SPECIFIC SAFETY
RULES
!
WARNING:
circular saw. Do not plug in the charger
or install the battery in the tool until you
have read and understand this
Instruction Manual. Learn the tool's
applications and limitations, as well as
the specific potential hazards related to
this tool. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
Always wear eye protection. Any power
tool can throw foreign objects
into your eyes and cause
permanent eye damage.
ALWAYS wear safety goggles
(not glasses) that comply with ANSI safety
standard Z87.1. Everyday glasses have
only impact resistant lenses. They ARE
NOT safety glasses.
!
WARNING:
not in compliance with ANSI Z87.1
could cause serious injury when they
break.
!
DANGER:
Never use the level in the
presence of small children. Small children
may stare directly into the laser light beam
and cause serious eye injury.

POWER TOOL SAFETY

Know your cordless
Glasses or goggles
!
DANGER:
is projected from the front of the laser level
can be dangerous to eyesight. Never allow
anyone to stare directly into the light.
Staring directly into the light beam may
result in serious eye damage.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the
saw blade may contact hidden wiring or its
own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will
make exposed metal parts of the tool "live"
and shock the operator.
Always hold the tool with two hands.
Attempting to control the tool with only one
hand is dangerous. It could result in loss of
control and serious injury.
Always make sure the work surface is free
of nails and other foreign objects. Cutting
into a nail can cause the blade and the tool
to jump and damage the blade.
Never hold the workpiece in one hand and
the tool in the other hand when sawing.
Never place your hands near or below the
cutting surface. Clamping the material and
guiding the tool with both hands is much
safer.
Never lay workpiece on hard surfaces like
concrete, stone, etc. The protruding blade
may cause tool to jump.
Always wear safety goggles, hearing
protection and a dust mask. Use only in
well-ventilated areas. Using personal
safety devices and working in a safe
environment reduces risk of injury.
