HEALTH HAZARD

WARNING
RISK OF ACCIDENT / INJURY FOR CHILDREN
Do not place the electric torch in the hands of children or persons hindered by medication, drugs, or physical or mental disabilities, as there is a risk of damage to the eyes and a risk of accidents.

For this reason:

• Do not allow children to play with the torch.

WARNING
RISK OF GLARE
The strong glare effect of the lamp may cause a temporary impairment of eyesight and after-images that may lead to irritations, impairments or accidents.

• Do not direct the light beam onto persons or animals, as they may be blinded.
• Do not use any strongly focussing instruments to view the light beam.
• Do not use multiple electric torches at the same time, as this increases the optical radiation and thus the risk of retinal damage.
• Instruct commercial users or users in the public sector in the applicable laws and regulations.

What should I do:

1. If a light beam strikes your eyes, deliberately close them and move your head away from the light
   beam.

CAUTION
