LASER SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
Lasers are one of the coolest effects available, and when they are used appropri
-
ately, they will be fun, legal and harmless. To make sure that is the case...
• Always set up and install all laser effects so that all laser light is at least 3 me
-
ters (9.8 feet) above the floor 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 dif-
fraction grating optic, and could allow emission of higher laser levels above Class
3R.
•
NEVER
point lasers at people or animals. Never look into the laser aperture or
laser beams.
•
NEVER
point lasers in areas in which people can potentially get exposed, such
as uncontrolled balconies, etc.
•
NEVER
point lasers at highly reflective surfaces, such as windows, mirrors and
shiny metal. Even laser reflections can be hazardous.
•
NEVER
point a laser at aircraft,
this is a federal offense!
•
NEVER
point un-terminated laser beams into the sky.
•
NEVER
expose the output optic (aperture) to cleaning chemicals.
•
NEVER
use laser if the laser appears to emit only one or two beams.
•
NEVER
use the laser if the housing is damaged, the housing is open, or if the
optics appear damaged in any way.
•
NEVER
open the laser housing. The high laser power levels inside of the pro-
tective housing can start fires, burn skin and will cause instant eye injury.
•
NEVER
leave this device running unattended.
The operation of a class 3R laser show is only allowed if the show is controlled
by a skilled and well-trained operator, familiar with the data from this manual.
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.
