Be sure the laser beam is aimed at a work piece that does not have a
reflective surface, such as wood or a rough-coated surface. Reflective sur-
faces can reflect the laser light into your eyes, causing flash blindness
Do not use on surfaces such as sheet steel that have shiny, reflective
surfaces. The shiny surface could reflect the beam back at the operator. Be
aware that laser light reflected off a mirror or any other reflective surface can
be dangerous,
Always turn the laser beam off when not in use. Leaving the tool on in-
creases the risk of someone inadvertently staring into the laser beam.
Do not attempt to modify the performance of this laser device. This may
result in a dangerous exposure to laser radiation°
Use only accessories that are recommended by Sears. Use of other ac-
cessories 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,

Don't use in a dangerous environment, Don't use power tools in damp or wet
locations or expose them to rain. Do not operate power tools in explosive at-
mospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Operate the tool in wellwentilated areas, and provide proper dust removal.
Dust generated from some materials can be hazardous to your health° Use dust-
collection systems whenever possible°
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power toot. Distractions
cause you to lose control.
Use the right tool. Don't force a tool or attachment to do a job for which it was
not designed.
Make the workshop kid-proof with padlocks, master switches, or by removing
starter keys°
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Do not change the plug in any way. This circular saw is a double-insulated too!,
Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other.) This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not
fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified elec-
trician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
2. Double insulation[_eliminates the need for the three-wire grounded power cord
and grounded power supply system. Applicable only to Class II (double insulated)
tools.
