General Safety Rules; Work Area Safety - Craftsman 320.28223 Operator's Manual

• Be sure the laser beam is aimed at a workpiece (such as wood or rough
coated surfaces) that does not have a reflective surface.
Do not use on surfaces such as sheet steel that have a shiny, reflective
surface. The shiny surface could reflect the beam back at the operator. Be
aware that laser light reflected off of a mirror or any other reflective surfaces
can also be dangerous.
Always turn the laser beam off when not in use. Leaving the tool on
increases the risk of someone inadvertently staring into the laser's beam.
CAUTION: Always follow only the instructions contained in this manual
when using this laser. Use of this feature in any manner other than what appears
in this manual may result in a hazardous radiation exposure.
Do not attempt to modify the performance of this laser device in any way.
This may result in a dangerous exposure to laser radiation.
Always use only the accessories that are recommended by Sears for use
with this product. Use of accessories that have been designed for use with
other laser tools could result in serious injury.
For further information regarding lasers, refer to ANSI-Z136.1 the
STANDARD FOR THE SAFE USE OF LASERS, available from the Laser
institute of America (407) 380-1553.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and / or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term power tool in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• 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.
= Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
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.
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.
