SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR LASERS
WARNING! Read and understand all instructions.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Warning! Laser Radiation Exposure. Do not disassemble
or modify the laser level. There are no user serviceable part
inside. Serious eye injury could result.
Warning! Hazardous Radiation. Use of controls or
adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
♦ Do not operate the laser in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
♦ Use the laser only with the specifically designated
batteries. Use of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.
♦ Store idle laser out of reach of children and other
untrained persons. Lasers are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
♦ Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be
suitable for one laser, may create a risk of injury when used
on another laser.
♦ Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel may result in injury. .
♦ Do not use optical tools such as a telescope or transit to
view the laser beam. Serious eye injury could result.
♦ Do not place the laser in a position which may cause
anyone to intentionally or unintentionally stare into the
laser beam. Serious eye injury could result.
♦ Turn the laser off when it is not in use. Leaving the laser
on increases the risk of staring into the laser beam.
♦ Do not disassemble the laser tool. There are no user
serviceable parts inside.
♦ Do not modify the laser in any way. Modifying the tool may
result in Hazardous Laser Radiation Exposure.
♦ Do not operate the laser around children or allow children
to operate the laser. Serious eye injury may result.
♦ Do not remove or deface warning labels. Removing
labels increases the risk of exposure to radiation.
♦ Position the laser securely on a level surface. Damage
to the laser or serious injury could result if the laser falls.
Warning! Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
♦ lead from lead-based paints,
♦ crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
♦ arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
♦ Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed
areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your
mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote absorption of
harmful chemicals.
Warning! Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse
dust, which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or
other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory
protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles
away from face and body.
