• Store an idle laser out of reach of children and other
untrained persons. Lasers are dangerous in the hands of
untrainedusers.
• Tool service MUST be performed by qualified repair
personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel may result in injury. To locate your nearest Stanley
service center go to http://www.2helpU.com.
• Do not use optical tools such as a telescope or transit to
view the laser beam. Serious eye injury could result.
• Do not place the laser in a position which may cause
anyone to intentionally or unintentionally stare into the
laser beam. Serious eye injury couldresult.
• Do not position the laser near a reflective surface which
may reflect the laser beam toward anyone’s eyes. Serious
eye injury couldresult.
• Turn the laser off when it is not in use. Leaving the laser on
increases the risk of staring into the laserbeam.
• Do not modify the laser in any way. Modifying the tool
may result in hazardous laser radiationexposure.
• Do not operate the laser around children or allow
children to operate the laser. Serious eye injury mayresult.
• Do not remove or deface warning labels. If labels are
removed, the user or others may inadvertently expose
themselves toradiation.
• Position the laser securely on a level surface. If the laser
falls, damage to the laser or serious injury couldresult.
Personal Safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense
when operating the laser. Do not use the laser when you are
tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating the laser may result in
serious personalinjury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Depending on the work conditions, wearing
protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, and hearing protection will reduce
personalinjury.
Tool Use and Care
• Do not use the laser if the Power/Transport Lock switch
does not turn the laser on or off. Any tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must berepaired.
• Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this
manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
Maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock
orinjury.
