LASERSAFETY
Laser Light is different from any other light source with which you may be familiar. The light from this product can potentially
cause eye 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 power 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 a 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 wrong to assume that a single beam of a bundle of hundreds by the laser beams made, it cannot cause injury.
It is also incorrect to assume that it is safe to look at a moving beam. In the laser safety regulation, it is not legal to aim Class
3B lasers in areas which people can get exposed also on a dance floor.
Caution:
Do not point lasers at people or animals.
•
Never look into the laser aperture or laser beams, this can potentially cause instant eye injury or blindness if laser light
•
directly strikes the eyes.
Do not point lasers in areas in which people can potentially get exposed, such as uncontrolled balconies, etc.
•
Install the laser units such that laser beams above the audience move See section later in this manual.
•
Test the laser units always first before the public is present.
•
•
Do not point lasers into the public or at highly reflective surfaces such as windows, mirrors and shiny metal. Even laser
reflections can be hazardous.
•
Never point a laser at aircraft or into the sky, this is a federal offense.
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous
•
radiation exposure.
Do not expose the output optic (aperture) to cleaning chemicals.
•
•
The operation of a laser is only allowed if the show is controlled by a skilled and well-trained operator familiar with the
requirements that are needed.
•
Do not use laser if housing is damaged or open, or if optics appear damaged in any way.
Never leave this device running unattended.
•
Always use appropriate lighting safety cables when hanging lights and effects overhead.
•
The legal requirements for using laser entertainment products vary from country to country. The user is responsible for the leg al
requirements at the location/country of use.
This unit contains laser components with high power, live parts and parts that emit radiation. Therefore, DO NOT
OPEN the housing, THIS CAN BE FATAL. It can also cause blindness, skin burns and fires.
Eye damage occurs faster than you can blink your eyes.
Further guidelines and safety programs for safe use of lasers can be found in the ANSI Z136.1 Standard "For Safe Use of
Lasers", available from "www.laserinstitute.org". Many local governments, corporations, agencies, military and others, require all
lasers to be used under the guidelines of ANSI Z136.1. Laser Display guidance can be obtained via the International Laser
Display Association, www.laserist.org.
Attention! The use in France is only allowed to the professional user and not to the end
user. See decision: www.legifrance.gouv.fr
Read for the commissioning of the laser all safety instructions and
technical data of this manual carefully and thoroughly.
