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.

11
10. Always ensure that the main power supply is properly grounded before use. Do not
use a 2 prong IEC cord with this projector. You should always hook up a laser system in
such a way that you have both a primary and backup means of instantly terminating
laser emissions.
11. DO NOT USE the laser device if you suspect that it contains a defect of any kind
either from manufacturing, damage, general wear or has a broken manufacturer’s seal.
Contact us to return the unit to the factory for service and/or maintenance immediately.
12. Should you have difficulty operating the laser properly and troubleshooting does not
work, go to http://www.laseros.com for support and RMA assistance if necessary. Do not
attempt to service, modify or fix the laser yourself. You will be provided with instructions
on how to send the laser projector back for repair.
13. Before using this product in any capacity, ensure that the unit is properly secured to
prevent accidental beam shifts and that a safety cable is used for any aerial rigging.
14. This product is not a toy and should be kept inaccessible to unauthorized persons
before, during, and after use. Keep away from minors.
15. The LaserCube includes all required safety features per international regulations. For
US residents, authorized persons should only be trained employees of an FDA variance
holder.
16. This product is not to be used outdoors. Do not allow laser light to escape indoor
settings as this level of laser light can interfere with Aircraft operation at many miles. DO
NOT allow lasers to hit aircraft or enter airspace. Shining a laser at an aircraft in the US
is considered a federal crime punishable by fines or jail time.**
17. Before using this product, it is the responsibility of the user to be familiar with all
Federal and State reporting and usage requirements. Laws vary by state, some US
states require additional licensing and/or registration. Many locations require operation
only under the supervision of a trained Laser Safety Officer (LSO). An FDA variance is
required to operate this product in the United States.
18. For all venues you must designate safe and restricted areas of the venue where
persons are or are not allowed to be respectively. The “safe areas” should not be subject
to any laser radiation either directly or indirectly. By protocol, there must be at least a 3
meter buffer between safe and restricted areas on all sides. In other words, all laser
beams must terminate (ie. not be reflected away) in the restricted areas to avoid human
contact. The laser must never be aimed at or allowed to be directed or reflected toward
other people or reflective objects.
19. Do not stand in front of the laser while active. All persons should wear protective
eyewear while rigging, maintaining, or otherwise working with the laser.

*Failure to follow the above precautions and other precautions contained in this user
manual, particularly with regard to human exposure to laser radiation and electrical
safety, may result in serious injury, loss of vision, electric shock or skin damage. Class 4
lasers must be handled and operated with care and extreme caution.
**This product shall NOT be operated by persons who are not trained in proper laser
safety procedures and/or do not know how to use all components of a laser system
properly. The safety procedures outlined in this manual must be observed at all times to
provide you with safe and fun laser displays. Please contact us if you have any
questions about how to safely and effectively use our products!

IEC/TR 60825-3:2008 Laser Show Guidance
https://www.en-standard.eu/iec-tr-60825-3-2008-safety-of-laser-products-part-3-guidance-for-
laser-displays-and-shows/
Abstract
IEC/TR 60825-3:2008
This part of IEC 60825, which is a technical report, gives guidance on the planning and design,
set-up and conduct of laser displays and shows that make use of high power lasers. The laser
power needed to produce effective theatrical or artistic displays in large spaces such as theatres,
arenas, or architectural sites is great enough to pose a severe accidental exposure hazard, even
when personal exposure is very brief. For this reason, subclause 4.1.5 of IEC/TR 60825-14
specifies that only laser products that are Class 1, Class 2 or visible-beam Class 3R should be
used for demonstration, display or entertainment purposes in unsupervised areas. Laser products
of other classes should only be permitted under carefully controlled conditions and under the
control of a trained experienced operator. The guidance provided in this technical report is not
intended to include the display or demonstration of scientific, medical or industrial laser products.
However, many of the principles in this guidance may be relevant. This guidance provides
recommendations for safety for those laser displays or demonstrations that are shows, artistic
displays, advertising or light sculptures, or museum pieces used to demonstrate optical principles,
etc. Laser products available for use in a domestic environment or for use by people who cannot
be expected to have received a suitable level of training should be Class 1, Class 2 or visible
beam Class 3R. Therefore, such equipment is outside the scope of this guidance. This guidance
is intended to be used by those who: - design, manufacture, assemble, install or operate laser
products that are Class 4, Class 3B, or non-visible beam Class 3R for display and entertainment
purposes; - operate arenas, theatres, planetaria, discotheques or other places where such laser
products may be installed and operated; or - are responsible for reviewing the safety of such
equipment, installations or displays. This guidance is not normative, but rather a code of practice
for the design, installation, operation and evaluation of the safety of laser light shows and
displays, and the equipment employed in their production. This guidance is also intended for
persons who modify laser display installations or equipment. This guidance contains safety
criteria for the protection of the public or persons in the vicinity of laser displays in the course of
their employment. In some countries, there may be specific requirements, such as government
permissions or notifications of shows, or prohibitions, such as against laser scanning of
spectators without appropriate safeguards. This guidance is not to be understood as in conflict
with such requirements but merely to be supplementary. This second edition cancels and
replaces the first edition published in 1995. It constitutes a technical revision. The main changes
since the first edition include - clarification of the scope; - specific guidance on factors to take into
account regarding scanning safeguards; - clarification of the records to be maintained; and -
modification of the requirements for the zones where unattended laser projectors are used.

Installation:
1. Adjust the beam block with the unit powered off, make sure the key is not
connected, secure projector aiming, then make adjustments to the beam
block.
You may need to repeatedly power the laser back on to check for the
proper beam block setting until it prevents any scanning into audience
areas. All beams must be maintained at least 3 Meters (10 feet) above the
floor level where people may be present. Eye exposure to laser light
can cause instant injury and permanent blindness.
Note: While securing projector aiming, turn off the unit and remove the
key. Check for the proper beam block setting. Repeat until beam block
prevents any scanning into audience areas.

17
2. Place appropriate compliant ANSI area warning sign(s) in and around the
laser show venue especially areas accessible to the audience.
3. Do not leave the laser unattended and ensure the projection area remains
safe throughout your laser show.
