User’s Manual & Laser Safety Guide | 1
First and foremost, we are laser enthusiasts. We desire nothing more than
to achieve perfection in our craft. For us, pushing the limits of technology
is part of our daily routine. It’s only impossible if we don’t try.
As we continue to advance in our search for perfection, we’ve set
benchmarks for others to follow and new limits for us to test. This is our
mission. We plan to continually push the boundaries of technology and
create products that challenge the imagination far into the future.
FOREWORD

User’s Manual & Laser Safety Guide | 1
We wanted to create the world’s most powerful handheld laser - we
succeeded and inadvertently set a world record in doing so. We are
extremely proud to be included in the Guinness Book of World Records
for 2007. This will serve as a testament to our commitment to providing the
world with the most sophisticated laser products technology can oer.
Designed and developed by some of the world’s best engineers, the Spyder
Series stands at the pinnacle of laser technology. Lithium powered, water
resistant and ultimately powerful, the Spyder Series is our most advanced
line of handheld lasers to date.
We still have much to prove as there is still a world of possibilities in front of
us. Our quest to turn science ction into reality has only just begun.
