General Safety Rules For Battery Operated Tools
1.WORK AREA
a.Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
b.Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c.Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2.ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a.Use battery operated tool only with the specifically designed batteries. Use of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.
Battery
This tool is powered by four AA size batteries.
To install batteries:
1.Lift up the battery compartment cover (A) as shown in Figure 1.
2.Insert four fresh AA batteries in the compartment, placing the batteries according to label in battery compartment.
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.
•Always insert batteries correctly with regard to polarity (+ and –), marked on the battery and the equipment.
•Do not short battery terminals.
•Do not charge batteries.
•Do not mix old and new batteries. Replace all of them at the same time with new batteries of the same brand and type.
•Remove dead batteries immediately and dispose of per local codes.
•Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
•Keep batteries out of reach of children.
•Remove batteries if the device will not be used for several months.
3.PERSONAL SAFETY
a.Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b.Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c.Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d.Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e.Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f.Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g.If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust related hazards.
4.POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a.Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b.Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c.Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d.Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e.Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f.Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g.Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5.BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

Electrical Safety
The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only. Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate. 240 V AC means your tool will operate on alternating current. As little as 10% lower voltage can cause loss of power and can result in overheating. All DEWALT tools are factory tested; if this tool does not operate, check the power supply. Your DEWALT tool is double insulated, therefore no earth wire is required.
•Young children and the infirm. This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with this appliance.
•Replacement of the supply cord. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or an authorised DEWALT Service Centre in order to avoid a hazard.
Operating Tips
•Use only new, high-quality, name brand batteries for best results.
•Ensure batteries are in good working condition. If the Low Battery Indicator Light is flashing, the batteries need replacement.
•To extend battery life, turn laser off when not working with or marking the beam.
•To ensure the accuracy of your work, check to make sure your laser is calibrated often. See Field Calibration Check.
•Before attempting to use the laser, make sure the tool is positioned securely and on a smooth surface.
•Always mark the center of the dot or pattern created by the laser.
•Extreme temperature changes may cause movement of internal parts that can affect accuracy. Check your accuracy often while working. See Field Calibration Check section of this manual.
