IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS.

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fi re and/or
serious injury.

Save these instructions - This operator’s manual contains important safety and operating
instructions for the MILWAUKEE 12V 2-Beam Plumb Laser. Before using the Plumb Laser,
read this operator’s manual, your battery pack and charger operator’s manual, and all labels
on the battery pack, charger and Plumb Laser.

LASER SAFETY

• Laser light - Do not stare into beam or view
directly with optical instruments. Do not point
laser light at others. Laser light can cause eye

damage.

• Avoid exposure to laser radiation. Laser may
emit hazardous radiation.

• Do not point laser at refl ective surfaces. Un-
predictable results may occur.

WORK AREA SAFETY

• Keep children and bystanders away while
operating Plumb Laser. Store idle plumb laser
out of the reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the tool or these
instructions to operate them.

• Avoid dangerous environments. Do not use

in rain, snow, damp or wet locations. Do not
use in the presence of explosive atmospheres
(gaseous fumes, dust or fl ammable materials)
because sparks may be generated when inserting
or removing battery pack, possibly causing fi re.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating plumb laser.
Do not use while you are tired or under the
infl uence of drugs, alcohol or medication.

A moment of inattention may result in serious
personal injury.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control

in unexpected situations.

BA TTER Y USE AND CARE

• Plumb Laser is rated for 12 V DC only. Use only
appropriate MILWAUKEE battery packs. Use of
any other battery packs may create a risk of injury
and fi re.

• Remove the battery pack before storing. Store

in a cool, dry place. Do not store where tem-

peratures may exceed 120°F (50°C) such as in
direct sunlight, a vehicle or metal building during
the summer.

• Recharge only with the charger specifi ed by

the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for

one type of battery pack may create a risk of fi re
when used with another battery pack.

SERVICE

• Have your Plumb Laser serviced by a qualifi ed
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the tool

is maintained.

• Do not disassemble. Incorrect reassembly may
result in the risk of electric shock or fi re. If it is dam-
aged, take it to a MILWAUKEE service facility.

• Store in a cool, dry place. Do not store where
temperatures may exceed 120°F (50°C) such as
in direct sunlight, a vehicle or metal building during
the summer.

• Do not remove or deface labels. Maintain
labels and nameplates. These carry important

information. If unreadable or missing, contact a
MILWAUKEE service facility for a free replace-

ment.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING T o reduce the risk of injury ,

always unplug the charger and remove the
battery pack from the charger or tool before
performing any maintenance. Never disas­semble the tool, battery pack or charger.
Contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for
ALL repairs.

Maintaining Tool

Keep your tool, battery pack and charger in good re­pair by adopting a regular maintenance program.

If the tool does not start or operate at full power
with a fully charged battery pack, clean the contacts
on the battery pack. If the tool still does not work
properly, return the tool, charger and battery pack,
to a MILWAUKEE service facility for repairs.

Checking Accuracy of the Plumb Laser

With a ceiling height of 10’ to 20', turn on the
plumb laser.

Step A - Mark the location of the top and bottom
beams.

Step B - Rotate the plumb laser 180° and line up
the bottom beam with the mark made in Step A.
The top beam should line up with the mark from
Step A. If they do not line up, the laser is out of
plumb. If this happens, contact a MILWAUKEE
service facility.

WARNING To reduce the risk of per-

sonal injury and damage, never immerse your
tool, battery pack or charger in liquid or allow
a liquid to fl ow inside them.

Cleaning the Laser Windows

in alcohol to keep them clean and clear. Remove
battery pack before cleaning.

RÈGLES IMPORTANTES DE SÉCURITÉ

AVERTISSEMENT LIRE TOUTES LES RÈGLES ET INSTRUCTIONS

DE SÉCURITÉ.

Ne pas suivre l’ensemble des règles et instructions peut entraîner une électrocution, un in­cendie ou des blessures graves.

Conserver ces instructions – Ce manuel contient des instructions importantes de sécurité
et de fonctionnement pour le laser vertical à deux faisceaux de 12 V de MILWAUKEE. Avant
d’utiliser le laser vertical, lire le présent manuel d’utilisation ainsi que les manuels d’utilisation
de la batterie et du chargeur, de même que toutes les étiquettes attachée à la batterie, au
chargeur et au laser vertical.

INSTRUCTIONS DE SÉCURITÉ

RELA TIVES AU LASER

• Lampe laser – Ne pas fi xer directement le
faisceau ou l’examiner directement au moyen
d’instruments d’optique. Ne pas diriger la lam­pe laser vers les autres personnes. La lampe

laser peut provoquer des lésions oculaires.

• Éviter de s’exposer au rayonnement laser.

Le laser peut émettre des rayonnements dan­gereux.

• Ne pas diriger le laser vers des surfaces ré-

fl échissantes. Ne pas respecter cette directive
peut entraîner des situations imprévues.

SÉCURITÉ DU LIEU DE TRA VAIL

• S’assurer que les enfants et les curieux se
trouvent à une bonne distance au moment
d’utiliser le laser vertical. Entreposer le la­ser vertical électrique hors de la portée des
enfants et interdire à quiconque de l’utiliser
si la personne ne connaît pas bien le produit
ou les instructions.

• Éviter les environnements dangereux. Ne pas

exposer l’unité à la pluie ou à la neige et ne pas
l’utiliser dans un endroit humide ou mouillé. Ne
pas utiliser l’unité dans un endroit propice aux
explosions (fumées gazeuses, poussières ou
matériaux infl ammables); l’insertion ou le retrait
de la batterie pourrait alors créer des étincelles,
ce qui risque de causer un incendie.

SÉCURITÉ INDIVIDUELLE

• Rester vigilant, se concentrer sur son tra­vail et faire preuve de bon sens au moment
d’utiliser le laser vertical. Ne pas utiliser cet
appareil en cas de fatigue ou sous l’infl uence
de l’alcool, de drogues ou de médicaments.

Un moment d’inattention pendant l’utilisation de
ce produit peut résulter en une blessure grave.

• Ne pas travailler hors de portée. Se tenir bien

campé et en équilibre en tout temps. Cela

permet un meilleur contrôle en cas d’imprévus.

UTILISATION ET ENTRETIEN

DE LA BATTERIE

• Le laser vertical convient à une tension de

12 V c.c. seulement. Utiliser uniquement les

batteries appropriées de marque MILWAUKEE.
L’utilisation de toute autre batterie peut créer un
risque de blessures et d’incendie.

• Retirer la batterie avant l’entreposage. En­treposer le produit dans un endroit frais et
sec. Ne pas l’entreposer dans des endroits où

la température peut dépasser 50 °C (120 °F)
par exemple, un endroit exposé directement à la
lumière du soleil, un véhicule ou une construction
en métal pendant l’été.

• Ne recharger la batterie qu’avec le chargeur
spécifi é par le fabricant. Un chargeur qui con-

vient à un type de batterie peut créer un risque
d’incendie s’il est utilisé avec un autre type de
batterie.

ENTRETIEN

• Confi er la réparation du laser vertical à un
réparateur qualifi é qui utilise des pièces de
rechange identiques aux pièces d’origine, ce

qui préservera la sûreté de l’outil.

• Ne pas désassembler le produit. Un remon­tage inapproprié peut résulter en un risque de
décharge électrique ou d’incendie. En cas de
dommage, confi er le produit à un centre de
service MILWAUKEE.

• Entreposer le produit dans un endroit frais
et sec. Ne pas l’entreposer dans des endroits

où la température peut dépasser 50 °C (120 °F)
