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 power 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. Even very small amounts of laser light are potentially
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 exposure. This laser product uses dozens 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.
