CAUTION Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure. DO NOT remove or deface any warning or caution labels. Removing labels increases the risk of exposure to laser radiation. Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified in this manual, may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

General Safety Rules

WARNINGALWAYS make sure that any bystanders in the vicinity of use are made aware of the dangers of looking directly into the laser tool. DO NOT place the laser tool in a position that may cause anyone to stare into the laser beam intentionally or unintentionally. Serious eye injury could result. ALWAYS position the laser tool securely. Damage to the laser tool and/or serious injury to the user could result if the laser tool fails. ALWAYS use only the accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer of your laser tool. Use of accessories that have been designed for use with other laser tools could result in serious injury. DO NOT use this laser tool for any purpose other than those outlined in this manual. This could result in serious injury. DO NOT leave the laser tool “ON” unattended in any operating mode. DO NOT disassemble the laser tool. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Do not modify the product in any way. Modifying the laser tool may result in hazardous laser radiation exposure. DO NOT use the laser viewing glasses as safety goggles. The laser viewing glasses are used for improved visualization of the laser beam, but they do not protect against laser radiation. DO NOT use the laser viewing glasses as sun glasses or in traffic. The laser viewing glasses do not afford complete UV protection and reduce color perception. DO NOT use any optical tools such as, but not limited to, telescopes or transits to view the laser beam. Serious eye injury could result. DO NOT stare directly at the laser beam or project the laser beam directly into the eyes of others. Serious eye injury could result.

Use of the tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation. Service Have your tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the tool is maintained.
