exposure. In the laser safety regulation, it is not legal to aim Class 3B 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 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 lasers light is at least 3 meters (9.8 feet) above the
floor on which people can stand. See "Proper Laser Set-up & Usage" section later in this manual.
-
After set up, and prior to 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.
-
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. 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.
-
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 laser if housing is damaged or open, or if 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 3B laser show laser 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 appropriate lighting safety cables when hanging lights and effects overhead.
2.4. LASER EXPOSURE WARNING
LASER LIGHT AROVID DIRECT EYE EXPOSURE
Further guidelines and safety programs for safe use of lasers can be found in the ANSI Z136.1 Standard "For
Safe Use of Lasers", available from "www.laserinstitute.org". Many local governments, corporations, agencies,
military and others, require all lasers to be used under the guidelines of ANSI Z136.1. Laser Display guidance can
be obtained via the International Laser Display Association, www.laserist.org.
