3.2 Installation Safety Requirements

application to prevent possible opening while the laser is energized. When laser radiation
exceeding Class 1 levels may exit the enclosure, you must have suitable protection for eyes
available.
At no time should you stare into the beam, place any parts of your body in the
beam path, or expose yourself to reflections of powerful beams. You should
use only a Class 1 HeNe Laser for alignment. If this is not possible, you should
use the available laser's lowest power setting and remote beam sensing
