Safety rules for laser lights
The laser light/laser radiation used in the GMC Redeye
®
system is Class 2 with maximum 1mW and 650nm
wavelengths. These lasers do not normally present an
optical hazard, although staring at the beam may cause
flash blindness.
WARNING. Do not stare directly at the laser beam.
A hazard may exist if you deliberately stare into the beam,
please observe all safety rules as follows;
• The laser shall be used and maintained in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Never aim the beam at any person or an object other
than the workpiece.
• The laser beam shall not be deliberately aimed at
personnel and shall be prevented from being directed
towards the eye of a person for longer than 0.25s.
• Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a sturdy
workpiece without reflective surfaces. I.e. wood or rough
coated surfaces are acceptable. Bright shiny reflective sheet
steel or the like is not suitable for laser use as the reflective
surface could direct the beam back at the operator.
• Do not change the laser light assembly with a different
type. Repairs must be carried out by the laser
manufacturer or an authorised agent.
CAUTION. Use of controls or adjustments or performance
of procedures other than those specified herein may result
in hazardous radiation exposure.
Please refer to the relevant Australian standards, AS 2397
and AS/NZS 2211 for more information on Lasers.
