1.3 Safety instructions for damage and operation

• If the housing or lens of the laser module are damaged, this can - un-

der certain circumstances - result in laser radiation of a higher class

being emitted that is hazardous to your eyes.

• Do not switch the device on if the housing, lens or power supply are

damaged.

• Please note that looking into the laser beam can cause dazzling and

that the operating state of machines such as rotating saws cannot be

unambiguously identiﬁed.

• Never operate the laser module in an area with a risk of explosion.

• Never modify the laser module.

1.4 Risk assessment

Note that the output stated on the type plate reﬂects the nominal output of the laser

beam source.

However, the risk that emanates from a laser depends on the output of the device or the

maximum possible means strength at a distance of 70 mm or 100 mm from the beam

source. Thus, the hazard presented by our line or crosshair lens laser modules of the

laser class 3R is equivalent to that of class 2 or 1 laser just a few centimetres behind the

permissible measuring distance.

As the manufacturer, we are obliged to classify our devices to reﬂect their maximum out-

put or radiation level. The operator can, however, install safety equipment that reﬂects

the actual risk occurring at the place of use. For example, if the laser is mounted at an

inaccessible height, the risk that emanates from our laser modules with line or crosshair

lens is far lower than the typical risk for the stated laser class. On site, these differences

can easily be determined by measuring the maximum accessible beam.

Following installation and commissioning, the complete system can often be assigned

to a lower risk class than the laser itself.

2. Intended use

This laser module supports the projection of a laser line (L Series) or laser cross (C

Series). The laser is suitable for aligning and positioning workpieces. The operator is

responsible for ensuring intended use.

The device must be used by qualiﬁed, authorised and trained staff only. Any person wor-
