always wear laser safety goggles that are rated to the exact frequency of your laser!!! Sunglasses do not work!!

Never point at humans or animals

Hazardous to eyes

Do not point at any form of vehicle because you are wasting your time!!

Focal point is +- 2-6cm away from laser

30cm + the laser is harmless with the attachment on!
