Safety Precautions – Laser

There is a risk of injury through dazzling the eyes when working with the laser in the laser distance meter. Therefore regard the following:

  • Do not direct the laser beam towards persons, doors or windows.
  • Never look directly into the laser beam.

 

Laser class 2

The accessible laser radiation is within the visible spectral range (from 400 to 700 nm). If the exposure is brief (up to 0.25 s), it is not dangerous to the eyes. Additional radiation outside the wavelength range from 400 to 700 nm fulfills the conditions for laser class 1. For extended or diffuse sources, a correction factor can be used.
