WARNING:
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to
follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious personal injury.
CAUTION:
Use of controls or adjustments or perfor mance of pro-
cedures other than those specified herein may result in
hazardous radiation exposure.
 The laser guide radiation used in the thermometer is
Class II with < 1mW and 630-670nm wavelengths.
 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.
 Do not remove or deface any prod uct labels. Remov-
ing product labels increases the risk of exposure to laser
radiation.
 Do not place the instrument in a position that may
cause anyone to stare into the laser beam intentionally
or unintention ally. Serious eye injury could result.
 Do not operate the thermometer around children or
allow children to operate the tool. Serious eye injury
could result.
 Do not use for medical evaluations or to measure body
temperature. This product is meant for household use
only.
 Do not use this product as a precision thermometer.
 Do not operate the instrument in com bustible areas
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gasses,
or dust.
 Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a surface
without reflective proper ties. Shiny reflective materials
are not suitable for laser use.
 The laser shall be used and maintained in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions.
  Never aim the beam at a person or object other than
the target surface.
 This product should not be used without the battery
cap installed.
 Handle the instrument with care. Treat it as you would
any other optical device such as a camera or binoculars.
 Avoid exposing the instrument to shock, continuous
vibration, or extreme hot or cold temperatures. Dam-
age to the product and/or serious injury to the user could
result.
 Use battery only with charger listed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
 Do not use the product if the trigger does not turn it
on and off.
 Use the product in accordance with these instructions
and in the manner intended for the product, taking
into account the working conditions and the work
to be performed. Use of the product for operations
different from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
 Recharge battery only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
 Use battery products only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury and fire.
 When servicing a battery product, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized
parts or failure to follow Maintenance instructions may
create a risk of shock or injury.
 Know your battery product. Read operator’s manual
carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well
as the specific potential hazards related to this power
tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock, fire, or serious injury.
 Do not place battery products or their batteries near
fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and
possibly injury.
 Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not
use a battery pack or charger that has been dropped
or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject
to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged
battery immediately.
 Batteries can explode in the presence of a source
of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, never use any cordless product
in the presence of open flame. An exploded battery can
propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water
immediately.
 Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet location.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.
 For best results, your battery tool should be charged
in a location where the temperature is more than 50°F
but less than 94°F. To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, do not store outside or in vehicles.
 Under extreme usage or temperature conditions,
battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact
with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water.
If liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water
for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical
attention. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious
personal injury.
 Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use
them to instruct others who may use this product. If you
loan someone this instrument, loan them these instructions
also.
