This device is intended to be used for the projection of laser light effects. It has been designed

exclusively for show applications. Use the device only as described in this user manual. Any

other use or use under other operating conditions is considered to be improper and may result

in personal injury or property damage. No liability will be assumed for damages resulting from

improper use.

showlaser

10

Laser safety requirements are based on DIN EN 60825-1:2015. The corresponding accident pre‐

vention regulation of the Accident Prevention and Insurance Association in Germany is BGV-

B2.

This device contains a class-3B laser. It comes equipped with a safety key and a jack for con‐

necting an external safety switch. Always remove the key when the device is not attended by a

trained operator.

As an operator you are responsible for the safety of all persons present. Familiarize yourself

with the laser safety regulations that apply in your country. To ensure safe operation, it is

important to pay attention to the following instructions.

Prior to commissioning, the company/operator must appoint a qualified person as laser pro‐

tection officer in writing and notify the operation of the laser equipment to the Accident Pre‐

vention and Insurance Association and to the authority responsible for occupational safety. In

the event of public use, the complete laser equipment must be approved by an expert prior to

commissioning.

within reach of babies and young children. Choking hazard!

Ensure that children do not detach any small parts (e.g. knobs or the like) from

the unit. They could swallow the pieces and choke!

Never let children unattended use electrical devices.

DANGER!

Electric shock caused by high voltages inside

Within the device there are areas where high voltages may be present. Never

remove any covers.

There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

Do not use the device if covers, protectors or optical components are missing or

damaged.

DANGER!

Electric shock caused by short-circuit

Always use proper ready-made insulated mains cabling (power cord) with a pro‐

tective contact plug. Do not modify the mains cable or the plug. Failure to do so

could result in electric shock/death or fire. If in doubt, seek advice from a regis‐

tered electrician.

DANGER!

Laser radiation – avoid exposure to beam

The device contains a class-3B laser, classified according to EN 60825-1:2015. Do

not look into the laser beam. The laser beam can injure your eyes when you

directly look into it. Do not expose yourself to the laser beam. The laser beam can

cause skin burns.

In this context take extreme care when using converging optical instruments.

NOTICE!

Power supply

Before connecting the device, ensure that the input voltage (AC outlet) matches

the voltage rating of the device and that the AC outlet is protected by a residual

current circuit breaker. Failure to do so could result in damage to the device and

possibly injure the user.

Unplug the device before electrical storms occur and when it is unused for long

periods of time to reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.

NOTICE!

Possible staining

The plasticiser contained in the rubber feet of this product may possibly react

with the coating of your parquet, linoleum, laminate or PVC floor and after some

time cause permanent dark stains.

In case of doubt, do not put the rubber feet directly on the floor, but use felt-pad

floor protectors or a carpet.
