SAFETY

Please read the complete safety instructions in the booklet delivered with this device.

Use extreme caution when the laser beam is turned on.

Do not let the beam enter your eyes, another person’s eyes or the eyes of an animal. Be careful that reflections

of the beam (on a reflective surface) do not strike your eyes.

Do not aim the laser beam at any gas that may explode.
