Laser Safety Notes

STOP AND READ ALL THE LASER SAFETY NOTES BELOW
Laser light is different from any other light. Laser light can cause eye injury if the product is not set up and
used properly. Laser light is a thousand times more concentrated than any other kind of light. This
concentration can cause instant eye injuries by burning the retina (the light-sensitive portion at the back of
the eye). The heat from a laser light cannot be felt, but it can still injure or blind product operators and the
audience. Even very small amounts of laser light at long distances are potentially hazardous.
DO NOT assume that exposure to an individual laser beam is safe, even a tiny beam split off from a larger
beam. This laser product uses dozens of milliwatts of laser power—Class 3B levels internally—and splits
them into multiple beams—Class 3R levels. The individual Class 3R level beams are potentially hazardous
to the eyes.
DO NOT assume that a moving laser light is safe. Laser light is never without risk. Since eye injuries can
occur instantly, it is critical to prevent the possibility of ANY direct eye exposure. According to laser safety
regulations, it is not legal to aim Class 3R lasers into areas where people can be exposed, even if the laser
is aimed below people's faces, such as at a dance floor.
