General Safety and Maintenance Guidelines
1. No scheduled maintenance necessary to keep the product in compliance. Simply keep
the laser free from dust or other contaminates that could cloud or dirty the laser aperture.
Cleaning the aperture window is the ONLY maintenance allowed and must be performed with
the unit powered down and locked off.
Servicing by the user is not allowed. Any attempt to
open or modify the unit is prohibited. Instant permanent blindness may result in case of an
accidental eye exposure to the beam.
2. Do not expose the human eye directly or indirectly to focused or scattered laser radiation as
loss of vision, complete blindness, and/or other serious injuries may result. Lasers are capable
of starting fires at great distances. Do not use around flammable materials.*
3. Do not take apart, modify or dismantle the laser or operate it under abnormal current load
(doing so will void the warranty). Strictly no service is allowed. Servicing should only be
handled by authorized factory trained technicians.
4. Always treat your laser with great care as some components are very fragile and must not be
subjected to shock.
5. Avoid turning the laser on and off frequently as it will reduce the diode life. This device
does not have a set duty cycle but we do not recommend using it for more than four hours
continuously.
6. From time to time, clean the laser aperture with a dry tissue that does not pill. You may also
use an alcohol prep wipe and compressed air to blow dust from the vents. BE SURE the alcohol
has dried fully before activating the laser
This is the only user maintenance allowed and can
ONLY be performed with the unit powered down and locked off.
7. Always keep all factory supplied labels on the unit and visible. These are required for legal
compliance.
8. During use, be sure to leave an open space around all sides of the laser to facilitate airflow
through the heatsink beneath the device.
9. Operate your laser only within the specified temperature range of 10°C (50°F) to 40°C (104°F).
Failure to do so may result in weak output, overly strong output which will diminish the life of
the unit and/or large output power swings. The LD1000 is thermostatically monitored so we
can determine if a failure was temperature related. Such failures are NOT covered under our
manufacturers warranty. Extreme cold and hot temperatures WILL cause a diode failure. Keep
this unit climate controlled at ALL times.
10. Always ensure that the main power supply is properly grounded before use. Do not use a 2
prong IEC cord with this projector. You should always hook up a laser system in such a way
that you have both a primary and backup means of instantly terminating laser emissions.
11. DO NOT USE the laser device if you suspect that it contains a defect of any kind either from
manufacturing, damage, general wear or has a broken manufacturer’s seal. Contact Magnum
Lighting to return the unit to the factory for service and/or maintenance immediately.
