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 re. If in doubt, seek advice from a regis‐

tered electrician.

DANGER!

Laser radiation – avoid exposure to beam

The device uses a class-3R laser, classied 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 to the laser beam. The laser beam can cause skin

burns.

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

Features

Star Shot Laser FX

LED eect

For technological reasons, the light output of LEDs decreases over their lifetime. This eect

increases with higher operating temperature. You can extend the service life of the illuminants

by providing adequate ventilation and operating the LEDs with the lowest possible brightness.
