GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING!
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Fail-
ure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
CAUTION:
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of pro-
cedures other than those specified herein may result in
hazardous radiation exposure.
CAUTION:
The use of an optical instrument with this product will
increase eye hazard.
The laser guide radiation used in the laser level attachment
is Class IIIa with < 5mW and 635 nm wavelengths. These
lasers do not normally present an optical hazard, although
staring at the beam may cause flash blindness.
n
Avoid direct eye exposure when using the laser and do
not project the laser beam directly into the eyes of others.
Serious eye injury could result.
n
Do not remove or deface any product labels. Removing
product labels increases the risk of exposure to laser
radiation.
n
Do not place the unit in a position that may cause anyone
to stare into the laser beam intentionally or unintentionally.
Serious eye injury could result.
n
Do not operate the laser level around children or allow
children to operate the tool. Serious eye injury could re-
sult.
n
Always turn the laser level off when not in use. Leaving
the tool on increases the risk of someone inadvertently
staring into the laser beam.
n
Do not operate the unit in combustible areas such as in
the presence of flammable liquids, gasses or dust.
n
Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a surface with-
out reflective properties. Shiny reflective materials are not
suitable for laser use.
n
When using the base, always check to be sure the unit is
securely seated. Damage to the tool and/or serious injury
to the user could result if the unit falls.
n
Handle the unit with care. Treat it as you would any other
optical device such as a camera or binoculars.
n
Avoid exposing the unit to shock, continuous vibration
or extreme hot or cold temperatures. Damage to the tool
and/or serious injury to the user could result.
n
The amount of weight being supported by the vacuum
base and/or helping hand should not exceed product
specifications. A greater weight may cause the product
to fail, which could cause damage to both the unit and
the workpiece being supported.
n
When using the magnetic base, be cautious of putting
too many or too heavy objects on the surface.
n
Do not look directly into the LEDs on the lighting attach-
ment. The brightness of the light could cause temporary
blindness.
n
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and
use them to instruct others who may use this product. If
you loan someone this unit, loan them these instructions
also.
