• Laser Light is different from any other light source with which you may be familiar. The light from this
product can potentially cause eye injury if not set up and used properly. Laser light is thousands of times
more concentrated than light from any other kind of light source. This concentration of light power can
cause instant eye injuries, primarily by burning the retina (the light sensitive portion at the back of the eye).
Even if you cannot feel “heat” from a laser beam, it can still potentially injure or blind you or your audience.

• Even very small amounts of laser light are potentially hazardous even at long distances.

• Never look into the laser aperture or laser beams

• Never direct the laser beam to people or animals and

never leave this device running unattended.

• This laser may only be used for shows.

• Depending on the classification, operating a laser

product can produce laser radiation that may cause
permanent eye damage and/or skin damage. The
legal instructions for using a laser product vary from
country to country. The user must always inform
himself on the legal instructions valid in his country
and apply them to his situation.

Please note that JB SYSTEMS cannot be made liable for damages caused by incorrect installations and
unskilled operation!

OVERHEAD RIGGING

• Important: Improper installation can result in serious injuries and/or damage to property.

Overhead rigging requires extensive experience! Working load limits should be respected, certified
installation materials should be used, the installed device should be inspected regularly for safety.

• Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during rigging, de-rigging
and servicing.

• Locate the fixture in a well ventilated spot, far away from any flammable materials and/or liquids.

• The device should be installed out of reach of people and outside areas where persons may walk by or be

seated.

• The device should be well fixed; a free-swinging mounting is dangerous and may not be considered!

MAINTENANCE

• Switch off the unit, unplug the mains cable and wait until the unit has been cooled down.

During inspection the following points should be checked:

• All screws used for installing the device and any of its parts should be tightly fastened and may not be
corroded.

• Housings, fixations and installations spots (ceiling, truss, suspensions) should be totally free from any
deformation.

• When an optical lens is visibly damaged due to cracks or deep scratches, it must be replaced.

• In order to protect the device from overheat the cooling fans (if any) and ventilation openings should be

cleaned monthly.

• The cleaning of internal and external optical lenses and/or mirrors must be carried out periodically to
optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp,
smoky or particularly dirty surroundings can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the unit’s optics.

• Clean with a soft cloth using normal glass cleaning products.

• Always dry the parts carefully.

• Clean the external optics at least once every 30 days.

• Clean the internal optics at least every 90 days.

Attention: We strongly recommend internal cleaning to be carried out by qualified personnel!
