LASER SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
STOP AND READ ALL LASER SAFETY DATA
Laser light is different from any other light source witch you may be familiar. The
light from this prod uct can potentia lly cause eyes 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 can not feel “heat” from a laser beam, it can still pote ntially injure or
blind you or your audience. Even very small amounts of laser light are potentially
hazardous even at lon g distances. Laser eye injuries can happen quicker than
you can blink.
It is incorrect to think that because thes e 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
milliwatts of laser power (Class 4 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 al ways move. Since eye injuries can occur
instantly, it is critical to preve nt the possibility of any direct eye exposure. In the
laser safety regulation, it is not legal to aim Class 4 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 op erate laser without first reading a nd understanding all saf ety and
technical data in this manual.
z
Always set up and install all laser effects so that all l aser light is at le ast 3
meters (9.8 feet) above the floor on which people can st and. See “Pro per
Laser Set-up & Usage” section later in this manual.
