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.

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.
