•Be sure you have read and understood
all warnings, safety rules and operating
instructions before using the instrument.
Failure to follow these safety rules and
instructions may result in laser radiation
hazards or personal injury.
•DO NOT attempt in any way to alter
the components of the laser tool.
•This instrument emits laser radiation.
Do not stare into the laser or aim
the laser at people or animals.
•Any operation, adjustment or procedure
beyond the instructions described
herein may cause serious laser-induced
radiation damage.
•This instrument contains a laser
generator, which can generate light
waves of Class 2 laser radiation at a
wavelength of 635 nm, with maximum
output laser power up to 1 mW.
Laser beams under this class normally
do not cause optical damage.
•Observe the warning label on the back of
the instrument. The triangle mark atop
the label indicates the location from
which the laser beam is emitted.
IMPORTANT! People wearing
prescription glasses or contact lenses
should be extra careful when around laser
emitting equipment.
