Caution
• Perform checks at start of work and periodic checks and adjustments with the laser beam emitted
under normal conditions.
• When the instrument is not being used, turn off the power and replace the lens cap.
• When disposing of the instrument, destroy the battery connector so that the laser beam cannot be
emitted.
• Operate the instrument with due caution to avoid injuries that may be caused by the laser beam
unintentionally striking a person in the eye. Avoid setting the instrument at heights at which the path
of the laser beam may strike pedestrians or drivers at head height.
• Never point the laser beam at mirrors, windows or surfaces that are highly reflective. The reflected
laser beam could cause serious injury.

• Accident reporting procedures (stipulate procedures beforehand for transporting the injured and
contacting physicians in case there are laser induced injuries).
• Persons working within the range of the laser beam are advised to wear eye protection which
corresponds to the laser wavelength of the instrument being used
• Areas in which the lasers are used should be posted with laser warning notices.
