may cause anyone to stare into the laser beam
intentionally or unintentionally. Serious eye injury
could result.
do not operate the laser level around children
or allow children to operate the tool. Serious
eye injury could result.
Always turn the laser level off when not in use.
Leaving the tool on increases the risk of someone
inadvertently staring into the laser beam.
do not operate the laser level in combustible
areas such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gasses, or dust.
Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a
surface without reflective properties. Shiny
reflective materials are not suitable for laser use.
handle the laser level with care. Treat it as you
would any other optical device such as a camera
or binoculars.
Avoid exposing the laser level to shock,
continuous vibration or extreme hot or cold
temperatures. Damage to the tool and/or serious
injury to the user could result.
