b) Laser
• When operating the laser equipment, always make sure that the laser beam is
directed so that no one is in the projection area and that unintentionally reflected
beams (e.g. from reflective objects) cannot be directed into areas where people
are present.
• Laser radiation can be dangerous, if the laser beam or its reflection enters
unprotected eyes. Before using the thermometer, familiarise yourself with the
statutory regulations and instructions for operating such a laser device.
• Never look into the laser beam and never point it at people or animals. Laser
radiation can seriously damage your eyes.
• If laser radiation enters your eyes, close your eyes immediately and move your
head away from the beam.
• If your eyes have been irritated by laser radiation, do not continue to carry out
tasks with safety implications, such as working with machines, working from great
heights or close to high voltage. Do not drive any vehicles until the irritation has
completely subsided.
• Do not point the laser beam at mirrors or other reflective surfaces. The
uncontrolled, reflected beam may strike people or animals.
• Never open the device. Configuration or maintenance tasks must only be
completed by a trained specialist who is familiar with the potential hazards.
Improperly executed adjustments might result in dangerous laser radiation.
• The product is equipped with a class 2 laser. Laser signs in different languages
are included in the package. If the sign on the laser is not in your local language,
attach the appropriate sign to the laser.
• Caution: Using equipment or procedures other than those described in these
instructions could lead to exposure to dangerous radiation.
