Safety overview
The SF000/B should not be disassembled or modified in any way. The laser eye safety rating depends on the
mechanical integrity of the optics and electronics. There are no user serviceable parts and maintenance or repair
must only be carried out by the manufacturer or a qualified service agent.
Always observe the following safety precautions when operating the SF000/B. Failure to comply with these
precautions or specific warnings given in this product guide violates the safety standards of the intended use for

Laser eye safety
The SF000/B emits ionizing laser radiation. The level of the laser emission is Class 1M which indicates that the laser
beam is safe to look at with the unaided eye, but must not be viewed using binoculars or other optical devices.
Notwithstanding the safety rating, avoid looking into the beam and switch the unit off when working in the area.
The laser eye safety rating depends on the mechanical integrity of the optics and electronics, if these are damaged
do not continue using the SF000/B.
Laser emitting lens
The SF000/B is rated laser Class 1M eye safe. Class 1M laser is safe for all conditions of use however it is not safe to
view the laser through magnifying optics such as microscopes, binoculars or telescopes.
The use of optical instruments with this product will increase eye hazard.
