First and foremost, we are laser enthusiasts. We desire nothing more than
to achieve perfection in our craft. For us, pushing the limits of technology
is part of our daily routine. It’s only impossible if we don’t try.
As we continue to advance in our search for perfection, we’ve set
benchmarks for others to follow and new limits for us to test. This is our
mission. We plan to continually push the boundaries of technology and
create products that challenge the imagination far into the future.
FOREWORD
User’s Manual & Laser Safety Guide | 1
We wanted to create the world’s most powerful handheld laser - we
succeeded and inadvertently set a world record in doing so. We are
extremely proud to be included in the Guinness Book of World Records
for 2007. This will serve as a testament to our commitment to providing the
world with the most sophisticated laser products technology can oer.
Designed and developed by some of the world’s best engineers, the Spyder
Series stands at the pinnacle of laser technology. Lithium powered, water
resistant and ultimately powerful, the Spyder Series is our most advanced
line of handheld lasers to date.
We still have much to prove as there is still a world of possibilities in front of
us. Our quest to turn science ction into reality has only just begun.

Safety and Maintenance
No scheduled maintenance necessary to keep the
product in compliance. Simply keep the laser free
from dust or other contaminates that could cloud or
dirty the laser lens or crystal array and operate within
recommended parameters.
Avoid direct eye and skin exposure to the laser
beam. Direct contact with the beam can instantly
cause severe and irreparable eye damage. Note that
a reected laser beam can be just as powerful as
directly coming from the laser unit itself.
We strongly recommend using the LaserShades that
come with this laser or wearing similar approved laser
safety eyewear.
Do not take apart, modify or dismantle the laser or
operate it under abnormal current load (doing so will
void the warranty). Strictly no service is allowed.
Operate your laser only within the specied
temperature range of 10°C (50°F) to 40°C (104°F).
Should you have diculty operating the laser
properly and troubleshooting does not work, go
to www.wickedlasers.com for support and RMA
assistance if necessary. Do not attempt to service,
modify or x the laser yourself.
Do not shine your laser at an aircraft. It may cause
a distraction to the pilots putting the aircraft’s
passengers at considerable risk. Shooting a laser at
an aircraft is considered a felony in the U.S.
