Do not perform any operation freehand. The workpiece
must be secured firmly against the base and guideforce
with the vice during all operations. Using for hand may
cause sever injury.
Allow blade to reach full speed before cutting.
Warning. Do not stare directly at the laser beam.
A hazard may exist if you deliberately stare into the beam,
please observe all safety rules as follows.
•
The laser shall be used and maintained in accordance with
the manufacturer?s instructions.
•
Never aim the beam at any person or an object other than
the workpiece.
•
The laser beam shall not be deliberately aimed at personnel
and shall be prevented from being directed towards the eye
of a person for longer than 0.25s.
•
Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a sturdy workpiece
without reflective surfaces, i.e. wood or rough coated sur-
faces are acceptable. Bright shiny reflective sheet steel or
