NON-INTERLOCKED HOUSING WARNING
This unit contains high power laser devices internally. Do not open the laser housing, due to potential exposure to unsafe levels of
laser radiation. The laser power levels accessible if the unit is opened can cause instant blindness, skin burns and fires.
LASER SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
STOP AND READ ALL LASER SAFETY DATA
Laser Light is different from any other light source with which you may be familiar. The light from this product can potentially cause
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 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 mini Watts 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 section later in this manual
z
After set up, and prior to 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.
z
Do not point lasers at people or animals.
z
Never look into the laser aperture or laser beams
z
Do not point lasers in areas in which people can potentially get exposed, such as uncontrolled balconies, etc.
z
Do not point lasers at highly reflective surfaces such as windows, mirrors and shiny metal. Even laser reflections can be
hazardous.
z
Never point a laser at aircraft, this is a federal offense
z
Never point un-terminated laser beams into the sky
z
Do not expose the output optic (aperture) to cleaning chemicals
z
Do not use laser if the laser appears to be emitting only one or two beams
z
Do not use laser if housing is damaged or open, or if optics appear damaged in any way.
z
Never open the laser housing. The high laser power levels inside of the protective housing can start fires, burn skin and will
cause instant eye injury.
z
Never leave this device running unattended.
z
The operation of a class 3B laser show laser is only allowed if the show is controlled by a skilled and well-trained operator
familiar with the data included in this manual.
z
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.
z
Always use appropriate lighting safety cables when hanging lights and effects overhead.
