DANGER: LASER RADIATION !

Avoid direct eye exposure! Laser radiation can cause eye damage and/or skin damage. All protective measures for a safe operation of this laser must be applied.

• This product is a so-called show laser, emitting radiation with a wavelength spectrum between 400 and 700 nm and producing lighting effects for shows.
• Due to the construction of this laser, the beam is moved so fast, that it can only hit the eye very short. This is why the use of this laser for a Laser-Light-Show can be regarded as save.
• Never direct the laser beam to people or animals and never leave this device running unattended.
• This laser may only be used for shows. The operation of a class 3R show laser is only allowed if the operation is controlled by a skilled and well-trained operator.
• Depending on the classification, operating a laser product can produce laser radiation that may cause permanent eye damage and/or skin damage. The legal instructions for using a laser product vary from country to country. The user must always inform himself on the legal instructions valid in his country and apply them to his situation.
