These lasers do not normally present an optical hazard although staring at the beam may
cause ash blindness.
Do not stare directly at the laser beam. A hazard may exist if you deliberately stare into the
beam, please observe all safety rules as follows:
1. The laser shall be used and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
2. Never aim the beam at any person or an object other than the work piece.
3. The laser beam shall not be deliberately aimed at another person and shall be prevented
from being directed towards the eye of a person for longer than 0.25 seconds area.
4. Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a sturdy work piece without reective surfaces,
e.g. wood or rough-coated surfaces are acceptable. Bright shiny reective sheet steel or
similar is not suitable for laser applications as the reective surface may direct the laser
beam back at the operator.

agent must carry out repairs.
