Do not think that because this laser splits the laser beam into hun- dreds of beams
and that the laser beam is scanned out in high speed, that an individual laser beam
is safe for eye exposure. This laser uses dozens of milliwatts of laser power (Class
3B levels inter- nally) before it splits into multiple beams (Class 3R levels). Many of
the individual beams are potentially hazardous to the eyes.
Do not 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 even the smallest possibility of any direct eye exposure. In the laser safety
regulation, it is not legal to aim Class 3R lasers in areas which people can get
exposed. This is true even i
f it is aimed below people’s faces, such as on a dance
floor.
Do not operate the laser without first reading and understanding all safety and
technical data in this manual.
Always set up and install all laser effects so that all laser light is at least 3 meters
(9.8 feet) above the foor on which people can stand.
After setting up, and before public use, test laser to ensure proper function. Do not
use if any defect is detected. Do not use if laser emits only one or two laser beams
rather than dozens/hundreds, as this could indicate damage to the diffraction grating
optic, and could allow emission of higher laser levels above Class 3R.
