•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.
•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.
•Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
•Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
•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 intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
•Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair personnel using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Additional safety rules for laser lights
The laser light/laser radiation used in the GMC REDEYE® system is Class 2 with maximum 1mW and 400nm – 700nm wavelengths. These lasers do not normally present an optical hazard, although staring at the beam may cause flash blindness.
WARNING. Do not stare directly at the laser beam.
A hazard may exist if you deliberately stare into the beam. Please observe all safety rules as follows:
•The laser shall be used and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
•Never aim the beam at any person or an object other than the work piece.
•The laser beam shall not be deliberately aimed at personnel and shall be prevented from being directed towards the eye of a person for longer than 0.25s.
•Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a sturdy work piece without reflective surfaces, i.e. wood or rough coated surfaces are acceptable. Bright shiny reflective sheet steel or the like is not suitable for laser use as the reflective surface could direct the beam back at the operator.
•Do not change the laser light assembly with a different type. Repairs must only be carried out by the laser manufacturer or an authorised agent.
