Laser Safety

The maximum allowable power output in a rotating construction Laser is 5 milliwatts or less. A milliwatt is 1/1000th of a watt, a very small amount of power. The light is concentrated however, and the following precautions should be taken when using such an instrument:

  • Do not stare into a laser beam or view it directly with optical instruments.
  • Do not disassemble the laser or attempt to service it.
  • Do not use the laser until you have read the instruction manual and you are familiar with the operation of the instrument.
  • The laser should be set up above head level and never intentionally aimed at anyone.
  • The laser should be turned off when not being used.
