Laser Warnings and Safety
NON-INTERLOCKED HOUSING WARNING
The DJ Smart-LightShow contains high power laser devices internally. Do not open the laser housing due to potential
exposure of unsafe levels of laser radiation. The laser power levels, if the unit is opened, can cause instant blindness,
skin burns and fires.
STOP AND READ ALL LASER SAFETY DATA
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS AND LASER SAFETY
The light source emitted from this product can potentially cause eye injury if not set up and used properly. The light
source emitted from a laser is very different from any other light sources with which you may be aware of. Laser light is
thousands of times more concentrated than any light from any other kind of light source. This concentration of light can
cause instant eye injuries, primarily by burning the retina (the back of your eyeball containing cells that are sensitive to
light). 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 beam light are potentially hazardous even at long distances. Laser eye injuries can be
sustained faster than you can blink.
PRECAUTIONS
• Do not think that because this laser splits the laser beam into hundreds of beams and that the laser beam is scanned
out in high speed, that an individual laser beam is safe for eye exposure. This laser uses milliwatts of laser power
before it splits into multiple beams. Many of the individual beams are potentially hazardous to the eyes.
• Do not think that because the laser light is moving, it is safe. Be aware that laser beams do not always move. Since
eye injuries can occur instantly, it is critical to prevent even the smallest possibility of any direct eye exposure. In the
laser safety regulation, it is not legal to aim 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.
• Do not operate the laser without first reading and understanding all safety and technical data in this manual.
• 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.
• 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
diffraction grating optic and could allow emission of higher laser levels above Class 2
• Do not point lasers at people or animals. Never look into the laser aperture or laser beams.
• Do not point lasers in areas in which people can potentially get exposed, such as uncontrolled balconies, etc. Do not
point lasers at highly reflective surfaces, such as windows, mirrors and shiny metal. Laser reflections can
be hazardous.
• Never point a laser at aircraft, this is a federal offense.
• Never point unterminated laser beams into the sky.
• Do not expose the output optic (aperture) to cleaning chemicals.
• Do not use laser if the laser appears to be emitting only one or two beams.
• Do not 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 protective housing can start fires, burn skin
and will cause instant eye injury.
• Never leave this device running unattended.
• The operation of a class 2 laser show is only allowed if the show is controlled by a skilled and well- trained operator,
familiar with the data included in 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.
• Always use proper lighting safety cables when hanging lights and effects overhead.
