LASER SAFETY

NEVER LOOK INTO THE LASER BEAM. Any contact with the eyes by the beam could cause injury. Do not use the laser when cutting reflective materials.

DO NOT AIM THE LASER BEAM AT ANYONE OR AT REFLECTIVE SURFACES. CLASS 2M LASER PRODUCT. Any contact with the eyes by the beam could cause injury. Ensure the laser beam is turned on only when the tool is on a non- reflective workpiece and as such it is aimed only at the work surface. Metals and other materials like steel which can be highly reflective should only be cut with- out the use of the laser.

STORE OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. Equipment should be in a high location or locked up to keep out of reach of children. It is not a toy.

DO NOT TAMPER WITH THE LASER OUTPUT. Changing the performance of the laser to increase its output is prohibited. Any claim for damages or injuries resulting from not following these instructions will be refused.

NEVER OPERATE LASER IF THE UNIT IS DEFECTIVE OR THE COVER OR SEAL IS DAMAGED.

DO NOT SERVICE LASER. The laser unit must be returned to the factory for any service or repair. Service or repair must be handled by authorized factory trained technicians.

Be careful with this tool. Striking or jarring it, especially on the laser housing, can affect its accuracy.

OPERATING THE LASER

Do not stare into the laser beam. Never aim the beam at any person or an object other than the work piece. The use of optical instru- ments with this laser product will increase the chance of eye damage.

USING THE LASER LIGHT

1.Place the workpiece on the table.

2.Press the laser light ON/OFF switch to the “I” position.

3.To turn the laser light off press the laser light ON/OFF switch to the “O” position.

4.To adjust the laser line turn the laser adjustment knob in a counter-clockwise direction to loosen it and then move it to the left or right until the laser line is in line with blade. Turn the laser adjustment knob in a clockwise direction to tighten.

The laser guide does not normally present an optical hazard, although staring at the beam may cause flash blindness.

The laser shall be used and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

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 defective surface could direct the beam back at the operator.

It may be more difficult to see the laser line in conditions of bright sunshine and on certain surfaces.
