Safety rules for laser lights

The laser light/laser radiation used in the GMC REDEYE

®

system is Class 2 with maximum ≤1mW and 400 – 700nm

wavelength. These lasers do not normally present an optical

hazard, although staring at the beam may cause flash

blindness.

WARNING.

Do not stare directly at the laser beam.

A hazard may exist if you deliberately stare into the beam,

please observe all safety rules as follows;

The laser shall be used and maintained in accordance

with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Never aim the beam at any person or an object other

than the work piece.

The laser beam shall not be deliberately aimed at

personnel and shall be prevented from being directed

towards the eye of a person for longer than 0.25s.

Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a sturdy work

piece without reflective surfaces. i.e. wood or rough

coated surfaces are acceptable. Bright shiny reflective

sheet steel or the like is not suitable for laser use as

the reflective surface could direct the beam back at the

operator.

Do not change the laser light assembly with a different

type. Repairs must only be carried out by the laser

manufacturer or an authorised agent.

CAUTION.

Use of controls or adjustments or performance

of procedures other than those specified herein may result

in hazardous radiation exposure.
Please refer to the relevant Australian standards, AS 2397

and AS/NZS 2211 for more information on Lasers.

General safety rules

WARNING.

Read all instructions. Failure to follow all

instructions listed below may result in electric shock,

fire and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of

the warnings listed below refers to your mains operated

(corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless)

power tool.

Save these instructions
1. Work area
a. Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered and dark

areas invite accidents.

b. Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres,

such as in the presence of flammable

liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which

may ignite the dust or fumes.

c. Keep children and bystanders away while

operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to

lose control.

2. Electrical safety
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify

the plug in any way.

Do not use any adapter plugs with

earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and

matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded

surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and

refrigerators.

There is an increased risk of electric shock

if your body is earthed or grounded.

c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of

electric shock.

d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for

carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.

Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving

parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of

electric shock.
