Safety Information

The lightning bolt
within a triangle is
intended to alert the
user to the presence
of un insulated
dangerous voltage
levels within the
product’s enclosure.

This voltage may be of
sufficient magnitude
to constitute an
electric shock risk.

To reduce the risk of electric

shock, do not remove cover
of this device. There are no
user serviceable parts
inside. Refer servicing only
to qualified service
personnel.

The exclamation point

within a triangle is
intended to alert the
user to important
operating and
maintenance
(servicing)
instructions in the
literature
accompanying the
appliance.

Safety Precautions

• Read and retain these instructions

• Follow all instructions and heed warnings

• Laser light effects can, if used incorrectly be very dangerous. This product should

be used in accordance with the

HSE guidance publication HS(G)95

“The

radiation safety of lasers used for display purposes” this is available online
in PDF format from http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/priced/hsg95.pdf or
from book stores under ISBN 978 0 7176 0691 7

• Users of this equipment must be competent and fully aware of all safety
implications of using laser products

• This laser effect falls into the classification 3B. Full details of usage, exposure
(MPE) and safety precautions can be found in the HS(G)95 publication. Extreme
care should be taken to avoid all eye contact (direct or indirect) with the beams
emitted from this unit.

• Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and only use indoors.
The laser must be mounted so that its emission is always directed away from
people and animals taking great care to avoid any objects that may reflect the
beams towards people. HS(G)95 states that separation distanced of 3m vertically
and 2.5m horizontally must be observed. (This was correct at time of print)

• Do not block ventilation openings

• Do not install near heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other

devices that produce heat

• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounded plug. This plug has two blades
and a third ground prong. The wide blade or third prong are provided for your

safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet

• Protect the power cord from being stressed at the plugs, convenience
receptacles, and where they exit the amplifier

• Unplug the device during lightning storms or when unused for an extended time

• Refer all servicing to qualified personnel

• If the surface becomes dirty, clean only with dry cloth, do not use solvents or

thinners

• This device must not be exposed to water in any way. No object filled with liquids
should be placed on apparatus.

• When due for replacement fuses should always be replaced by the same type and
rating. Using fuses of incorrect type and/or rating may present a dangerous
situation.

• Never remove any safety warnings or markings applied to the product.

• This product is designed to be connected directly to a standard mains outlet

(240Vac ~ 50Hz). Do not connect via any form of dimmer.

• Laser effects are fitted with key-switches as safety overrides, these must not be
defeated neither should the keys be stored in the unit when not in use. The key
switches are designed to prevent unauthorised use.

• Ensure that ventilation holes and fans are always kept clear of dust and
blockages, this can be done when the unit is powered off using a clean, fine paint
brush and a low power vacuum cleaner.

• Maximum loadings on stands, rigging and truss must be observed at all times.
This item should also have a secondary fixing attached in the way of a safety
bond wire. All rigging should be carried out by competent persons.

• Users need to be competent to operate display laser installations. They should:

(a) Appoint a laser safety officer and provide effective supervision unless
the installation is permanent, designed to operate entirely automatically and
does not scan audiences; and
(b) Ensure that all operators are trained to operate and maintain their
installation safely and that they receive general instruction on laser hazards
arising from visibly emitting lasers and the safety precautions that need to be
taken.

• Users need to have effective systems of work for maintenance, alignment checks
and setting up procedures. If safety assessment of these activities indicates that
there is a risk of hazardous personal exposure, employees must be provided with
appropriate protective eyewear.

• Users should determine the extent of any laser hazard areas that arise during a
display event so that personal access can be controlled. The user should ensure
that the minimum separation distances given in this guidance are observed (see
‘Supervision’ in Chapter 2 of HSG95).
