Safety rules for laser lights

The laser light/laser radiation used in the GMC LightSabre
system is Class 2 with maximum 1mW and 400nm–
700nm wavelengths. These lasers do not normally present
an optical hazard, although staring at the beam may
cause flash blindness.

Warning. Do not stare directly at the laser beam.

A hazard may exist if you deliberately stare into the
beam, please observe all safety rules as follows;

3

• The laser shall be used and maintained in accordance

with the manufacturer’s instructions.

• Never aim the beam at any person or an object other

than the work piece.

• The laser beam shall not be deliberately aimed at

personnel and shall be prevented from being directed
towards the eye of a person for longer than 0.25s.

• Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a sturdy work

piece without reflective surfaces. I.e. wood or rough
coated surfaces are acceptable. Bright shiny reflective
sheet steel or the like is not suitable for laser use as the
reflective surface could direct the beam back at the
operator.

• Do not change the laser light assembly with a different

type. Repairs must be carried out by the laser
manufacturer or an authorized agent.

Caution. Use of controls or adjustments or performance of

procedures other than those specified herein may result in
hazardous radiation exposure.

Please refer to the relevant Australian standards, AS 2397
and AS/NZS2211 for more information on Lasers.
