LASER WARNINGS - WHERE APPLICABLE
•   Lasers are hazardous devices. Permanent eye injury and blindness is possible 
if lasers are used incorrectly.
•   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  a  laser  into audience areas,  where the 
audience or other personnel could get direct laser beams or bright reflections into their eyes.
•   It is illegal to shine any laser at aircraft.
•  Never leave this device running unattended.
NON INTERLOCKING HOUSING WARNINGS
•   This  unit  contains  hazardous  voltages, moving  parts  and  high  power  laser 
emitters.
•   Do not open the laser housing to avoid 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.
LASER SAFETY NOTES - WHERE APPLICABLE
YOU MUST READ THIS LASER SAFETY INFORMATION
Laser light is many thousands of times more concentrated than light from any other kind of light source and as so it poses a real danger to the sight.
This concentration  of  light can cause  instant  eye injuries, primarily  by burning 
the light sensitive portion at the back of the eye called the retina. 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.
Laser eye injuries can happen quicker than you can blink.
•   Entertainment products split the laser  beam  into  hundreds  of  smaller  laser 
beams that are radiated out at high speed. There is a misconception that
an individual  laser  beam is safe  for  eye exposure. This  is not the case. This  product produces high levels of laser power - classified as Class 3B - before it  splits into multiple beams - defined as Class 3R levels. Many of the individual 
beams are potentially hazardous to the eyes and should never be directed into an audience at any time.
•   Do not assume that because the laser light is moving, it is safe. It isn’t, and 
because these beams are being moved by a mechanical device, it is possible for that device to stop moving and then direct the laser beam
constantly at an individual. Since eye injuries can occur instantly, it is critical  to prevent the possibility of any direct eye exposure. 
•   It  is  illegal  to  aim  a  Class  3R  laser  into  an  area  where  people  could  be  exposed, even below people’s eye level.
•   Always install a laser effect to ensure that the entire laser light radiation is at  least 3 meters above the floor on which people can stand. It is very important 
to test the laser before any public use.
•   Do not use if any defect is detected such as if the product emits only one or  two laser beams rather than the expected quantities as this could  indicate 
damage to the product and could allow emission of higher laser levels
above Class 3R.
•   Do  not  point  lasers  at  any  reflective  surfaces  such  as  windows,  mirrors  and metal truss  or  other  reflective  fixtures as even laser  reflections  can  be 
hazardous.
•   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 law is updated from time to time and it is the users sole responsibility to 
understand the legal obligations and responsibilities in force at the time and location of use.
