•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 meters
(9.8 ft) above the floor on which people can stand. See “Proper Usage” section later in this manual.
•After set up, and prior to public use, test laser to ensure proper function. Do not use if any defect is detected. Do not use if laser emits only one or two laser beams rather than dozens/hundreds, as this could indicate damage to the diffraction grating optic, and could allow emission of higher laser levels above Class 3R.
•Do not point lasers at people or animals.
•Never look into the laser aperture or laser beams.
•Do not point lasers in areas in which people can potentially get exposed, such as uncontrolled balconies, etc.
•Do not point lasers at highly reflective surfaces, such as windows, mirrors and shiny metal. Even laser reflections can be hazardous.
•Never point a laser at aircraft, this is a federal offense.
•Never point
•Do not expose the output optic (aperture) to cleaning chemicals.
•Do not use laser if the laser appears to be emitting only one or two beams.
•Do not use the laser if the housing is damaged, open, or if the optics appear damaged in any way.
•Never open the laser housing. The high laser power levels inside of the protective housing can start fires, burn skin and will cause instant eye injury.
•Never leave this device running unattended.
•The operation of a class 3R laser show is only allowed if the show is controlled by a skilled and
•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 lighting safety cables when hanging lights and effects overhead.
LASER EXPOSURE WARNING
LASER LIGHT AVOID DIRECT EYE EXPOSURE
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.
