SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR LASERS
This Mitre Saw has a built-in laser light. The laser
is ClassIIlA and emits output power of a maximum
2.5mW and 635-650nm wavelengths. These lasers
do not normally present an optical hazard.
However, DO NOT stare at the beam, as this can
cause flash blindness.
CAUTION: The following label is on the tool. It
indicates the location from which the saw emits the laser light. BE AWARE of the
laser-light location when using. Always make sure that any bystanders in the vicinity
of use are made aware of the dangers of looking directly into the laser.
•
Do not remove or deface any product labels. Removing product labels
increases the risk of exposure to laser radiation.
•
The laser beam can be harmful to the eyes. Always avoid direct eye
exposure.
•
Do not look directly into the laser-beam-output aperture during operation.
•
Do not project the laser beam directly into the eyes of others.
•
Turn the laser on only when making cuts. The laser on the Mitre Saw is not a toy.
Always keep it out of the reach of children. The laser light emitted from this
device should never be directed toward any person for any reason.
•
Be sure that the laser beam is aimed at a work piece (such as wood or a
rough-coated surface) that does not have a reflective surface.
•
Do not use on materials, such as sheet steel, that have shiny, reflective surfaces.
The reflective 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 it is not in use. Leaving the tool on
increases the risk of someone inadvertently staring into the laser's beam.
CAUTION: Always follow the instructions contained in this manual when using
this laser. Use of this feature in any manner other than which is directed in this
manual may result in a hazardous radiation exposure.
•
Always wear laser-protective eyewear when working on or near reflective
surfaces
