2.2 SAFETY 

FEATURES 

 

Aperture Cover

-For Class 3B laser (inclusive) and higher class laser heads, an aperture cover will be supplied.  This cover will block the laser light from exiting the 

laser head.  For Class 3R (inclusive) and lower class laser heads, an aperture cover will not be provided.

 

 

Laser ON LED

-This product has a range indicator LED which also functions as a Laser ON indicator.  When the range LED indicator is on (any color), the laser diode 

is activated.

 

 

2.3 HAZARD 

AREAS 

 

Although the lasers are not considered hazardous during normal operation, 

do not stare directly into the laser beam.  

 

Due to the hazard potential associated with a class 

3R and 3B lasers

, only persons who have received appropriate training should be placed in control of this 

equipment.
