Safety rules for laserlights

The laser guide used in the tool is Class I with a
maximum output of  1mw and a wavelength of
650nm. The laser guide does not normally present
an optical hazard, although staring at the beam may
cause flash blindness.

USER INFORMATION
CAUTION.

this laser product will increase the chance of eye
damage.

 Do not stare into the laser beam.
 The laser shall be used and maintained in

accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

 Never aim the beam at any person or an object

oth

 Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a

sturdy work piece without a reflective surface,
i.e. wood or rough coated surfaces are
acceptable. Bright shiny reflective sheet or the
like is not suitable for laser use as the reflective
surface could direct the beam back at the
operator.

General safety instructions

WARNING.

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

Save these instructions.

1. Keep guards in place and in working order.

2. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches.

The use of optical instruments with

er than the work piece.

Read and understand all instructions.

3. Keep work area clean.Cluttered areas and benches
invite accidents.

4. Don’t use in dangerous environment. Don’t use

ols in damp or wet locations, or expose

power to
them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.

5. Keep children away. All visitors should be kept

safe distance from work area.

6. Make the workshop kid proof with padlocks,

master switches, or by removing starter keys.

7. Don’t force the tool. It will do the job better and

safer at the rate for which it was designed.

8. Use the right tool. Don’t force tool or attachment

to do a job for which it was not designed.

9. Use the proper extension cord. Make sure your

extension cord is in good condition. When using
an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your product will
draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. The table on page 7 of this manual
shows the correct size to use depending on cord
length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage
number, the heavier the cord.

10. Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose

clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or
other jewelry which may get caught in moving
parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended.
Wear protective hair covering to contain long
hair.

11. Always use safety glasses. Also use face or

dust mask if cutting operating is dusty.
Everyday eyeglasses only have impact
resistant lenses: they are not safety glasses.

12. Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to hold

work when practical. It’s safer than using your
hand and it frees both hands to operate the tool.

13. Don’t overreach. Keep proper footing and

balance at all times.

14. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and

clean for best and safest performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.

15. Disconnect tools before servicing; when
changing accessories, such as blades, bits,
cutters, and the like.

16. Reduce the risk of unintentional starting.
Make sure switch is in “off” position before
plugging in.

17. Use recommended accessories. Consult the
owner’s manual for recommended accessories.
The use of improper accessories may cause
risk of injury to persons.

18. Never stand on tool. Serious injury could
occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool
is unintentionally contacted.

19. Check damaged parts. Before further use of
the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully chec

will operate properly and perform its intended
function – check for alignment of moving par ts,
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that may
affect its operation. A guard or other part that
is damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced.

20. Direction of feed. Feed work into a blade or
cutter against the direction of rotation of the
blade or cutter only.

21. Never leave the tool running unattended.
Turn power off. Don’t leave tool until it comes
to a complete stop.

Electrical safety

• In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,

grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electrical current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord
that has an equipment grounding conductor and
a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged
into a matching outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with ALL local
codes and ordinances.

• Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit

the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.

• Improper connection of the equipment grounding

conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
The conductor with the green insulation (or
without yellow stripes) is the equipment
grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of
the electric cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT
connect the equipment grounding conductor

to

aliveterminal.

• Check with a qualified electrician or service

personnel if you do not completely understand
the grounding instructions, or if you are not sure
the tool is properly grounded.

• Use only a three wire extension cord with a

3-prong grounding type plug and 3-hole
receptacles that accept the tool’s plug as shown
in the diagram.

• Repair or replace damaged or worn cords

immediately.

Extension cords

 Replace damaged cords immediately. Use of

damaged cords can shock, burn or electrocute.

 If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with

adequate size conductors should be used to
prevent excessive voltage drop, loss of power or
overheating. The table shows the correct size to
use, depending on cord length and nameplate
amperage rating of tool. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. Always use U.L. and CSA listed
extension cords.

WARNING. Do not stare directly at the laser beam. Never aim the beam at

any person or an object other than the workpiece.Do not deliberately aim
the beam at personnel and ensure that it is not directed towards the eye
of a person.Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a sturdy workpiece
without reflective surfaces. i.e. wood or rough coated surfaces are
acceptable. Bright shiny
laser use as the reflective surface could direct the beam back at the operator.
