LASER AND SAFETY NOTES

STOP AND READ ALL THE LASER SAFETY NOTES BELOW
Laser Light is different from any other light sources with which you may be familiar. The light from this product can
cause eye and skin injury if not set up and used properly. Laser light is thousands of times more concentrated
than light from any other kind of light source. This concentration of light can cause instant eye injuries, primarily
by burning the retina (the light sensitive portion at the back of the eye). Even if you cannot feel "heat" from
laser beam, it can still potentially injure or blind you or your audience. Even very small amounts of laser light
are potentially hazardous even at long distances. Laser eye injuries can happen quicker than you can blink. It is
incorrect to think that because these laser entertainment products use high speed scanned laser beams, that
an individual laser beam is safe for eye exposure. It is also incorrect to assume that because the laser light is
moving, it is safe. This is not true.
Since eye injuries can occur instantly, it is critical to prevent the possibility of any direct eye exposure. It is not
legal to aim this laser projector into areas where people can be exposed. This is true even if it is aimed below
people's faces, such as on a dance floor.
• Do not operate the laser without first reading and understanding all safety and technical data in this manual.
• Always set up and install all laser effects so that all laser light is at least 3 metres (9.8 feet) above the floor on which
people can stand. See the "Proper Usage" section later in this manual.
• After set up, and prior to public use, test the laser to ensure proper function. Do not use if any defect is detected.
• Laser Light - Avoid Eye or Skin Exposure to Direct or Scattered Light.
• Do not point lasers at people or animals.
• Never look into the laser aperture or laser beams.
• Do not point lasers in areas where people can potentially be exposed, such as uncontrolled balconies, etc.
• Do not point lasers at highly reflective surfaces, such as windows, mirrors and shiny metal objects. Even laser
reflections can be hazardous.
• Never point a laser at aircraft, as this is a US Federal Offense.
• Never point un-terminated laser beams into the sky.
• Do not expose the output optic (aperture) to cleaning chemicals.
• Do not use the laser if the housing is damaged, open, or if the optics appear damaged in any way.
• Never leave this device running unattended.
• In the United States, this laser product may not be purchased, sold, rented, leased or loaned for use unless the
recipient possesses a valid Class 4 laser light show variance from the US FDA CDRH.
• This product must always be operated by a skilled and well-trained operator who is familiar with the valid Class 4 laser
light show variance from the CDRH as stated above.
• 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 appropriate lightning safety cables when hanging this projector overhead.
