8. WARNING AND UV SAFETY

General UV Safety Information
UV-A light can cause burn injuries. The exposure to light should be considered with
care.
Unprotected and prolonged exposure to any form of UV light, including UV-A,
can result in skin injuries, cataracts and possibly cancer. Even brief exposure can be
hazardous if the UV intensity is very high.
UV is Dangerous – Protect yourself!
It is advised to always shield the eyes/face. For maximum protection and whenever
possible, hands and arms should also be covered with long sleeves and gloves of a
non-fluorescent material.
• UV Goggles: It is of utter importance to use UV safety glasses. Enclosed with this
lamp, you will find UV safety glasses that absorb 99.9 % of all UV up to 385 nm.
• Visor: To take extra caution, use an UV block visor that absorbs 99.9 % of all UV
up to 385 nm.
• Gloves: Be sure to use gloves that protect you not only from chemicals or cuts,
but also from UV. Make sure that they do not fluoresce.
• Apron: To protect your body in the best way, use an industry apron with 100 %
UV block.
Sensitivity
Certain individuals are naturally hypersensitive to all forms of UV and should avoid
any exposure. In general, if itching, inflammation or other unusual symptoms occur,
UV exposure should cease immediately. People using certain drugs that produce
photosensitivity should avoid exposure to all UV sources.
