SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER TOOLS

When using power tools, always observe the safety regulations applicable in your
country to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury. Read the following
safety instructions before attempting to operate this product. Keep these instructions in
a safe place.

Safety Instructions for Lasers

WARNING! Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING! Laser Radiation Exposure. Do not disassemble or modify the laser

level. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Serious eye injury could result.

WARNING: Hazardous Radiation. Use of controls or adjustments or performance

of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation
exposure.

• Do not operate the laser 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.

• Use the laser only with the specifically designated batteries. Use of any other
batteries may create a risk of fire.

• Store idle laser out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Lasers
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

• Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitable for one laser, may create a risk of injury

when used on another laser.

• Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel may result in injury. To locate
your nearest DeWALT service center call (AUS) 1800 654 155 or (NZ) 09 526
2556 or go to www.dewalt.com.au on the Internet.

• Do not use optical tools such as a telescope or transit to view the laser beam.
Serious eye injury could result.

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

• Turn the laser off when it is not in use. Leaving the laser on increases the risk

of staring into the laser beam.

• Do not disassemble the laser tool. There are no user serviceable parts inside.

• Do not modify the laser in any way. Modifying the tool may result in Hazardous

Laser Radiation Exposure.

• Do not operate the laser around children or allow children to operate the
laser. Serious eye injury may result.

• Do not remove or deface warning labels. Removing labels increases the risk of

exposure to radiation.

• Position the laser securely on a level surface. Damage to the laser or serious
injury could result if the laser falls.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities contains chemi cals known to the State of California to
cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproduc tive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based paints,

• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber (CCA).

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.

• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding,

drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash
exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes,

or lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.

WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse dust, which may cause
serious and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved
respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from
face and body.

• The label on your tool may include the following symbols.

V ................................... volts

mW ............................... milliwatts

nm ................................. wavelength in nanometers

II .................................... Class II Laser

IIIa ................................. Class IIIa Laser

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. 230 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 D

EWALT 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.

Extension Cords

CAUTION: Use only extension cords that are approved by the country’s Electrical
Authority. Before using extension cords, inspect them for loose or exposed wires,
damaged insulation and defective fittings. Replace the cord if necessary.

WARNING LABELS

For your convenience and safety, the following label is on your laser.

CAUTION: LASER RADIATION - DO NOT STARE INTO THE LASER BEAM.
CLASS II LASER PRODUCT.
CAUTION: CLASS 2 LASER RADIATION WHEN OPEN DO NOT STARE INTO
THE BEAM.
