Notes
Laser light is different from any other light sources 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 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
dozens of beams and the laser beams are scanned out in high speed, that an individual
laser beam is safe for eye exposure. This laser product uses dozens of milliwatts of laser
power (Class 3B levels internally) before it splits into multiple beams (Class IIIa levels).
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 IIIa 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.

laser radiation.
blindness, skin burns, and fires.
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 feet)
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 lens is damaged or missing, as this could indicate damage to the
diffraction grating optic, and could allow emission of higher laser levels above Class IIIa.
Do not use laser if the laser appears to be emitting only one or two beams.
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 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 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 IIIa laser show 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.
