class-4 laser, classified according to EN 60825-1:2015. Do
not look into the laser beam. The laser beam can injure your eyes when you
directly look into it. Do not expose yourself to the laser beam. The laser beam can
cause skin burns.
In this context take extreme care when using converging optical instruments.

NOTICE!
Power supply
Before connecting the device, ensure that the input voltage (AC outlet) matches
the voltage rating of the device and that the AC outlet is protected by a residual
current circuit breaker. Failure to do so could result in damage to the device and
possibly injure the user.
Unplug the device before electrical storms occur and when it is unused for long
periods of time to reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.
NOTICE!
Possible staining
The plasticiser contained in the rubber feet of this product may possibly react
with the coating of your parquet, linoleum, laminate or PVC floor and after some
time cause permanent dark stains.
In case of doubt, do not put the rubber feet directly on the floor, but use felt-pad
floor protectors or a carpet.
