It is mandatory to observe the laser safety measures for laser class 3B / IIIb (VIS and UV
lasers) or for laser class 4 / IV (MP systems) in accordance with applicable national and
federal regulations.
You may only use the laser listed here, as the laser safety devices are only designed for the
laser variants listed here.
