thoroughly before using the Trimble

Although Trimble products are designed for maximum safety, using them incorrectly

.1 Laser safety

WARNING – The Trimble M3 3” and 5” DR total stations are Class 1 laser instruments. The

laser beam is hazardous to the eyes and the body. Do not sight the instrument on the face

or body of a person. If you suspect an injury caused by exposure to the laser beam, seek

medical advice immediately. If the instrument housing is open and the instrument is

turned on, the laser emits a beam stronger than the Class 1 safety level.
