The laser output is specified as a maximum of 44.6 LW* measured at 200 mm from the objective lens.
In the United States and Canada the unit requires 120 V AC at 60 Hz; in Europe 220‑230 V AC at 50/60 Hz; in Australia 240 V AC at 50/60 Hz.
Insert a tapering driver into the bottom aperture and turn it in the direction of the arrow to open; turn the driver in the opposite direction to close.
AC leakage from any exposed metal part to earth ground must not exceed 0.5 mA, and can be measured with a leakage tester, a battery‑operated AC milliammeter, or by measuring voltage drop across a resistor.
