Laser
•
When operating the laser equipment, always make sure that the laser beam is directed so that no
one is in the projection area and that unintentionally reflected beams (e.g., from reflective objects)
cannot be directed into areas where people are present.
•
Laser radiation can be dangerous, if the laser beam or its reflection enters unprotected eyes.
Therefore, before using the laser equipment, familiarise yourself with the statutory regulations and
instructions for operating such a laser device.
•
Never look into the laser beam and never point it at people or animals. Laser radiation can
seriously damage your eyes.
•
If laser radiation enters your eyes, close your eyes immediately and move your head away from
the beam.
