Hi i have opened my xbox and on the case of the dvd drive it says "Class 3b visible and invisible laser radiation when open avoid exposure to the beam" does this mean i should wear eye protection when hot swapping?

No, you dont. The only reason you would is if you were to literally put your eye in front of the beam
