• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. Proper footing and balance enables
better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Depending on the work conditions,
wearing protective equipment such as a dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, and hearing
protection will reduce personal injury.
Tool Use and Care
• Do not use the laser if the Power/Transport Lock
switch does not turn the laser on or off. Any tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
• Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of
this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to
follow Maintenance instructions may create a risk of
electric shock or injury.
Battery Safety
WARNING:
Batteries can explode, or leak, and
can cause injury or fire. To reduce this risk:
• Carefully follow all instructions and warnings on the
battery label and package, and the accompanying
Battery Safety manual.
• Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
• Keep batteries out of reach of children.
• Remove batteries when the device is not in use.
• Use only the charger specified for your rechargeable
battery pack.
• Disconnect the battery pack from the laser before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing the laser. Such preventative safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the laser accidentally.
• Use the laser only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of other battery packs may create
a risk of injury and fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from
the battery may cause irritation or burns.
• Do not use a battery pack or laser that is damaged
or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may
exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire,
explosion, or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or laser to fire
or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 265 °F (130 °C) may cause
an explosion.
• Follow all the charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack outside of the temperature
range specified in the instructions. Charging
improperly or at temperatures outside of the
specified range may damage the battery and
increase the risk of fire.
