 Store the machine in a safe manner when not being
used. The storage location must be dry and lockable.
This prevents the machine from storage damage, and from
being operated by untrained persons.
Do not direct the laser beam at persons
or animals and do not stare into the di-
rect or reflected laser beam yourself, not
even from a distance. You could blind
somebody, cause accidents or damage
your eyes.
 If laser radiation strikes your eye, you must deliberate-
ly close your eyes and immediately turn your head
away from the beam.
 Do not make any modifications to the laser equipment.
 Do not replace the installed laser with another laser
type. A laser that is not suitable for this power tool could
pose dangers for other persons.
 Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamp-
ing devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
 Never leave the machine before it has come to a com-
plete stop. Cutting tools that are still running can cause in-
juries.
 Never use the machine with a damaged cable. Do not
touch the damaged cable and pull the mains plug when
the cable is damaged while working. Damaged cables in-
crease the risk of an electric shock.
Products sold in GB only: Your product is fitted with a
BS 1363/A approved electric plug with internal fuse (ASTA
approved to BS 1362).
If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be
cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an author-
ised customer service agent. The replacement plug should
have the same fuse rating as the original plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible
shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains sock-
et elsewhere.
Products sold in AUS and NZ only: Use a residual current de-
vice (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
