  • Page 8: Main Preliminary Safety Warnings

    Before continuing with the installation of the device carefully read the following important preliminary safety warnings. WARNING: The main laser radiation of Megalight™ is in Class IV. The free beam produced by a Class IV laser source may represent a significant risk for the eyes and skin even from a great distance!
  • Page 9: Shipping

    MegaLight Installation Shipping Megalight™ must be shipped in its original packing to prevent it from undergoing bumping and vibration. The packing has a device which is sensitive to excessive bumping which may damage the internal parts. WARNING: After shipping and before starting unpacking operations make sure the Antishock Wave label applied to detect any bumping during shipment, is intact, If not, return to the sender.
  • Page 10: Chapter 1: Description Of The Equipment

    Use warnings Megalight™ is a Laser device able to emit class 2M visible radiation (aiming red beam) and a Class IV main invisible radiation (laser beam). Visible lasers which are not able to damage the eye for momentary viewing but may represent a danger if viewed through a magnifying class belonging the class 2M.
