SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER TOOLS

When using power tools, always observe the safety regulations applicable in your 

country to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury. Read the following 

safety instructions before attempting to operate this product. Keep these instructions in 
a safe place.

 

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 parts 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. To locate 

your nearest DeWALT service center call (AUS) 1800 654 155 or (NZ) 09 526 

2556 or go to www.dewalt.com.au on the Internet.

  •  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.
