LASER SAFETY WARNINGS

Caution Avoid direct eye contact with laser 了 light. Never

intentionally expose your eyes or others to direct laser
radiation.

Caution This laser product can potentially cause instant eye

injury or blindness if laser light directly strikes the eyes.

Caution 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.

Caution It is a US Fed eral o ffen se to shine any laser at aircraft.

Caution There are no user serviceable parts inside the unit. Do

not open the housing or attempt any repairs yourself. In
the unlikely event your unit may require service, pleas e
contact the dealer nearest to you..

Caution Use of controls or adjustments or performance of

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

NON-INTERLOCKED HOUSING WARNING

This unit contains high power laser devices internally. 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.

Potential laser injury hazard exists with this product! Read these

Instructions carefully, which include important information about
installation

LASER SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

STOP AND READ ALL LASER SAFETY DATA

Laser light is different from any other light source witch you may be familiar. The
light from this product can potentially cause eyes 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 po wer can cause instant eye injuries,
primarily by burning the retina (the light sensitive portion at the back of the eye).
Even if you can not feel “heat” from a laser beam, it can still potentially injure or
blind you or your audience. E ven very sm all amounts of laser light are potentiall y
hazardous even at long distances. Laser eye injuries can happen quicker than
you can blink.

It is incorrect to think that because these laser entertainment products split the
laser into hundreds of beams or laser beam is scanned out in high speed, that an
individual laser beam is safe for eye e xposur e. T his laser pr oduct us es d ozens of
milliwatts of laser power (Class 3B levels internally). Many of the individual beams
are potentially hazardous to the eyes.

It is also incorrect to assume that because the laser light is moving, it is safe. This
is not true. Nor, do the laser beams always move. Since eye injuries can occur
instantly, it is critical to prevent the possibility of any direct eye exposure. In the
laser safety regulation, it is not legal to aim Class 3B lasers in areas which people
can get exposed. This is true even if it is aimed below people’s faces, such as on
a dance floor.

z Do not operate laser without first reading and understanding all safety and

technical data in this manual.

z Always set up and install all laser effects so that all laser light is at least 3

meters (9.8 feet) above the floor on which people can stand. See “Proper
Laser Set-up & Usage” section later in this manual.

z After set up, and prior to public use test laser to ensure proper function. Do not

use if any defect is detected. Do not use if laser emits only one or two laser
beams rather than dozens/hundreds, as this could indicate damage to the
diffraction grating optic, and could allow emission of higher laser levels.

z Do not point lasers at people or animals.
z Never look into the laser aperture or laser beams.
z Do not point lasers in areas in which people can potentially get exposed. such

as uncontrolled balconies, etc.

z Do not point lasers at highly reflective surfaces such as windows, mirrors and

shiny metal. Even laser reflections can be hazardous

z Never point a laser at aircraft, this is a federal offense.
z Never point un-terminated laser beams into the sky.
z Do not expose the output optic (aperture) to cleaning chemicals.
z Do not use laser if the laser appears to be emitting only one or two beams.
z Do not use laser if housing is damaged or open, or if optics appear damaged

in any way.

z Never open the laser housing. The high laser power levels inside of the

protective housing can start fires, burn skin and will cause instant eye injury.

z Never leave this device running unattended.
z The operation of a Class 3B laser show laser is only allowed if the sho w is

controlled by a skilled and well-trained operator familiar with the data included
in this manual..

z The legal requirements for using laser entertainment products vary from

country to country.The user is responsible for the legal requirements at the
location/country of use.

z Always use appropriate lighting safety cable s when hangin g lights and effects

overhead.

LASER EXPOSURE WARNING

LASER LIGHT

AROVID DIRECT EYE EXPOSURE

Further guidelines and safety programs for safe use of lasers can be found in the
ANSI Z136.1 Standard “For Safe Use of Lasers”, available from
“www.laserinstitute.org”. Many local governments, corporations, agencies,
military and others, require all lasers to be used under the guidelines of ANSI
Z136.1. Laser Display guidance can be obtained via the International Laser
Display Association, www .laserist.org.
