• 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
of this manual.
• After setup, and prior to public use, test laser to ensure proper function. Do not use if
any defect is detected.
•DO NOT use laser if the laser appears to be emitting only one or two beams, rather
than dozens/hundreds, as this could indicate damage to the diffraction grating optic,
and could allow emission of laser levels higher than Class 3R.
• DO NOT point lasers at people or animals.
• Never look into the laser aperture or laser beams.
• DO NOT point lasers into areas in which people can potentially get exposed, such as
uncontrolled balconies, etc.
•DO NOT point lasers at highly reflective surfaces such as windows, mirrors, and
shiny metal. Even laser reflections can be hazar dou s.
• 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 only allowed if the show is controlled by a
skilled and well-trained operator, familiar with the data included in this manual.
• The legal requirements for using laser entertainm ent products vary from country to
