Safety Rules for Laser Tools
The following label is on your laser tool for your safety. AL-
WAYS BE AWARE of its location when using the tool.
DO NOT direct the laser beam at persons or
animals and do not stare into the laser beam
yourself.This tool produces class 2 laser radia-
tion 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.
DO NOT place the measuring tool in a position that may
cause anyone to stare into the laser beam intentionally or
unintentionally. Serious eye injury could result.
Never aim the beam at a workpiece with a reflective surface.
Bright shiny reflective sheet steel or similar reflective
surfaces are not recommended for laser use. Reflective
surfaces could direct the beam back towards the operator.
