X-Terminator
Laser safety for a Class 3B Laser Product
Laser Light is different from any other light source with which you may be familiar with. The light from this
product can potentially cause instant eye 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 cannot 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 products split the laser into hundreds of beams or the 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. According to 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.
CAUTION!
Only Laser Safety Officers who are officially certified by a regulatory body or authorized
training organization are allowed to use class 3B lasers in public. The Laser Safety Officer is responsible for
all aspects when using this laser, including following all locally applicable safety laws and regulations.
The manufacturer will not accept liability for damages caused by the misuse or incorrect installation of
this laser.
CAUTION:
AVOID EXPOSURE TO BEAM: Avoid direct eye contact with laser
light. Never intentionally expose your eyes or others to direct laser radiation.

The legal requirements for using laser entertainment products vary from country to country. The user is
responsible for the legal requirements at the location/country of use.
Further guidelines and safety programs for safe use of lasers can be found in the ANSI Z136.1 Standard
“For Safe Use of Lasers”, available from
www.laserinstitute.org
. Many local governments, corporations,
agencies, military and others, require all lasers to be used under the guidelines of ANSI Z136.1. Laser
Display guidance can be obtained via the International Laser Display Association,
