• Lasers can be hazardous and have unique safety considerations. Permanent eye injury and
blindness is possible if lasers are used incorrectly. Pay close attention to each safety
REMARK and WARNING statement in this User Manual. Read all instructions carefully
BEFORE operating this device.
• Always connect the product to a grounded circuit to avoid the risk of electrocution.
• Always disconnect the product from the power source before cleaning.
• Avoid direct eye exposure to the light source while the product is on.
• Make sure the power cord is not crimped or damaged.
• Never disconnect the product from power by pulling or tugging on the cord.
• If mounting the product overhead, always secure to a fastening device using a safety cable.
• Make sure there are no flammable materials close to the product when operating.
• Do not touch the product’s housing when operating bec aus e it ma y be very hot.
• This product is not intended for permanent installation.
• Always make sure that the voltage of the outlet to which you are connecting the product is
within the range stated on the decal or rear panel of the product.
• The product is for indoor use only! (IP20) To prevent risk of fire or shock, do not expose the
product to rain or moisture.
• Always install the product in a location with adequate ventilation, at least 20 in (50 cm) from
adjacent surfaces.
• Be sure that no ventilat ion s lots on the produc t ’s housing are blocked.
• Never connect the product to a dimmer.
• Always use the mounting bracket to carry the product.
• Do not switch the product on/off in short intervals. This will reduce the laser diode life.
• Do not shake this product. Avoid brute force when mounting or operating this product.
• ALWAYS use a safety cable when mounting the product overhead.
• The ambient operating temperature for the laser is 59 °F to 95 °F (15 °C to 35 °C). Do not
operate this product outside this range.
• In the event of a serious operating problem, stop using the product immediately.
• Never try to repair the product. Repairs carried out by unskilled people can lead to damage
or malfunction. Contact the nearest authorized technical assistance center.

• 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.
Housing Warning
• 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.

• Do not operate the laser without first reading and understanding all the safety and technica l
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 ensure the y are functioni 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

• 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

• No ponga en funcionamiento el láser sin primero leer y comprender todos los datos técnicos
y de seguridad de este manual.
• Ubique e instale todos los efectos láser SIEMPRE de forma que toda la luz láser está
al menos a 3m (9,8 pies) sobre el nivel del suelo en el que se encuentra la gente. Vea
la sección Uso Adecuado de este manual.
• Después de la instalación, y antes de su uso público, pruebe los láseres para asegurarse de
que funcionan adecuadamente. No use el producto si detecta cualquier defecto.
• NO use el láser si este emite solo uno o dos haces en lugar de docenas/centenares,
pues esto indica una avería en la óptica de la rejilla de difracción, y permite la emisión
de niveles de láser por encima de la Clase 3R.
• NO apunte con láser a personas o animales.
• NO mire a la apertura del láser o a los haces de láser.
• NO apunte con láser en zonas en la que la gente pueda quedar expuesta.
• NO apunte con láseres a superficies muy reflectantes como ventanas, espejos y metal
pulido. Incluso los reflejos del láser pueden ser peligrosos.
