Galactic RGB 720

Laser safety for a Class 4 Laser Product

This product is a Class 4 laser with 720 mW visible output.
Class 4 is the highest and most dangerous class of laser, including all lasers that exceed the Class 3B AEL.
By definition, a class 4 laser can burn the skin, or cause devastating and permanent eye damage as a
result of direct, diffuse, specular reflections or indirect beam viewing..
These lasers may ignite combustible materials, and thus may represent a fire risk.
These hazards may also apply to indirect or non-specular reflections of the beam, even from apparently
matte surfaces—meaning that great care must be taken to control the beam path.
Class 4 lasers must be equipped with a key switch and a safety interlock.
CAUTION! Only Laser Safety Officers who are officially certified by a regulatory body or authorized
training organization are allowed to use class 4 lasers in public. The Laser Safety Officer is responsible for
all aspects when using this laser, including following all locally applicable safety laws and regulations. The
manufacturer will not accept liability for damages caused by the misuse or incorrect installation of this
laser.
