Laser Safety and Operating Instructions Stop and read all laser safety data. Laser Light is different from any other light sources with which you may be familiar. The light from this product can potentially cause eye injury if not set up and used properly. Laser light is thousands of times more concentrated than light from any other kind of light source. This concentration of light can cause instant eye injuries, primarily by burning the retina (the light sensitive portion at the back of the eye).
