LASER WARNINGS AND SAFETY
After the device has been set up, and prior to public use, test the laser to ensure proper function. Do
not use if defects of any kind are detected. DO NOT USE IF LASER EMITS ONLY ONE OR TWO
LASER BEAMS RATHER THAN DOZENS/HUNDREDS, as this could indicate damage to the dif-
fraction grating optic, and could allow emission of higher laser levels above Class 3R.
Do not point lasers at people or animals. Never look into the laser aperture or laser beams.
Do not point lasers in areas in which people can potentially get exposed, such as uncontrolled bal-
conies, etc.
Do not point lasers at highly reflective surfaces, such as windows, mirrors, and shiny metal. Even
laser reflections can be hazardous.
NEVER POINT A LASER AT AIRCRAFT. THIS IS A FEDERAL OFFENSE.
Never point un-terminated laser beams into the sky.
Do not expose the output optic (aperture) to cleaning chemicals.
Do not use laser if the laser appears to be emitting only one or two beams.
Do not use the laser if the housing is damaged, if the housing is open, or if the optics appear dam-
aged in any way.
Never open the laser housing. The high laser power levels inside of the protective housing can start
fires, burn skin, and will cause instant eye injury.
Never leave this device running unattended.
The operation of a class 3R laser show is only allowed if the show is controlled by a skilled and well-
trained operator who is familiar with the information presented in this manual.
The legal requirements for using laser entertainment products vary from country to country. The user
is responsible for the legal requirements at the location/country of use.
Always use proper lighting safety cables when hanging lights and effects overhead.
