ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES – 

cont’d 

 

When replacing the blade, make sure the 

replacement blade is 7 1/4" in diameter and 

is rated for at least 5,400 RPM. Installing an 

incorrect blade will result in possible injury and 

poor cutting action. 

 

After changing a blade or making 

adjustments, make sure the blade clamp 

screw is securely tightened. Loose blades 

and adjustment devices will be violently thrown. 

 

Never touch the blade during or immediately 

after use. After use the blade is too hot to be 

safely touched with bare hands. 

 
      

DANGER:

 Never use the laser in the 

presence of small children. Small children may 

stare directly into the laser light beam and cause 

serious eye injury. 

 
      

DANGER:

 The laser light beam that is 

projected from the front of the laser level can be 

dangerous to eyesight. Never allow anyone to 

stare directly into the light. Staring directly into 

the light beam may result in serious eye 

damage. 

 

     DANGER

: Always remove the battery when 

changing the blade.
