SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR LASERS
This miter saw has a built-in laser light. The laser is a Class Ilia and emits output
power of a maximum 2.5roW and 635-665nm wavelengths. These lasers do not
normally present an optical hazard. However, DO NOT stare at the beam as this can
cause flash blindness.
[ :tmJn d[o] I
CAUTION: The following label is on your tool.
It indicates where 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.

AVOID EXPOSURE _,
Laser radiation is emitted through
this aperture
z WARNING: LASER LIGHT. LASER RADIATION. Avoid Direct Eye
Exposure. DO NOT stare into beam. Only turn laser beam on when the saw
is on the workpiece. Class Ilia laser.
z WARNING: Use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures
other than those specified in this manual may result in hazardous radiation
exposure.
z WARNING: The use of optical instruments such as, but not limited to,
telescopes or transits to view the laser beam will increase eye hazard.
1 DO NOT remove or deface any product labels. Removing product labels
increases the risk of exposure to laser radiation.
2 The laser beam can be harmful to the eyes. ALWAYS avoid direct eye
exposure. DO NOT Iook directly into the laser beam output aperture during
operation. DO NOT project the laser beam directly into the eyes of others. Turn
laser on ONLY when making cuts.
3. The laser on the miter saw is not a toy. ALWAYS keep out of the reach of children.
The laser light emitted from this device SHOULD NEVER be directed towards
any person for any reason.
4. BE SURE the laser beam is aimed at a workpiece (such as wood or rough coated
surfaces) that does not have a reflective surface.
5. DO NOT use on surfaces such as sheet steel that have a shiny, reflective surface.
The shiny 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.
6. ALWAYS turn the laser beam off when not in use. Leaving the tooI on increases
the risk of someone inadvertently staring into the laser's beam.
A CAUTION: ALWAYS follow only the instructions contained in this I
manual when using this laser. Use of this feature in any manner other than
I
what appears in this manual may result in a hazardous radiation exposure.

7. DO NOT attempt to modify the performance of this laser device in any way. This
may result in a dangerous exposure to laser radiation.
8. ALWAYS use only the accessories that are recommended by Sears for use with
this product. Use of accessories that have been designed for use with other laser
tools could result in serious injury.
9. 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.
WORK AREA SAFETY
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. DO NOT leave tools or wood scraps on
the saw while it is in operation. Cluttered workbenches and dark areas invite
accidents.
2. DO NOT operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3 ALWAYS keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to tose control.
4. Make your workshop childproof with padlocks and master switches. Lock tools
away when not in use.
5. MAKE SURE the work area has ample lighting so you can see the work and
that there are no obstructions that will interfere with safe operation BEFORE
using your saw.
PERSONALSAFETY
!. KNOW your power tool. Read the operator's manual carefully. Learn the saw's
applications and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards related to
this tool.
2. STAY ALERT, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating
a power tool.
3. DO NOT use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
4. DRESS properly. DO NOT wear loose clothing or jewelry. Pull back long hair.
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing or
long hair can be caught in moving parts. Air vents often cover moving parts and
should also be avoided.
5. AVOID accidental starting. Be sure switch is in "OFF" position before plugging in.
6. REMOVE adjusting keys or blade wrenches before turning the tool "ON".
A wrench that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal
injury.
7 DO NOT overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper
footing and balance enables better control of the toot in unexpected situations.
