General Safety Rules
! WARNING LASER RADIATION. AVOID
DIRECT EYE EXPOSURE. DO NOT stare
into the laser light source. Never aim light
at another person or object other than the
workpiece. Laser light can damage
your eyes.
! WARNING Read all instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Do not direct the laser beam at persons or animals and do
not stare into the laser beam yourself. This tool produces
laser class 2 laser radiation and complies with 21 CFR
1040.10 and 1040.11 except for deviations pursuant to
Laser Notice No. 50, dated June 24, 2007. This can lead to persons
being blinded.
