Safety rules for laser lights
The laser light/laser radiation used in the GMC REDEYE® system is Class 2 with maximum 1mW power and 650nm wavelength. 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.
CAUTION. Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Please refer to the relevant Australian standards, AS 2397 and AS/NZS2211 for more information on Lasers.
General safety rules
WARNING. Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool.
Save these instructions 1. Work area
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and
dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools 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.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
