This manual contains important laser system safety and operation information. Read and understand all instructions prior to powering on laser unit the first time, to avoid laser eye injury and to avoid breaking the law. Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

WARNING DATA
Lasers can be hazardous and have unique safety considerations. Permanent eye injury and blindness is possible if lasers are used incorrectly. Pay close attention to each safety REMARK and WARNING statement in the user manual. Read all instructions carefully BEFORE operating this device.

LASER SAFETY WARNINGS

Potential laser injury hazard exists with this product! Read these instructions carefully, which includes important information about installation, safe use and service!

Caution

Avoid direct eye contact with laser light. Never intentionally expose your eyes or others to direct laser light..
This laser product can potentially cause instant eye injury or blindness if laser light directly strikes the eyes.
It is illegal and dangerous to shine this laser into audience areas, where the audience or other personnel could get direct laser beams or bright reflections into their eyes.
It is an offense to shine any laser at aircraft.
There are no user serviceable parts inside the unit. Do not open the housing or attempt any repairs yourself. In the unlikely event your unit may require service, please contact your dealer..
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

NON-INTERLOCKED HOUSING WARNING
This unit contains high power laser devices internally. Do not open the laser housing, due to potential exposure to unsafe levels of laser radiation. The laser power levels accessible if the unit is opened can cause instant blindness, skin burns and fires.

LASER SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

STOP AND READ ALL LASER SAFETY DATA
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 incorrect to think that because these laser entertainment products split the laser into hundreds of beams or laser beam is scanned out in high speed, that an individual laser beam is safe for eye exposure. This laser product uses dozens of mini Watts of laser power (Class 3B levels internally). Many of the individual beams are potentially hazardous to the eyes. It is also incorrect to assume that because the laser light is moving, it is safe. This is not true. Nor, do the laser beams always move. Since eye injuries can occur instantly, it is critical to prevent the possibility of any direct eye exposure. In the laser safety regulation, it is not legal to aim Class 3B lasers in areas which people can get exposed. This is true even if it is aimed below people’s faces, such as on a dance floor.

Do not operate 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 feet) above the floor on which people can stand. See 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.
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 un-terminated laser beams into the sky
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 laser if housing is damaged or open, or if 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 3B laser show laser is only allowed if the show is controlled by a skilled and well-trained operator familiar with the data included in this manual.
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.
