2.7 Operational safety and particular hazards
Please observe the safety notes and the warnings listed here and in other chapters
of this product documentation to reduce the possibility of risks to health and avoid
dangerous situations.
The product is fitted with LEDs in risk group 0. The accessible radiation from these
LEDs does not pose a danger to the eyes or skin.
The product is fitted with LEDs in risk group 1 for object illumination.
CAUTION
Optical radiation: LED risk group 1, visible radiation, 400 nm to 780 nm
The LEDs may pose a danger to the eyes in the event of incorrect use.
■
Do not look into the light source intentionally.
■
Do not open the housing. Opening the housing will not switch off the light source.
Opening the housing may increase the level of risk.
■
Comply with the current national regulations on photobiological security of lamps
and lamp systems.
If the product is operated in conjunction with external illumination systems, the risks
described here may be exceeded. This must be taken into consideration by users on a
case-by-case basis.
Laser alignment aid
CAUTION
Optical radiation: Laser class 1
The accessible radiation does not pose a danger when viewed directly for up to 100
seconds. It may pose a danger to the eyes and skin in the event of incorrect use.
■
Do not open the housing. Opening the housing may increase the level of risk.
■
Current national regulations regarding laser protection must be observed.
Caution – Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than
those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
For both radiation types:
It is not possible to entirely rule out temporary disorienting optical effects, particularly
in conditions of dim lighting. Disorienting optical effects may come in the form of
dazzle, flash blindness, afterimages, photosensitive epilepsy, or impairment of color
vision, for example.
