4.4. HOW TO PROPERLY HANDLE THE DEVICE

Laser radiation can heat the device very quickly. The entire body of the device can get hot, especially at
higher powers. In addition to the standard safety precautions that should be taken when working with
laser radiation, we recommend placing the device on an optical stand when making a measurement. For
this use, the device is equipped with 2 mounting holes with an 8-32 thread (see Figure 2).
