ENGLISH

LASER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:

• According to the EN 60825-1:1994 + A1:2002 + A2:2002 regulations, this laser falls
under the classification 3R. Direct eye exposure can be dangerous.
DANGER: LASER RADIATION !
Avoid direct eye exposure! Laser radiation can cause eye damage
and/or skin damage. All protective measures for a safe operation of
this laser must be applied.
• This product is a so-called show laser, emitting radiation with a wavelength spectrum
between 400 and 700 nm and producing lighting effects for shows.
• Due to the construction of this laser, the beam is moved so fast, that it can only hit the
eye very short. This is why the use of this laser for a Laser-Light-Show can be regarded
as save.
• Never direct the laser beam to people or animals and never leave this device running
unattended.
• This laser may only be used for shows. The operation of a class 3R show laser is only
allowed if the operation is controlled by a skilled and well-trained operator.
• Depending on the classification, operating a laser product can produce laser radiation
that may cause permanent eye damage and/or skin damage. The legal instructions for
using a laser product vary from country to country. The user must always inform himself
on the legal instructions valid in his country and apply them to his situation.
Please note that JB SYSTEMS cannot be made liable for damages caused by incorrect
installations and unskilled operation!

OVERHEAD RIGGING

• Important: The installation must be carried out by qualified service personal only.
Improper installation can result in serious injuries and/or damage to property.
Overhead rigging requires extensive experience! Working load limits should be
respected, certified installation materials should be used, the installed device
should be inspected regularly for safety.
• Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during
rigging, de-rigging and servicing.
• Locate the fixture in a well ventilated spot, far away from any flammable materials and/or
liquids. The fixture must be fixed at least 50cm from surrounding walls.
• The device should be installed out of reach of people and outside areas where persons
may walk by or be seated.
• Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of
10times the device's weight.
• Always use a certified safety cable that can hold 12times the weight of the device when
installing the unit. This secondary safety attachment should be installed in a way that no
part of the installation can drop more than 20cm if the main attachment fails.
• The device should be well fixed; a free-swinging mounting is dangerous and may not be
considered!
• Don't cover any ventilation openings as this may result in overheating.
• The operator has to make sure that the safety-relating and machine-technical
installations are approved by an expert before using them for the first time. The
installations should be inspected every year by a skilled person to be sure that safety is
still optimal.
CAUTION EYEDAMAGE: Always position the laser in a way that
prevents the audience from looking directly into the laser beams. The
installation should assure that the beam will not strike the audience.
