5 These chemicals include: Lead from lead-based paints Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber Your level of risk from exposure to these chemicals will vary, according to how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area and use approved safety equipment such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. ! Power TOOL SAFETY ! Always wear eye protection. Any Power tool can throw foreign objects into your eyes, which could cause permanent eye damage.

6 ALWAYS wear safety goggles (not glasses) that comply with ANSI safety standard Everyday glasses only have impact resistant lenses. They ARE NOT safety glasses. WARNING: Glasses or goggles that do not comply with ANSI could cause serious injury if they break. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR REFERENCE DANGER: The laser light beam that is projected from the front of the laser level can be dangerous to eyesight. Never allow anyone to stare directly into the light. Staring directly into the light beam may result in serious eye damage.

7 ! 4 GENERAL SAFETY RULES WARNING: Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all of the instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury. WORK AREA Keep your work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents. Do not operate Power Tools in a potentially explosive environment, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power Tools create sparks, which may ignite the dust or fumes. Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating a Power tool.

8 Distractions can cause you to lose control. ELECTRICAL SAFETY Double insulated Tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not alter the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three-prong grounded Power cord and grounded Power supply system. Avoid contact between your body and grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.

9 There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded. Do not expose Power Tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering the Power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool or to pull the plug out of an outlet. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, and moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock. When operating a Power tool outdoors, use an outdoor extension cord marked W-A or W . These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.

10 PERSONAL SAFETY Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a Power tool. Do not use the tool when tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating a Power tool could result in serious personal injury. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. Avoid accidental starting. Verify that the switch is in the OFF position before plugging the tool in.
