Safety rules for laser lights

The laser light/laser radiation used in the GMC REDEYE® system is Class 1 with maximum 1mW power and 650nm wavelengths. These lasers do not normally present an optical hazard, although staring at the beam may cause flash blindness.

Warning. Do not stare directly at the laser beam. A hazard may exist if you deliberately stare into the beam, please observe all safety rules as follows;

The laser shall be used and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Never aim the beam at any person or an object other than the work piece.

LASER LIGHT. LASER RADIATION

Do not stare into beam.

Only turn laser beam on when tool

is on work piece. Class 1 laser product

The laser beam shall not be deliberately aimed at personnel and shall be prevented from being directed towards the eye of a person for longer than 0.25s.

Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a sturdy work piece without reflective surfaces. i.e. wood or rough coated surfaces are acceptable. Bright shiny reflective sheet steel or the like is not suitable for laser use as the reflective surface could direct the beam back at the operator.

Do not change the laser light assembly with a different type. Repairs must only be carried out by the laser manufacturer or an authorised agent.

Caution. Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

Please refer to the relevant Australian standards, AS 2397 and AS/NZS2211 for more information on Lasers.
