Meredith Instruments is very concerned that you use laser products in a safe manner.
Guidelines
- Never look directly into the laser beam
- Eliminate exposure to reflected laser light
- Operate the laser in a safe, controlled area
Handling
- Don’t adjust the focus on lasers operating in automatic power control mode at full power
- When laser diodes are present, do not operate equipment that may generate high frequency electrical surges
- Do not touch the laser lens, as contamination and scratches may result in distortion and reduced output power
