Class 1 laser product – danger of accident due to glare!
The following laser-specific behavioral rules are to be followed for the Class 1 laser products described in
this document:
• The laser beam may not be directed toward persons, since accidents may be caused by glare.
• Do not look into the direct or reflected beam.
• If laser radiation meets the eye, the eyes must be consciously closed and the head turned away from the
beam immediately.
• When using the laser, no optical instruments may be used to view the radiation source, since this can
lead to exposure limit values being exceeded.
• Manipulations (modifications) of the laser device are not permitted.
