5. Safety Guidelines and Proper Usage
1. No scheduled maintenance necessary to keep the product in compliance. Simply
keep the laser free from dust or other contaminates that could cloud or dirty the laser
aperture. Cleaning the aperture window is the ONLY maintenance allowed and must be
performed with the unit powered down and locked off. Servicing by the user is not
allowed. Any attempt to open or modify the unit is prohibited. Instant permanent
blindness may result in case of an accidental eye exposure to the beam.
2. Do not expose the human eye directly or indirectly to focused or scattered laser
radiation as loss of vision, complete blindness, and/or other serious injuries may result.
Lasers are capable of starting fires at great distances. Do not use around flammable
materials.*
3. Do not take apart, modify or dismantle the laser or operate it under abnormal current
load (doing so will void the warranty). Strictly no service is allowed. Servicing should only
be handled by authorized factory trained technicians.
4. Always treat your laser with great care as some components are very fragile and must
not be subjected to shock.
5. Avoid turning the laser on and off frequently as it will reduce the diode life. This device
does not have a set duty cycle but we do not recommend using it for more than four
hours continuously.
6. From time to time, clean the laser aperture with a dry tissue that does not pill. You
may also use an alcohol prep wipe and compressed air to blow dust from the vents. BE
SURE the alcohol has dried fully before activating the laser. This is the only user
maintenance allowed and can ONLY be performed with the unit powered down
and locked off.
7. Always keep all factory supplied labels on the unit and visible. These are required for
legal compliance.
8. During use, be sure to leave an open space around all sides of the laser to facilitate
airflow through the heat sink beneath the device.
9. Operate your laser only within the specified temperature range of 10°C (50°F) to 40°C
(104°F). Failure to do so may result in weak output, overly strong output which will
diminish the life of the unit and/or large output power swings. The LaserCube is
thermostatically monitored so we can determine if a failure was temperature related.
Such failures are NOT covered under our manufacturer’s warranty. Extreme cold and
hot temperatures WILL cause a diode failure. Keep this unit climate controlled at ALL
times.
