LASER SAFETY
WARNING
The device produces visible laser
beams, which are emitted from the
tool.
• This device complies with 21 CFR 1040.10 and
1040.11 except for conformance with IEC 60825-1
Ed. 3., as described in Laser Notice No. 56, dated
May 8, 2019.
•Laser light - Do not stare into beam or view di
-
rectly with optical instruments.
Do not point laser
light at others. Laser light can cause eye damage.
WORK AREA SAFETY
• Ensure adequate safeguards at the work site
(e.g. surveying site when measuring on roads,
construction sites, etc.).
• Avoid dangerous environments.
Avoid extended
exposure to rain, snow, damp or wet locations. Do
not use in the presence of explosive atmospheres
(gaseous fumes, dust or flammable materials).
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Do not allow persons unfamiliar with the tool,
these safety instructions, and the tool's opera-
tor's manual to operate the tool.
This tool can be
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
This enables better control
of the tool in unexpected situations.
BATTERY USE
AND CARE
• USE AND CHARGE ONLY REDLITHIUM
®
USB
BATTERIES IN THIS USB RECHARGEABLE
TOOL. OTHER TYPES OF BATTERIES MAY
CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY AND DAMAGE.
• BEFORE USING THE BATTERY AND TOOL,
READ THIS OPERATOR’S MANUAL AND ALL
LABELS ON THE BATTERY AND TOOL.
• USE ONLY WITH LISTED/CERTIFIED ITE
POWER SUPPLY.
Others may result in a risk of fire,
electric shock or personal injury.
• CHARGE IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA
. Do not
block charger vents. Keep them clear to allow proper
ventilation. Do not allow smoking or open flames
near a charging battery. Vented gases may explode.
• MAINTAIN CORD.
When unplugging charger, pull
plug rather than cord to reduce the risk of damage to
the electrical plug and cord. Never carry charger by
its cord. Keep cord from heat, oil and sharp edges.
Make sure cord will not be stepped on, tripped over
or subjected to damage or stress. Do not use charger
with damaged cord or plug. Have a damaged charger
replaced immediately.
• USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ATTACHMENTS.
Use
of an attachment not recommended or sold by the
battery charger or battery manufacturer may result in
a risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury.
• TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
, al-
ways unplug charger before cleaning or maintenance.
• DO NOT BURN OR INCINERATE BATTERY
PACKS.
Battery may explode, causing personal
injury or damage. Toxic fumes and materials are
created when batteries are burned.
• DO NOT CRUSH, DROP, OR DAMAGE
battery. Do
not use a battery or charger that has received a sharp
blow, been dropped, run over, or damaged in any way
(e.g., pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on).
• DO NOT DISASSEMBLE.
Incorrect reassembly
may result in the risk of electric shock, fire or expo
-
sure to battery chemicals. If it is damaged, take it to
a MILWAUKEE service facility.
• BATTERY CHEMICALS CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS.
Never allow contact with skin, eyes, or mouth. If
a damaged battery leaks battery chemicals, use
rubber or neoprene gloves to dispose of it. If skin is
exposed to battery fluids, wash with soap and water
and rinse with vinegar. If eyes are exposed to bat-
tery chemicals, immediately flush with water for 20
minutes and seek medical attention. Remove and
dispose of contaminated clothing.
• DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT.
A battery pack will short
circuit if a metal object makes a connection between
the positive and negative contacts on the battery
pack. Do not place a battery pack near anything that
may cause a short circuit, such as coins, keys or
nails in your pocket. Do not allow fluids to flow into
battery pack. Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as
seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or
bleach containing products, etc., can cause a short
circuit. A short circuited battery pack may cause fire,
personal injury, and product damage.
• STORE YOUR BATTERY AND TOOL
in a cool, dry
place. Do not store battery where temperatures may
exceed 120°F (50°C) such as in direct sunlight, a
vehicle or metal building during the summer.

compatible recycling facility.
•
Maintain labels and nameplates.
These carry
important information. If unreadable or missing,
contact MILWAUKEE for a free replacement.
• The device conforms to the most stringent
requirements of the relevant Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC) Standards and Regulations.
Yet, the possibility of causing interference in other
devices cannot be totally excluded.
