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.
•
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.
Repairs, service or maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel may result in injury. Contact your local certified service
centre or visit www.dewalt.com.au or www.dewalt.co.nz.
•
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.
•
Do not position the laser near a reflective surface which may
reflect the laser beam toward anyone’s eyes. 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 operate the laser around children or allow children to
operate the laser. Serious eye injury may result.
•
Do not remove or deface warning labels. If labels are removed,
user or others may inadvertently expose themselves to radiation.
•
Position the laser securely on a level surface. Damage to the laser
or serious injury could result if the laser falls.
•
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long
hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothing, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Air vents often cover moving parts and should also be avoided.
WARNING: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of
procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous
radiation exposure.
WARNING: DO NOT DISASSEMBLE THE LASER. There are no
user serviceable parts inside. Disassembling the laser will void all
warranties on the product. Do not modify the product in any way.
Modifying the tool may result in hazardous laser radiation exposure.
WARNING: Fire hazard! Avoid short-circuiting the contacts of a
removed battery.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR LASERS
• This laser complies with class 2 according to IEC/ EN 60825-
1:2007. Do not replace a laser diode with a different type. If
damaged, have the laser repaired by an authorised repair agent.
• Do not use the laser for any purpose other than projecting laser
lines.
An exposure of the eye to the beam of a class 2 laser is considered
safe for a maximum of 0.25 seconds. Eyelid reflexes will normally
provide adequate protection. At distances over 1 m, the laser complies
with class 1 and thus is considered completely safe.
• Never look into the laser beam directly and intentionally.
• Do not use optical tools to view the laser beam.
• Do not set up the tool at a position where the laser beam can
cross any person at head height.
• Do not let children come in contact with the laser.
