Laser Safety
Notes
STOP AND READ ALL THE LASER SAFETY NOTES BELOW
Laser light is different from any other light. Laser light can cause eye injury if the product is not
set up and used properly. Laser light is a thousand times more concentrated than any other kind
of light. This concentration can cause instant eye injuries by burning the retina (the light-
sensitive portion at the back of the eye). The heat from a laser light cannot be felt, but it can still
injure or blind product operators and the audience. Even very small amounts of laser light at
long distances are are potentially hazardous.
DO NOT
assume that exposure to an individual laser beam is safe, even a tiny beam split off
from a larger beam. This laser product uses dozens of milliwatts of laser power—Class 3B
levels internally—and splits them into multiple beams—Class 3R levels. The individual Class 3R
level beams are potentially hazardous to the eyes.
DO NOT
assume that a moving laser light is safe. Laser light is never without risk. Since eye
injuries can occur instantly, it is critical to prevent the possibility of ANY direct eye exposure.
According to laser safety regulations, it is not legal to aim Class 3R lasers into areas where
people can be exposed, even if the laser is aimed below people’s faces, such as at a dance
floor.
