This product emits an invisible laser beam that is capable of seriously burning human tissue. Always
be aware of the beam’s path and always use a beam block while testing.
Caution: Possible Equipment Damage
Remove the aperture seal before firing the laser!
The self-adhesive seal is installed to prevent dust from entering the laser housing during shipment
and installation and must be removed before operation.
During laser operation, use a gas purge to keep dust and vapor out of the beam path.
When mounting optical components to OEM p250 lasers, the 8–32 UNC fasteners must extend no
further than 8.8 mm (0.35”) into the laser’s faceplate otherwise possible damage may occur.
