IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to
follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious personal injury.
CAUTION:
Use of controls or adjustments or perfor mance of pro-
cedures other than those specified herein may result in
hazardous radiation exposure.
 The laser guide radiation used in the thermometer is
Class II with < 1mW and 630-670nm wavelengths.
 Avoid direct eye exposure when using the laser and do
not project the laser beam directly into the eyes of oth-
ers. Serious eye injury could result.
 Do not remove or deface any prod uct labels. Removing
product labels increases the risk of exposure to laser radia-
tion.
 Do not place the instrument in a position that may cause
anyone to stare into the laser beam intentionally or
unintention ally. Serious eye injury could result.
 Do not operate the thermometer around children or
allow children to operate the tool. Serious eye injury could
result.
 Do not use for medical evaluations or to measure body
temperature. This product is meant for household use only.
 Do not use this product as a precision thermometer.
 Do not operate the instrument in com bustible areas
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gasses,
or dust.
 Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a surface
without reflective proper ties. Shiny reflective materials
are not suitable for laser use.
 The laser shall be used and maintained in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions.
 Never aim the beam at a person or object other than the
target surface.
 This product should not be used without the battery cap
installed.
 Handle the instrument with care. Treat it as you would any
other optical device such as a camera or binoculars.
 Avoid exposing the instrument to shock, continuous
vibration, or extreme hot or cold temperatures. Dam-
age to the product and/or serious injury to the user could
result.
 Use battery only with charger listed.

 Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable footing
on a solid surface enables better control of the product in
unexpected situations.
 Do not use the product if the trigger does not turn it on
and off.
 Use the product in accordance with these instructions
and in the manner intended for the product, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the product for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
 Recharge battery only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
 Use battery products only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury and fire.
 When servicing a battery product, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance
section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure
to follow Maintenance instructions may create a risk of shock
or injury.
 Know your battery product. Read operator's manual
carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well
as the specific potential hazards related to this power
tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,
fire, or serious injury.
 Do not place battery products or their batteries near fire
or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and possibly
injury.
 Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not
use a battery pack or charger that has been dropped
or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject
to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged
battery immediately.
 Batteries can explode in the presence of a source
of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, never use any cordless product
in the presence of open flame. An exploded battery can
propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water
immediately.
 Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet location.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.
 For best results, your battery tool should be charged in
a location where the temperature is more than 50°F but
less than 94°F. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
do not store outside or in vehicles.
 Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery
leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact with your
skin, wash immediately with soap and water. If liquid
gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water for at
least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical attention.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal
injury.
 Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use
them to instruct others who may use this product. If you
loan someone this instrument, loan them these instructions
also.
