2.6 Safety Warnings for Lasers
The chop- and mitre saw has a built-in laser light. The la-
ser is CLASS IIIa. These lasers do not normally present
an optical hazard. However, DO NOT stare at the beam,
as this can cause flash blindness.
- Do not remove or deface any product labels. Re-
moving product labels increases the risk of exposure
to laser radiation.
- The laser beam can be harmful to the eyes. Al-
ways avoid direct expose to eyes. Do not project the
laser beam directly into the eyes or at any object
other than the work piece.
- Do not look directly into the laser-beam-output
aperture during operation.
- Turn the laser on only when making cuts. The la-
ser 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 per-
son for any reason.
- Always turn the laser beam off when it is not in
use. Leaving the tool on increases the risk of so-
meone inadvertently staring into the laser's beam.
- Make 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 the chop- and mitre saw on materials
that have shiny, reflective surfaces, such as
sheet metal. 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 sur-
faces can also be dangerous.
- Always wear laser protective eyewear when working
on or near reflective surfaces.
- Do not attempt to activate the laser when the tool
housing is removed
- The laser is activated by means of a button switch
that is independent of the main switch for the saw.
- Do not replace the laser light assembly with a
different one. Any repairs must be carried out by
the laser manufacturer or an authorized service
agent.
- Do not attempt to repair the laser guide by yourself.
- Do not attempt to change any parts of the laser
guide.

2.7 General Safety Instruction for the
Electrical Tools
WARNING!
Read all safety instructions, pictures, illustrati-
ons, and technical data that accompany this
electricaltool.
Failure to follow the instructions below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
All safety instructions and instructions should be
kept for the future.
1 Workplace safety
a) Keep your work area clean and well-lighted. Disor-
der and poorly lit work areas can lead to serious in-
jury.
b) Do not use the power tool in potentially explosive
atmospheres containing flammable liquids, gases
or dusts. Electrical tools produce sparks that can
ignite the dust or gases.
c) Keep children and other persons away while
using the electrical tool.
If you are distracted, you may lose control of the tool.
2 Electrical safety
a) The connector plug of the power tool must fit into
the socket. The plug must not be changed in any
way. Do not use adapter plugs together with eart-
hed power tools. Unchanged plugs and suitable soc-
kets reduce the risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid direct body contact with grounded surfaces
such as pipes, heaters, stoves and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is grounded.
c) Keep power tools away from rain or humidity.
Entering of water into a electrical tool increases the
risk of electric shock.
d) Do not misuse the connecting cable to carry or
hang the power tool or to pull the plug out of the
socket. Keep the connecting cable away from heat,
oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled connecting wires increase the risk of
electric shock.
e) If you are working with a electrical tool outdoors,
only use extension cords that are pecifically con-
structed for outdoor use. The use of an extension
cable specifically constructed for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock.
f) If operation of the electrical tool in a humid env-
ironment is unavoidable, use a residual current
circuit breaker. The use of a residual current circuit
breaker reduces the risk of electric shock.
