Mini Dekker LZR Laser Warnings and SafetyADJ Products, LLC - www.adj.com - Mini Dekker LZR User Manual Page 6NON-INTERLOCKED HOUSING WARNINGThe Mini Dekker LZR contains internal high-powered laser devices. Do not open the laser housing,as doing so may result in potential exposure to unsafe levels of laser radiation. If the unit is operatedwhile open, the laser device can cause instant blindness, skin burns, and fires.CAREFULLY READ ALL LASER SAFETY DATA, OPERATIONINSTRUCTIONS, AND LASER SAFETY BEFORE OPERATINGTHIS DEVICE!The light source emitted from this product can potentially cause eye injury if not set up and usedproperly. The light source emitted from a laser is very different from any other light sources that maybe encountered in entertainment lighting. Laser light is thousands of times more concentrated thanlight from any other kind of light source. This concentration of light can cause instant eye injuries,primarily by burning the retina (the back of your eyeball containing cells that are sensitive to light).Even if you cannot feel “heat” from a laser beam, it can still potentially injure or blind you or youraudience. Even very small amounts of laser beam light are potentially hazardous even at long dis-tances. Laser eye injuries can be sustained faster than you can blink.Do not assume that because this laser splits the laser beam into hundreds of beams and that thelaser beam is scanned out in high speed, that an individual laser beam is safe for eye exposure. Thislaser uses dozens of milliwatts of laser power (Class 3B levels internally) before it splits into multiplebeams (Class 3R levels). Many of the individual beams are potentially hazardous to the eyes.Do not assume that because the laser light is moving, it is safe. This is not true. Nor do the laserbeams always move. Since eye injuries can occur instantly, it is critical to prevent even the smallestpossibility of any direct eye exposure. According to laser safety regulations, it is illegal to aim Class3R lasers in areas where there is high potential for exposure. This is true even if it is aimed belowpeople’s faces, such as on a dance floor.Do not operate the laser without first reading and understanding all safety and technical datain this manual.Always set up and install all laser effects so that all laser light is at least 3 meters (9.8 feet) above thefloor on which people can stand.
