GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING!

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

 Fail-

ure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in 
electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

CAUTION:

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of pro-
cedures other than those specified herein may result in 
hazardous radiation exposure.

CAUTION:

The use of an optical instrument with this product will 
increase eye hazard.

The laser guide radiation used in the laser level attachment 
is Class IIIa with < 5mW and 635 nm wavelengths. These 
lasers do not normally present an optical hazard, although 
staring at the beam may cause flash blindness.

Avoid direct eye exposure when using the laser and do 
not project the laser beam directly into the eyes of others. 
Serious eye injury could result.

Do not remove or deface any product labels. Removing 
product  labels  increases  the  risk  of  exposure  to  laser 
radiation.

Do not place the unit in a position that may cause anyone 
to stare into the laser beam intentionally or unintentionally. 
Serious eye injury could result.

Do not operate the laser level around children or allow 
children to operate the tool. Serious eye injury could re-
sult. 

Always turn the laser level off when not in use. Leaving 
the tool on increases the risk of someone inadvertently 
staring into the laser beam.

Do not operate the unit in combustible areas such as in 
the presence of flammable liquids, gasses, or dust.

Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a surface with-
out reflective properties. Shiny reflective materials are not 
suitable for laser use.

When using the base, always check to be sure the unit is 
securely seated. Damage to the tool and/or serious injury 
to the user could result if the unit falls.

Handle the unit with care. Treat it as you would any other 
optical device such as a camera or binoculars.

Avoid exposing the unit to shock, continuous vibration, 
or extreme hot or cold temperatures. Damage to the tool 
and/or serious injury to the user could result.

Save  these  instructions.  Refer  to  them  frequently  and 
use them to instruct others who may use this product. If 
you loan someone this unit, loan them these instructions 
also.
