Housing Warning
• 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 this laser into audience areas, where the audience or
other personnel could get direct laser beams or bright reflections into their eyes.
• It is a U.S. federal offense to shine any laser at aircraft.
• Use of controls, adjustments, or procedures other than those specified in this User Manual
may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
• To eliminate wear and improve its lifespan, during periods of non-use completely disconnect
from power via breaker or by unplugging it.
• DO NOT attempt any repairs. Repairs and servicing must be carried out by a certified
technician. Unauthorized modifications are forbidden for safety reasons!
Keep this User Manual for future consultation. If transferring ownership of the product
to another user, be sure this document is kept with the laser.
• This unit contains high power laser devices internally.
• Do not open the laser housing, due to 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.

According to laser safety regulations, it is not legal to aim Class 3R lasers into areas where
people can be exposed, even if the laser is aimed below people’s faces, such as at
floor.
Beamer 6 FX User Manual Rev. 3 Page 9 of 112
• Do not operate the laser without first reading and understanding all the safet y and technical
data in this manual.
• ALWAYS set up and install all laser effects so that any laser light is at least 3 meters
(9.8 feet) above the floor on which people are standing. See the Proper Usage section of this
manual.
• After setup, and prior to public use, test the lasers to ensur e the y are functio ni ng pr operly.
Do not use the product if any defect is detected.
• DO NOT use laser if it is emitting only one or two beams, rather than dozens/hundreds, as
this indicates damage to the diffraction grating optic, and allows emission of laser levels
higher than Class 3R.
• DO NOT point lasers at people or animals.
• DO NOT look into the laser aperture or laser beams.
• DO NOT point lasers into areas where people could be exposed to them.
• DO NOT point lasers at highly reflective surfaces such as windows, mirrors, and shiny metal.
Even laser reflections can be hazardous.
• Never point a laser at aircraft; this is a U.S. federal offense.
• Never point un-terminated laser beams into the sky.
• Do not expose the output optic (aperture) to harsh cleaning chemicals.
• Do not use the laser if the housing is damaged, open, or if the optics appear damaged in any
way.
• Never open the laser housing. The high laser power levels inside of the protective housing
can start fires or burn skin, and will cause instant eye injury.
• Never leave this product running unattended.
• The operation of a Class 3R laser show is allowed only if the lasers are operated by a skilled
and well-trained professional, 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 in the location/country of use.
CAUTION! Do not operate this device in ways not specified in this User Manual. Failure to follow the
instructions will void the warranty, may damage the product, or injure the user or the audience.
CAUTION! This product cannot be discarded with household waste. Contact your local waste
management service for electronic disposal regulations in your area.

The Beam er 6 FX must be mounted in a posit ion that includes planning f or safe laser usage. I
addition, make sure adequate ventilation is provided around the product.
• Before deciding on a location for the product, always make sure there is easy access to the
product for maintenance and programming.
• Make sure that the structure or surface onto which you are mounting the product can support
the product’s weight (see Technical Specificat ions ).
• When mounting the product overhead, always use a safety cable (such as CH-05 from
Chauvet). Mount the product securely to a rigging point, such as an elevated platform or a
truss.
• When rigging the product onto a truss, you should use a mounting clamp of appropriate
weight capacity. The bracket has a 13-mm hole, which is appropriate for this purpose.
• The bracket adjustment knobs allow for directional adjustment when aiming the product to
the desired angle. Only loosen or tighten the bracket knobs manually. Using tools could
damage the knobs.
