I'm a mobile DJ to trade and having just bought a cheap laser I thought I should get some advice before using it.
First of all its an FX-Labs (By Electrovision) 30mW Scanner. Link - http://www.electrovision.co.uk/homep...e=003301500010
I have a couple of questions about this unit in general. The manual is appauling in that it has absolutly no safety data at all. The manual can be found at the link above.
There is a sticker on the back saying "Class 3B Laser Radiation When Open Avoid Direct Exposure To The Beam" I assume as the beam is being reflected out by mirrors that the unit as a whole is still Class 3B?
My other problem is that after reading the HSE Booklet on Display Lasers. It states by law that all lasers above class 1 must display the laser radiation warning logo, which this doesnt. It only has yellow stickers warning about radiation being emmitted.
I was sold this as being 100% safe and now I'm not so sure so i'm just looking for some advice on if it was actually legal to sell to me in the first place nevermind for me to operate it.
Im looking for opinions of people who have experience in this field so that I can know I wont be at risk of damaging clients eyesight, or my own.
Thanks for reading, just want to make sure you get all the facts
