LASER SAFETY
NEVER LOOK INTO THE LASER BEAM. Any contact with the eyes by the beam
could cause injury. Do not use the laser when cutting reflective materials.
DO NOT AIM THE LASER BEAM AT ANYONE OR AT REFLECTIVE SURFACES.
CLASS 2M LASER PRODUCT. Any contact with the eyes by the beam could
cause injury. Ensure the laser beam is turned on only when the tool is on a non-
reflective workpiece and as such it is aimed only at the work surface. Metals and
other materials like steel which can be highly reflective should only be cut with-
out the use of the laser.
STORE OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. Equipment should be in a high location
or locked up to keep out of reach of children. It is not a toy.
DO NOT TAMPER WITH THE LASER OUTPUT. Changing the performance of the
laser to increase its output is prohibited. Any claim for damages or injuries
resulting from not following these instructions will be refused.
OPERATION ACCESSIBLE FIELDS:
Wavelength 636-660nm
Laser Power for Classification <1mW CW
NEVER OPERATE LASER IF THE UNIT IS DEFECTIVE OR THE COVER OR SEAL
IS DAMAGED.
DO NOT SERVICE LASER. The laser unit must be returned to the factory for any
service or repair. Service or repair must be handled by authorized factory
trained technicians.
Do not open the laser unit except to change batteries.
REMOVE BATTERIES IF THE LEVEL IS TO BE STORED FOR ANY LENGTH OF
TIME. Batteries may leak and damage the laser if it is stored idle for more than
3 months.
Be careful with this tool. Striking or jarring it, especially on the laser housing,
can affect its accuracy.
Other than batteries, there are no user-serviceable parts in the laser device.

The use of the metal cutting band saw should be limited to the following materials.
• Tool steel, stainless steel or alloy steel
• Bearing bronze or mild steel
• Hard brass or bronze
• Soft brass, aluminum or other light materials
BAND SAW BLADE SELECTION
Special attention should be given as to the type of band saw blade used with the
metal cutting band saw.
1. One 1/2" X 0.025" X 641/2 min X 651/2 max X 14 tooth per inch blade is fur-
nished with the band saw from the factory. Additional blades should be the
same dimensions but can be either 10 or 14 teeth per inch.
2. Blade pitch or number of teeth per inch should be determined by the material
being cut. The thinner the material being cut, the more teeth per inch is advis-
able and vice versa. There should always be a minimum of 3 teeth in the work-
piece at all times for proper cutting.
3. If the teeth on the blade straddle the material being cut, severe damage to the
workpiece and premature dulling can occur to the blade.
